Hi
I tried posting this to the netfilter users list but I didn't get any
response. Maybe its a question for the devs?
I have code that makes the SIOCGARP ioctl call that works correctly
(i.e. it either returns successfully when it finds a match in the arp
cache or it returns -1). However when I integrate that same code with
nfnetlink_queue code it no longer works as expected (i.e. it returns
successfully (0) when the address is not found in the arp cache and it
doesn't copy anything into the struct arpreq). I searched the archives
and didn't see anything about this. Does anyone have any idea what
could be causing this?

Correction: the code actually does behave as expected if the address
actually is in the arp cache. It is only when it is not there that it's
return value indicates success and nothing is copied into the struct
arpreq. The same code, on the same machine, running at the same time
works as expected when not linked in with the nfnetlink_queue code.

I'm running ...
# uname -a
Linux bugsbunny 2.6.30.9-102.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:19:26 EST
2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
... and these two modules get loaded when the nfnetlink_queue code gets
initialized ...
# /sbin/lsmod
Module Size Used by
nfnetlink_queue 7548 1
nfnetlink 3760 2 nfnetlink_queue
Thanks
