Usage of sosend() and its context

[Julian Kornberger]

Hi,

I am building a kernel module for fastd [1] and have the problem, that 
on one of three machines the sosend() call seems to block. I use 
sosend() [2] in a tunneling function that is set by 
udp_set_kernel_tunneling().

Since I don't know which thread to pass to sosend() I just use 
curthread. Is it possible that I should not use sosend() in this context 
and instead build the IP packet manually and pass it to ip_output()? Any 
other hints?
