From: Martin KaFai Lau <martin.lau@xxxxxxxxxx> A latter patch refactors bpf_getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) with the sock_getsockopt() to avoid code duplication and code drift between the two duplicates. The current sock_getsockopt() takes sock ptr as the argument. The very first thing of this function is to get back the sk ptr by 'sk = sock->sk'. bpf_getsockopt() could be called when the sk does not have the sock ptr created. Meaning sk->sk_socket is NULL. For example, when a passive tcp connection has just been established but has yet been accept()-ed. Thus, it cannot use the sock_getsockopt(sk->sk_socket) or else it will pass a NULL ptr. This patch moves all sock_getsockopt implementation to the newly added sk_getsockopt(). The new sk_getsockopt() takes a sk ptr and immediately gets the sock ptr by 'sock = sk->sk_socket' The existing sock_getsockopt(sock) is changed to call sk_getsockopt(sock->sk). All existing callers have both sock->sk and sk->sk_socket pointer. The latter patch will make bpf_getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) call sk_getsockopt(sk) directly. The bpf_getsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) does not use the optnames that require sk->sk_socket, so it will be safe.
