PID of process that owns TCP Socket

[Vishwas Raman <vishwas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all:

This is what I would like to do: I have written a module that intercepts 
all incoming and outgoing TCP packets using the netfiltering hooks 
provided by the networking stack. Is there some way of getting at the 
PID of the process that owns the socket from the TCP packets (sk_buff 
structures) that I intercept? I know I can get to the INET socket 
structure (struct sk) and hence its corresponding BSD socket (struct 
socket), but how do I get to the process pid from there?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Vishwas
