Where in the linux kernel does the closing of a socket's file descriptor occur? I know for a file, the file's file descriptor is closed in fs/open.cs function sys_close(). However, for a socket file descriptor, is this the same location or somewhere else?
Also, do sockets utilize the file.c alloc_fd to allocate the file descriptor or do they utilize some other function?
