Re: Help Regarding Sockt in Linux 2.6

["Agent Smith" <agentsy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since protinfo is a private data area (a void pointer). u can use it according to ur convenience (declare a structure of ur interest which will be pointed to by protinfo). 

if u r using KERNEL_VERSION <= 2.6.10 inet_opt structure is ur friend. For KERNEL_VERSION > 
2.6.10 use inet_sock.

Hi...


I am having a code written to set the TOS field for linux 2.4 kernel.
Now I have to port the same code on Linux 2.6 kernel. Now since all of
you might be knowing that the socket structure has undergone a
complete revamp in linux 2.6. The code snippet which i used in 2.4 was
sock->sk->protinfo.af_inet.tos = 0xb8 ;

Now the sock structure is not having the protinfo and is replaced by
sk_protinfo field which prviously used to be a union. Now it has been
changed to a void *. So can anyone help me to set the tos value????
