I've been following the example <http://kernelnewbies.org/Simple_UDP_Server>, and I am having some success -- only tried receiving so far -- but I am getting an error when I try to insert the following between the sock_create and bind calls. -----------8<------------------ { int arg = 1; err = kthread->sock->ops->setsockopt(kthread->sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (void *)&arg, sizeof(arg)); if (err) { printk(KERN_INFO, "kthread[%d] setsockopt REUSEADDR error: %d\n", kthread->voipch, err); } } -----------8<------------------ Here is the error message: ksocket_start: kthread[0] setsockopt REUSEADDR error: -92 The packets are recv'd, but why can't I use SO_REUSEADDR ???
