I've got a couple of questions about TCP code that I'm hoping someone
could answer. I have a kernel thread with a struct sock waiting for a
state_change callback, but the callback is never getting, well, called
back.
When I setup the socket, I do the following steps
sock_create (new_socket, ...)
setup the sin structure
new_socket->ops->bind (new_socket, (struct sockaddr_in *) sin, ...)
new_socket->ops->listen (new_socket, ...)
I then setup the callbacks:
new_socket->sk->state_change = foo;
new_socket->sk->data_ready = bar;
At this point, everything in new_socket and new_socket->sk looks OK to me.
When I try and send data to the socket from the other end, however,
neither of these callbacks is ever activated.
So, here are my questions:
- My understanding from the code is that sk->state_change is called when a
struct sock transits from SYN_RCVD to ESTABLISHED and from ESTABLISHED to
{CLOSE_WAIT,FIN_WAIT_1}. Is this correct?
- sk->data_ready is called whenever any new data is deposited in the
associated sk_buff. Is this correct?
