sk_run_filter(9) run a filter on a socket

SYNOPSIS

unsigned int sk_run_filter(const struct sk_buff * skb, const struct sock_filter * fentry);

ARGUMENTS

skb

buffer to run the filter on

fentry

filter to apply

DESCRIPTION

Decode and apply filter instructions to the skb->data. Return length to keep, 0 for none. skb is the data we are filtering, filter is the array of filter instructions. Because all jumps are guaranteed to be before last instruction, and last instruction guaranteed to be a RET, we dont need to check flen. (We used to pass to this function the length of filter)
