Subject: setsockopt -  SO_REUSEADDR

Hi all,

I am creating a socket in kernel. It is able to bind. But after abnormal
termination of the module, I am not able to bind the socket once again. 
Here i use

.......................................................................
/* create a socket */
if ((err = sock_create(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP, &sock)) < 0) {
    printk(KERN_INFO MODULE_NAME": Could not create a datagram socket, 
error = %d\n", -ENXIO);
    return;
}

if((err = sock->ops->setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 
(void*)&option, sizeof(option)))<0)
             printk(KERN_INFO MODULE_NAME": Error in set socket opt for 
SO_REUSEADDR \n");

memset(&addr, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
addr.sin_port = htons(7006);

if ((err = sock->ops->bind(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(struct 
sockaddr)))< 0)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO MODULE_NAME": Could not bind to socket, error = 
%d\n", -err);
    goto close_and_out;
}
 printk(KERN_INFO MODULE_NAME": listening on port %d\n", 7006);
...................................................................

It throwing the following error
    Error in set socket opt for SO_REUSEADDR
    Could not bind to socket, error = 98


Can you tell me what i am missing. Just I want to reuse the bind same 
address once again in the
same port.


Thanks.
Chinmaya
