12.4.3 sk_buff数据结构的核心内容

sk_buff 数据结构中包含了一些指针和长度信息，从而可让协议层以标准的函数或方法对应用程序的数据进行处理，其定义于include/linux/skbuff.h中：

struct sk_buff {

        /* These two members must be first. */

        struct sk_buff  *next;      /* Next buffer in list*/                         

        struct sk_buff  *prev;       /* Previous buffer in list*/                     

 

        struct sk_buff_head * list;      /* List we areon */                             

          structsock     *sk;          /* Socket we are owned by */                     

             struct timeval stamp;                  /*Time we arrived */                            

struct net_device      *dev;        /* Device we arrived on/are leaving by  */

 

        /* Transport layer header */

       union

        {

               struct tcphdr   *th;

               struct udphdr  *uh;

               struct icmphdr  *icmph;

               struct igmphdr  *igmph;

               struct iphdr    *ipiph;

                struct spxhdr   *spxh;

                unsigned char   *raw;

        } h;

 

        /* Network layer header */

        union

        {

               struct iphdr    *iph;

               struct ipv6hdr  *ipv6h;

               struct arphdr   *arph;

               struct ipxhdr   *ipxh;

                unsigned char   *raw;

        } nh;

 

        /*Link layer header */

        union

        {      

                struct ethhdr   *ethernet;

                unsigned char   *raw;

        } mac;

 

        struct  dst_entry*dst;

 

        /*

         * This is the control buffer. It is free to use for every

         * layer. Please put your private variablesthere. If you

        * want to keep them across layers you have to do a skb_clone()

        * first. This is owned by whoeverhas the skb queued ATM.

         */

     char            cb[48]; 

 

    unsigned int    len;         /* Length of actual data*/                       

     unsignedint    data_len;

    unsigned int    csum;            /* Checksum   */                                 

    unsigned char   __unused,       /* Deadfield, may be reused  */                 

  cloned, /* head may be cloned (check refcnt to be sure). */

                 pkt_type,        /* Packet class  */                            

                ip_summed;        /*Driver fed us an IP checksum   */            

   __u32          priority;     /* Packet queueing priority */                   

         atomic_t       users;     /*User count - see datagram.c,tcp.c */          

        unsigned short  protocol;    /* Packet protocol fromdriver.  */              

        unsigned short  security;   /* Security level of packet*/                   

        unsigned int    truesize;        /* Buffer size */                                

 

        unsigned char  *head;         /*Head of buffer  */                            

        unsigned char  *data;                 /* Data head pointer                           

        unsignedchar   *tail;                 /* Tail pointer                                

    unsignedchar   *end;                /* End pointer  */                               

        void     (*destructor)(struct sk_buff *); /* Destruct function  */         

   …

  }

 该结构的示意图如图12.13所示：  

          

图12.13 sk_buff  结构

每个 sk_buff 均包含一个数据块、四个数据指针以及两个长度字段。利用四个数据指针，各协议层可操纵和管理套接字缓冲区的数据，这四个指针的用途是：

head：指向内存中数据区的起始地址。sk_buff和相关数据块在分配之后，该指针的值是固定的。

data： 指向协议数据的当前起始地址。该指针的值随当前拥有 sk_buff 的协议层的变化而变化。

tail：指向协议数据的当前结尾地址。和 data指针一样，该指针的值也随当前拥有 sk_buff 的协议层的变化而变化。

end：指向内存中数据区的结尾。和 head指针一样，sk_buff 被分配之后，该指针的值也固定不变。

 

sk_buff 有两个非常重要长度字段，len和 truesize，分别描述当前协议数据包的长度和数据缓冲区的实际长度。
