Modify the sock Structure!!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello! I try to modify the sock Structure in sock.h in order to record some data!
I just add a unsigned short in the end of the structure. such as:

struct sock {
   /* Socket demultiplex comparisons on incoming packets. */
   __u32            daddr;        /* Foreign IPv4 addr            */
   __u32            rcv_saddr;    /* Bound local IPv4 addr        */

        ...................................................................
       ....................................................................



 void                    (*destruct)(struct sock *sk);
unsigned short data; /*I put the unsigned short here*/
};



I re-complied the kernel. The kernel and network functions work normally so far. However, I am a new guy for the kernel programming. I just wonder this modification is safe or not. Is there any side-effect? Or I need to add additional code to avoid some unexpected
situation?  Thank you very much!
