Subject: tcp: use IPCB instead of TCP_SKB_CB in inet_exact_dif_match()
From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Usptream commit b4d1605a8ea608fd7dc45b926a05d75d340bde4b ]
After this fix : ("tcp: add tcp_v4_fill_cb()/tcp_v4_restore_cb()"),
socket lookups happen while skb->cb[] has not been mangled yet by TCP.
Fixes: a04a480d4392 ("net: Require exact match for TCP socket lookups if dif is l3mdev")
