Re: [PATCH] pcap: fix captured frame length

From: Dror Birkman <hidden>

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks.
I tried to test my application with a pcap file I had, but got weird
results, so I wrote back the rte_mbufs in pcap format and hex compared it
to my input pcap. Only then I noticed that my original pcap had frames that
were captured with a length smaller than the frame length.

I guess you can call it pure (bad) luck :)

Hi Dror,

Good catch. What you are saying makes sense and it is also explained in
pcap's documentation. Was your setup unusual though?
This might sound like a silly question but I don't remember seeing that
issue and I should have since your fix is correct.

Nico.

The actual captured length is header.caplen, whereas header.len is
the original length on the wire.

Without this fix, if the captured length is smaller than the original
length on the wire, mbuf will contain incorrect data.
