Yes. I just find it in unsupported_ops[].

getsockopt(TCP_CC_INFO) also calls .get_info although it bounds the max size of

info as sizoef(union_tcp_cc_info), so userspace can check the value of returned optlen.

So I will start by adding a dummy struct_ops for testing purpose, because it will

be much simpler and leaving adding support for .get_info for bpf-tcp-cc as another

patch.

I cannot apply it cleanly if using "git am --reject xx.patch", and it's OK if

using "git cherry-pick commit_id", so I will rebase and repost it.
