I tried, however net/request_sock.h does not include net/tcp.h and
after trying to include it I got lots of errors. So I thought that
request_sock is not supposed to know anything about TCP. If I'm
wrong than what would be the best way to reference this constant?
Should I just redefine it in net/request_sock.h?
