Hi Se`bastien
|Daniele> your code seems to be quite demanded ;)
not so much .. you just need a little effort but not so much ;)
|you do it that way:
|
|retval = sock->ops->bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *) knetlog->addr_in,
|sizeof(struct sockaddr));
|
|
|whereas I use IPv6 and therefore do so:
|
|
|struct sockaddr_in6 sin;
|...
|error = sock->ops->bind(sock,(struct sockaddr*)&sin,sizeof(sin));
i'm sorry but i never played with IPv6 ;(
|my socket works very fine, but I'm wondering if passing sizeof(sin) instead of
|sizeof(struct sockaddr) is wise.
Why should it be wise?
|Could it cause some troubles at some point?
i don't think so.
|khttpd might also be used as example of threads and sockets...
|(from 2.4 if i recall correctly, but has been given up in 2.6)
Be aware, my kernel module doesn't compile with 2.6.
