[PATCH net-next 0/6] ipv4,ipv6: convert the getsockopt switches to sockopt_t

From: Breno Leitao

Date: Fri Sep 25 2026 - 11:56:35 EST


This series continues the migration to sockopt_t, as described in [1].
do_ip_getsockopt() and do_ipv6_getsockopt() are the last two switches
still taking a sockptr_t pair, and everything they forward to now takes
a sockopt_t, so convert them both.

Patch 1 first rejects a negative optlen on ipv6, which do_ip_getsockopt()
already does. len is an int, but every consumer compares it unsigned, so
-1 reads as a huge value and each site clamps to its own reply size. The
conversion cannot carry that.

MCAST_MSFILTER has to move before the switches above it. It is the last
option with the quirk sockopt_expand_out() was added for [2]: optlen only
covers the fixed part, and the real reply size comes from the gf_numsrc
field inside it. Patches 2 and 3 convert it on both families.

Patches 4 and 5 convert the switches themselves. Each wrapper keeps its
__user prototype and builds the sockopt_t with sockopt_init_user(), so
the proto layer is untouched. Patch 6 grows the selftest an ip and an
ipv6 fixture, pinning the returned length and errno.
