David S. Miller 7cb164ef5b Merge branch 'net-SO_COOKIE'
Chenbo Feng says:

====================
New getsockopt option to retrieve socket cookie

In the current kernel socket cookie implementation, there is no simple
and direct way to retrieve the socket cookie based on file descriptor. A
process mat need to get it from sock fd if it want to correlate with
sock_diag output or use a bpf map with new socket cookie function.

If userspace wants to receive the socket cookie for a given socket fd,
it must send a SOCK_DIAG_BY_FAMILY dump request and look for the 5-tuple.
This is slow and can be ambiguous in the case of sockets that have the
same 5-tuple (e.g., tproxy / transparent sockets, SO_REUSEPORT sockets,
etc.).

As shown in the example program. The xt_eBPF program is using socket cookie
to record the network traffics statistics and with the socket cookie
retrieved by getsockopt. The program can directly access to a specific
socket data without scanning the whole bpf map.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
