Acquiring - * this lock grants the owner exclusive access to the fields of the socket - * data structures, with the exception of the backlog queue. A few socket - * operations can be done without taking the socket lock because they only - * read socket information that never changes during the life of the socket. - * - * Socket operations may acquire the lock for the associated TIPC port if they - * need to perform an operation on the port.
