In order to support this with netstat/ss that use netlink mechanism to
get the socket info, i think we need to extend tcp_info to add this field.
Can this be done in a backward compatible way?

What about using the same fields (rqueue/wqueue) as you did for /proc?

I meant extending tcp_info structure to add new fields. I think the user
space also uses this structure.

Thanks
