The helper waiting for a listener port can match any socket whose hexadecimal representation of source or destination addresses matches that of the given port. Additionally, any socket state is accepted. All the above can let the helper return successfully before the relevant listener is actually ready, with unexpected results. So far I could not find any related failure in the netdev CI, but the next patch is going to make the critical event more easily reproducible. Address the issue matching the port hex only vs the relevant socket field and additionally checking the socket state for TCP sockets.
