I am trying to understand the behaviour of sockets and the journey of a a packet in detail. I am stuck in one position. The __sock_create function calls the security_socket_create. This function in turn calls the security_ops->socket_create(family, type, protocol, kern); I am lost here as I am not able to find out where this socket_create is registered and who registers this function.
