With the implementation of network ioctl on io_uring[1], Willem suggested[2] that the "struct proto" ioctls functions should be reused, instead of duplicating the code. For that, the ioctl callbacks need to be more flexible, and avoid operating on userspace buffers (doing get/put_user()) directly on the callbacks. This patch adds this flexibility, so, the io_uring plumbing becomes more clean, avoiding duplicating code. This may also benefit BPF. For that, a wrapper is created, which will copy from/to userspace, and the ioctl callback will rely on the wrapper to do userspace memory copies. I've tested this patch in three different ways: 1) Created a simple testcase for TCP/UDP [3] 2) Run relevant LTP tests, such as: sockioctl, setsockopt, bind, sendto, fanout, ns-udpsender, etc 3) Run basics network selftests PS: There are some `strcmp()` in the `sock_skprot_ioctl()`, that I was not able to find a better way to deal with it. Any feedback is appreciated.
