I used the following code with the output, I don't understand why this doesn't work.

struct iphdr *iph = ip_hdr(skb);

char *tmp = NULL;

int optlen = iph->ihl*4 - sizeof(struct iphdr);

if (optlen > 0)

{

printk("ihl=%d\n", iph->ihl);

printk("optlen=%d\n", optlen);

tmp = kzalloc(sizeof(struct iphdr), GFP_ATOMIC);

memcpy(tmp, iph, sizeof(struct iphdr));

memcpy(iph + optlen, tmp, sizeof(struct iphdr));

kfree(tmp);

skb_pull(skb, optlen);

skb_reset_network_header(skb);

iph = ip_hdr(skb);

printk("new ihl=%d\n", iph->ihl);

iph->ihl -= optlen>>2;

printk("newest ihl=%d\n", iph->ihl);

}

The output is:

[ 401.754279] ihl=8

[ 401.754288] optlen=12

[ 401.754293] new ihl=15

[ 401.754296] newest ihl=12

Hi,
In the kernel, I added some customized options to the ip_options struct, and I send the ip packet with these option fields set.

After I receive the packet, I extract these options and try to remove them from the ip packet because I don't want these options be delivered to upper layer.

In the method ip_rcv_finish of the file ip_input.c, I added following code:

/*********My code to process the options****/

process_my_options(skb);
/*********My code to remove the options ****/
//skb_pull(skb, sizeof(struct iphdr) + 12);

//skb_push(skb, sizeof(struct iphdr));
//skb_reset_network_header(skb);
//iph->ihl -= 3;

/*********Normal process of the ip packet.****/
if (iph->ihl > 5 && ip_rcv_options(skb))

goto drop;

The question is at how to remove the options. I tried some code but none of them works correctly. Can anybody give me some suggestion? Thanks.
