rarely used

sk_prot_creator

sk_prot of original sock creator (see ipv6_setsockopt, IPV6_ADDRFORM for instance)

sk_callback_lock

used with the callbacks in the end of this struct

sk_err

last error

sk_err_soft

errors that don´t cause failure but are the cause of a persistent failure not just ´timed out´

sk_drops

raw/udp drops counter

sk_ack_backlog

current listen backlog

sk_max_ack_backlog

listen backlog set in listen

sk_priority

SO_PRIORITY setting

SO_RCVTIMEO setting

sk_sndtimeo

SO_SNDTIMEO setting

sk_filter

socket filtering instructions

sk_protinfo

private area, net family specific, when not using slab

sk_timer

sock cleanup timer

sk_stamp

time stamp of last packet received

sk_socket

Identd and reporting IO signals

sk_user_data

RPC layer private data

sk_sndmsg_page

cached page for sendmsg

sk_send_head

front of stuff to transmit

sk_sndmsg_off

cached offset for sendmsg

sk_write_pending

a write to stream socket waits to start

sk_security

used by security modules

sk_mark

generic packet mark

sk_state_change

callback to indicate change in the state of the sock

sk_data_ready

callback to indicate there is data to be processed

sk_write_space

callback to indicate there is bf sending space available

sk_error_report

callback to indicate errors (e.g. MSG_ERRQUEUE)

sk_backlog_rcv

callback to process the backlog

sk_destruct

called at sock freeing time, i.e. when all refcnt == 0
