mem_segment_t old_fs=get_fs();
set_fs(get_ds());
/*****Add your Code here******/

function sys_socket in linux/net/socket.c

set_fs(old_fs);
Why do I have to use "set_fs(get_ds())" in order to use the available system calls? Can't I just be able to use them straight way?
Is there any performance penalty for using system call this way?
Thanks!
