It's a bad idea. You can do this but unless you have some critically important latency reason to do this inside the kernel then it's just not worth considering - kernel code is harder to tweak, harder to debug and runs without a safety net. It's also harder to handle sleeping and other fundamental issues of socket based communications from within the kernel. > Can you tell me your reasons? ... if you don't mind, of course ;-) Can you tell us your reasons for doing this in-kernel?
