    Hi,

    Could anybody tell me what the "dead" field (sk->dead)
    in
         struct sock (include/net/sock.h)
    is?

    My understanding is that the "sk->dead" field is doing
    nothing besides ensuring that the callback functions
    don't get called ..

    I am creating a sock structure from the IP layer, and
    attempting to establish a connection with a remote
    host (running regular TCP/IP) .. I was wondering if
    setting sk->dead = 1
    would stop the invocations of call-back functions,
    without disrupting the data flow over the connection
    ..

    Thanks,
    Suvani.
