Re: [PATCH] ipv4, bpf: Introduced to support the ULP to modify sockets during setopt

[zhangmingyi]

We want to call `bpf_setsockopt` to replace the kernel module in the TCP_ULP case. The purpose is to customize the behavior in `connect` and `sendmsg`. We have an open-source community project kmesh (kmesh.net). Based on this, we refer to some processes of TCP Fast Open to implement delayed connect and perform HTTP DNAT when `sendmsg`.

I'll send a patch with a full description and test cases later.
