sk->dead

Hi,

Could anybody tell me what the "dead" field (sk->dead)
in
     struct sock (include/net/sock.h)
is?

My understanding is that the "sk->dead" field is doing
nothing besides ensuring that the callback functions
don't get called ..

I am creating a sock structure from the IP layer, and
attempting to establish a connection with a remote
host (running regular TCP/IP) .. I was wondering if
setting sk->dead = 1
would stop the invocations of call-back functions,
without disrupting the data flow over the connection
..

Thanks,
Suvani.
