Good point. That does complicate the things and I don't see a clean solution. So, back to the previous approach having sock field in the request structure and transparently rewrite it? What I didn't like was that there was a special function to send data and a descriptor, which was used only in one case. I think I'd like it better if instead of having a special function with extra parameter the case was handled directly in the sending/receiving functions. Basically merge send_to_helper() with send_with_fd() and move the bind_sock.sock update to the receiving function.
