You are right, I missed the SK_PASS case of skb stream verdict.

What I tested was to use msg_verdict to redirect between two sockets
without stream parser, and the problem I encountered is that msg has
been queued in psock->ingress_msg, and the application has been woken up
by epoll (because of sk_psock_data_ready), but the ioctl(FIONREAD) returns 0.

The key is that the rcv_nxt is not updated on ingress redirect, or we only need
to update rcv_nxt on ingress redirect, such as in bpf_tcp_ingress() and
sk_psock_skb_ingress_enqueue() ?
