}; shared layout with inet_timewait_sock
synchronizer
incoming packets
always used with the per-socket spinlock held
space allocated forward
flow hash received from netif layer
raw/udp drops counter
size of receive buffer in bytes
socket filtering instructions
sock wait queue and async head
DMA copied packets
flow policy
SO_LINGER (l_onoff), SO_BROADCAST, SO_KEEPALIVE,
SO_OOBINLINE settings, SO_TIMESTAMPING settings
destination cache
destination cache lock
transmit queue bytes committed
"o“ is ”option“ or ”other"
size of send buffer in bytes
Packet sending queue
mask of SEND_SHUTDOWN and/or RCV_SHUTDOWN
SO_NO_CHECK setting, wether or not checkup packets
SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF settings
which protocol this socket belongs in this network family
persistent queue size
allocation mode
route capabilities (e.g. NETIF_F_TSO)
forbidden route capabilities (e.g NETIF_F_GSO_MASK)
GSO type (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4)
Maximum GSO segment size to build
SO_RCVLOWAT setting
SO_LINGER l_linger setting
rarely used
sk_prot of original sock creator (see ipv6_setsockopt, IPV6_ADDRFORM for instance)
used with the callbacks in the end of this struct
last error
errors that don't cause failure but are the cause of a persistent failure not just 'timed out'
current listen backlog
listen backlog set in listen
SO_PRIORITY setting
struct pid for this socket's peer
SO_PEERCRED setting
SO_RCVTIMEO setting
SO_SNDTIMEO setting
private area, net family specific, when not using slab
sock cleanup timer
time stamp of last packet received
Identd and reporting IO signals
RPC layer private data
cached page for sendmsg
front of stuff to transmit
cached offset for sendmsg
a write to stream socket waits to start
used by security modules
generic packet mark
this socket's cgroup classid
callback to indicate change in the state of the sock
callback to indicate there is data to be processed
callback to indicate there is bf sending space available
callback to indicate errors (e.g. MSG_ERRQUEUE)
callback to process the backlog
called at sock freeing time, i.e. when all refcnt == 0
