Curious if you've started looking into UDP support. I had hoped to do
it but haven't got there yet.

But looks pretty clean to me, only major change here is to add an extra
hook to remove psock from the child socket. And that looks fine to me and
cleaner than any other solution I had in mind.

Changes +/- looks good as well most the updates are in selftests to update
tests and add some new ones. +1

Ack on the series from me.
