Hello Maintainers: When not define NET_SKBUFF_DATA_USES_OFFSET, 'sk_buff_data_t' will be a pointer, then the last parameter of memmove() in mangle_contents() will be a pointer in "net/netfilter/nf_nat_helper.c". The reason is from the patch "1a37e41 net: Use 16bits for *_headers fields of struct skbuff", it changed the type of 'skb->network_header' for saving size, it needs additional improvement. The related warning (make EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W ARCH=m68k allmodconfig): arch/m68k/include/asm/string.h:61:14: note: expected ‘__kernel_size_t’ but argument is of type ‘sk_buff_data_t’ in "net/netfilter/nf_nat_helper.c"
Hi Chen, thanks for pointing this out. I am preparing a patch to resolve this problem.
91 /* Frobs data inside this packet, which is linear. */
92 static void mangle_contents(struct sk_buff *skb,
93 unsigned int dataoff,
94 unsigned int match_offset,
95 unsigned int match_len,
96 const char *rep_buffer,
97 unsigned int rep_len)
98 {
99 unsigned char *data;
100
101 BUG_ON(skb_is_nonlinear(skb));
102 data = skb_network_header(skb) + dataoff;
103
104 /* move post-replacement */
105 memmove(data + match_offset + rep_len,
106 data + match_offset + match_len,
107 skb->tail - (skb->network_header + dataoff +
108 match_offset + match_len));
