30 This header defines an API for creating and interacting with sockets
31 in the kernel. It is possible to create sockets in the kernel
32 without an associated file descriptor. In some cases, a reference to
33 the socket may be known while the file descriptor is not. These
34 functions can be used for interacting with sockets in the kernel.
35 The API is similar to the user space socket API.

51 @discussion sock_upcall is used by a socket to notify an in kernel
52 client that data is waiting. Instead of making blocking calls in
53 the kernel, a client can specify an upcall which will be called
54 when data is available or the socket is ready for sending.
56 Calls to your upcall function are not serialized and may be
57 called concurrently from multiple threads in the kernel.
59 Your upcall function will be called:
60 when there is data more than the low water mark for reading,
61 or when there is space for a write,
62 or when there is a connection to accept,
63 or when a socket is connected,
64 or when a socket is closed or disconnected
