Wow, hit that nasty along the way: The test program will not work
on big endian machines because of a nasty difference between
the kernel struct sock_fprog and libpcap struct bpf_program:
Kernel expects:
struct sock_fprog { /* Required for SO_ATTACH_FILTER. */
unsigned short len; /* Number of filter blocks */
struct sock_filter __user *filter;
};
libpcap provides:
struct bpf_program {
u_int bf_len;
struct bpf_insn *bf_insns;
};
Note the unsigned short vs. unsigned int there ? This totally
breaks it here.
Is it expected that one can pass a struct bpf_program directly
to the kernel or should it be "converted" by the library in which
case it's just a bug in Jan's test program ?
Cheers,
Ben.
