This set provides a unification for control socket usage/creation for all protocols. The idea is to use sock rather than socket all around the protocols. (This has been partly done previously for ICMP/IPv6 staff). Additionally, the creation of such a sockets now performed uniformly via inet_csk_ctl_sock_create. After that TCP control socket is created and used on a per/namespace basis. Regards, Den P.S. This set includes the patch discussed yesterday with Vlad Yasevich.
