I've got a BSD socket connection from inside a kext on another thread and I'm trying to find a way to cause it to abort without using a timeout or closing the connection. From userland, I've done the same thing by using a signal to abort the syscall, but haven't been able to figure out how to do the same thing from kernelspace. I've tried issuing sorwakeup() on my socket, but it seems to have no effect. I've tried a few other bit too, but this is the one that seemed to make the most sense. Anyone have any ideas? What do you mean by "abort"? If you do this in user mode, you kill the process, causing the kernel to shut down (close) all open file descriptors. 'sorwakeup' just wakes up those processes waiting for the receive side of the socket to get data. What are you trying to achieve? Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
