这个问题在互联网上是asked before，但我找不到一个好的答案。为什么Linux内核具有`struct sock`和`struct socket`？
Linux内核网络栈设有两种结构：
struct socket，通常存储在变量sockstruct sock，通常存储在变量sk的两个结构主要与，但似乎有一点不同的一生。可以通过sock->sk找到sk，或通过sk->sk_socket找到sock。
为什么有两种结构来存储有关套接字的信息？假设我需要添加一个新字段，何时将它添加到struct socket以及什么时候struct sock？
UPDATE：请注意，我指的是在struct socket的include/linux/net.h Linux的源代码，这只是针对内核代码里面，不/usr/include/sys/socket.h这是为用户空间。
struct socket似乎是用于系统调用的更高级别的接口（这就是为什么它也具有指向代表文件描述符的struct file的原因）。
struct sock是一个内核中的用于实行插座AF_INET（也有struct unix_sock为AF_UNIX插座其衍生物的本），它可以通过两个内核和被用户空间被使用（通过struct sock）。
这两个都是在1993年被添加到Linux 1.0的，我怀疑你会找到一个指定初始设计决策的文档。
Okey，但为什么内核开发者不是直接在'struct socket'中直接在'struct sock'和'struct unix_sock'中包含所有字段？ – user1202136
@ user1202136：因为它与[分解]（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decomposition_（computer_science））相矛盾，这可以使事情变得更简单。另外请注意，'AF_INET'和'AF_UNIX'只有43中的2（参见'AF_MAX'）可用套接字类型。在创建低层实现结构之前，'struct socket'由'socket（）'创建。 – myaut
“这两个结构基本上是联系在一起的 - ”不确定你的意思。
我想你可以找到答案，如果查看源文件，这些结构：
socket -> linux-src/include/linux/net.h
sock -> linux-src/include/net/sock.h

这些结构的迪菲租用并具有不同的套接字抽象表示。
这里回答关于不同的套接字。
Unix vs BSD vs TCP vs Internet sockets?
哪里定义附加字段取决于你的意图。请描述你的任务。

* Alan Cox : Added a zapped field for tcp to note

* Alan Cox : Eliminate low level recv/recvfrom
* David S. Miller : New socket lookup architecture.
* Steve Whitehouse: Default routines for sock_ops
* Arnaldo C. Melo : removed net_pinfo, tp_pinfo and made
* protinfo be just a void pointer, as the

没有解释的复制粘贴源代码真的没有帮助。我没有具体的任务，只是想了解背后的逻辑。例如，为什么'struct sock'中的'sk_uid'而不是'struct socket'？ – user1202136
好：有一个内部和一个外面。 （类似的事情发生在struct stat中） – wildplasser
