Query about sock_release

[Satinder <jeet_sat12@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

 

 

Hi everybody,

 I am having a query regarding the socket api  uses in module writing.

 I am writing a module in which I am allocating the socket using the sock_alloc() in init_module() function,
and mapping the socket to file descriptor using   fget(sock_map_fd(<sock pointer>))

 In cleanup function I am using sock_release() for doing cleanup work on unloading the module.
Does sock_release decreament the reference counter also ? or I have to do this my self using fput or sockfd_put?

 Is this is sufficient way of undoing the things (sock_alloc, sock_map_fd, fget) that I am doing in init_module().

Or there is still much cleaner way of doing this.

 
TIA,
Satinder
