IMO, you can deal with low level socket and sk_buff, in kernel-space. I
don't know whether there is other way. If you want to notify the resume
process or do something like connecting to a server after resume, I
think you better write a small module to pass events to userspace (using
kernel-user space linker/connector) then let userspace programs do
whatever they want.
