Argh... that explains the crashes, of course. You have a good memory! > Actually, skbs owned by sockets should not be copied at all, if > mangle does not involve change of data. The NAT code is special: it will always mangle packet the same way, so it doesn't *REALLY* matter if we mangle the original packet for local output (if we change IP headers in different ways for retransmission of the same packet, we would have much bigger problems). > B. It is very strange that a copy happened in local output path. > The problem which was supposed to be cured by this was at input. My solution was too generic: *any* cloned skb was copied. Repairing is simple. Does this work for everyone? Particularly while running tcpdump?
