This commit adds support to add and remove keys but does not use them
further.

Similar to tcp md5 a single pointer to a struct tcp_authopt_info* struct
is added to struct tcp_sock, this avoids increasing memory usage. The
data structures related to tcp_authopt are initialized on setsockopt and
only freed on socket close.


Thanks Leonard.

Small points from my side, please find them attached.

RCU rules at deletion mandate that the pointer must be cleared before
the call_rcu()/kfree_rcu() call.

It is possible that current MD5 code has an issue here, let's not copy/paste it.

OK. Is there a need for some special form of assignment or is current
plain form enough?

It is the right way (when clearing the pointer), no need for another form.

OK

Always surprising to see this kind of generic helper being added in a patch.

I remember looking for an equivalent and not finding it. Many places
have distinct code paths for ipv4 and ipv6 and my use of
"sockaddr_storage" as ipv4/ipv6 union is uncommon.

inetpeer_addr_cmp() might do it (and we also could fix a bug in it it
seems, at least for __tcp_get_metrics() usage :/

That uses a different `struct inetpeer_addr` which also has some extra "vif" fields for ipv4 that I don't know about.

Everybody seems to be rolling their own ipv4/v6 union, other examples are `struct tcp_md5_addr` and `xfrm_address_t`. struct sockaddr_storage is "more standard" but also larger so maybe that's why others don't use it.

+int tcp_get_authopt_val(struct sock *sk, struct tcp_authopt *opt)
+{
+       struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk);
+       struct tcp_authopt_info *info;
+
+       memset(opt, 0, sizeof(*opt));
+       sock_owned_by_me(sk);
+
+       info = rcu_dereference_check(tp->authopt_info, lockdep_sock_is_held(sk));

Probably not a big deal, but it seems the prior sock_owned_by_me()
might be redundant.

The sock_owned_by_me call checks checks lockdep_sock_is_held

The rcu_dereference_check call checks lockdep_sock_is_held ||
rcu_read_lock_held()

Then if you own the socket lock, no need for rcu_dereference_check()

It could be instead an rcu_dereference_protected(). This is stronger, because
if your thread no longer owns the socket lock, but is inside
rcu_read_lock(), we would
still get a proper lockdep splat.

Ok, I think there are several places where rcu_dereference_check is incorrectly used instead of rcu_dereference_protected.
