Socket Connection from Kernel Space

[Tharindu Rukshan Bamunuarachchi <btharindu@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi All,

We are writing distributed file system over RDMA. 
Initially we are trying export file system data over UDP multicast so same method can be used to export data over UD/RDMA.

Is it safe to send udp data from kernel space ? we have to open the socket which will multicast set of data. 

What is the difference between sock_create() and sock_create_kern() ? 

Thanks a lot.
