I am certain of it, having augmented ipt_LOG/xt_LOGMARK temporarily by appropriate printks. >In this case, you might need to use sock_i_uid() / sock_i_ino() as a >fallback ? (expensive because they take a rwlock) No, sock_i_uid also uses sk->sk_socket. What is interesting though is that sock_i_uid uses SOCK_INODE(sk->sk_socket)->i_uid, but xt_owner uses sk->sk_socket->file->f_cred->fsuid. Would you have an idea as to why that is?
