Socket bind failing with error -98

Hi experts,

I am facing a problem while binding to TCP socket using bind()
function,  the problem is see for kernel versions >= 4.4.

The bind() function is failing with error code -98.

Currently i am calling bind() through a kernel thread.

I searched similar errors and tried with 'setsockopt' with
'SO_REUSEADDR' and 'SO_REUSEPORT ' flags.

However, bind() still continues to fail with similar error.

Can you please suggest if there are any other ways to fix it or any
particular debugging we shall do to analyze it ?


Thanks,
Suraj
