I'm not well versed with how routing works, sorry. Do you think being subject to the routing table is desirable, or is it an implementation trade-off? > > I think this is a general bpf_sk*_lookup_*() question, previous > discussion[0] settled on avoiding that complexity before a use case > arises, for both TC and XDP versions of these helpers; I still don't > have a specific use case in mind for such functionality.

I was surprised that both TC and XDP don't run the reuseport program! So far I assumed that TC did pass the skb. I understand that you don't want to tackle this issue, but is it possible to reject reuseport sockets from sk_assign in that case? -- Lorenz Bauer | Systems Engineer 6th Floor, County Hall/The Riverside Building, SE1 7PB, UK www.cloudflare.com
