I am trying to make associations between my own structures and those of 'struct socket' as they are being passed in by the proto_ops functions. But I don't see that any of the sockets have a unique id. I've searched all throughout socket.c and file descriptors seem to be only accessible in the syscalls and sockets stored in files. I've found calls such as sockfd_lookup() which get me a socket w/ a fd, but if there were a way to get a fd from passing a socket, I could then use that to say "this incoming socket belongs to this data structure on my linked list". Anyway's, once the protocol specific behaviour (sock->ops) function has been called invoking my modules proto_ops function ... I no longer have access to the fd and so therefore, I'm not sure how to relate my other protocol data structures w/ that of the socket. Can anyone comment on the best way to handle socket associations and how to identify a socket w/ a unique identifier (I'm just not seeing anything uniquely specific). Also, can anyone briefly explain what 'struct sock'.sk_socket is for? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
