Remove the judgment on retval and pass bpf ctx by default. The
advantage of this is that it is more flexible. Bpf getsockopt can
support the new optname without using the module to call the
nf_register_sockopt to register.

What is in optval that is useful to copy from if the kernel didn't handle the optname?

For example, if the user customizes a new optname, it will not be processed if the kernel does not support it. Then the data stored in optval is the data put



by the user. If this part can be seen by bpf prog, the user can implement processing logic of the custom optname through bpf prog.

This part does not make sense. It is a (get)sockopt. Why the bpf prog should expect anything useful in the original __user optval? Other than unnecessary copy for other common cases, it looks like a bad api, so consider it a NAK.



and there is no selftest also.


Yes, if remove this restriction, everyone thinks it's ok, I'll add it in the next version.
