hii just want to have something like tcp layer sitting below inet layer. so that i can directly offload everything to NIC and i want it to be placed dynamically. so depending on the nic i can offload the feature or can make it normal flow. i.e. both layer should exist and normal functionality should not break. this code is in af_inet.c static struct inet_protosw inetsw_array[] = { { .type = SOCK_STREAM, .protocol = IPPROTO_TCP, .prot = &tcp_prot, .ops = &inet_stream_ops, .capability = -1, .no_check = 0, .flags = INET_PROTOSW_PERMANENT | INET_PROTOSW_ICSK, }, { .type = SOCK_DGRAM, .protocol = IPPROTO_UDP, .prot = &udp_prot, .ops = &inet_dgram_ops, .capability = -1, .no_check = UDP_CSUM_DEFAULT, .flags = INET_PROTOSW_PERMANENT, }, { .type = SOCK_RAW, .protocol = IPPROTO_IP, /* wild card */ .prot = &raw_prot, .ops = &inet_sockraw_ops, .capability = CAP_NET_RAW, .no_check = UDP_CSUM_DEFAULT, .flags = INET_PROTOSW_REUSE, } }; i was just going through the code i found that if i can regsiter above kind of registration dynamically i will be able to do that. i have tried to do that but since normal tcp registered this at boot up time i am not able to unregister this dynamically so is it possible to unregister tcp and register my protocol dynamically.
