[PATCH net-next v04 1/3] af_packet: allow fanout_add when socket is not RUNNING

From: Gur Stavi
Date: Sun Oct 13 2024 - 03:17:54 EST


PACKET socket can retain its fanout membership through link down and up
and leave a fanout while closed regardless of link state.
However, socket was forbidden from joining a fanout while it was not
RUNNING.

This patch allows PACKET socket to join fanout while not RUNNING.

Socket can be RUNNING if it has a specified protocol. Either directly
from packet_create (being implicitly bound to any interface) or following
a successful bind. Socket RUNNING state is switched off if it is bound to
an interface that went down.

Instead of the test for RUNNING, this patch adds a test that socket can
become RUNNING.
