Okay, I have a test program for AF_KCM that builds and works up to a point. However, it doesn't seem to work for two reasons: (1) When it clones a socket with SIOCKCMCLONE, it doesn't set the LSM context on the new socket. This results in EACCES if, say, SELinux is enforcing. ioctl(8, SIOCPROTOPRIVATE, 0x7ffe17cc3b24) = 0 ioctl(9, SIOCPROTOPRIVATE, 0x7ffe17cc3b24) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) from the SIOCKCMATTACH ioctl, so this won't work on a number of Linux distributions, such as Fedora and RHEL. (2) Assuming SELinux is set to non-enforcing mode, it then fails when trying to attach the cloned KCM socket to the TCP socket: ioctl(8, SIOCPROTOPRIVATE, 0x7ffddfb64f84) = 0 ioctl(9, SIOCPROTOPRIVATE, 0x7ffddfb64f84) = -1 EALREADY (Operation already in progress) again from the SIOCKCMATTACH ioctl. This seems to be because the TCP socket (csock in kcm_attach() in the kernel) has already got sk_user_data set from the first ioctl on fd 8: if (csk->sk_user_data) { write_unlock_bh(&csk->sk_callback_lock); kmem_cache_free(kcm_psockp, psock); err = -EALREADY; goto out; } Now, this could be a bug in the test program. Since both fds 8 and 9 should correspond to the same multiplexor, presumably the TCP socket only needs attaching once (note that the TCP socket is obtained from accept() in this case).
