[PATCH bpf-next v3 2/8] bpf: allow helpers to return PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON

From: Lorenz Bauer <hidden>
Date: 2019-03-22 01:54:30
Also in: bpf
Subsystem: bpf [core], bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

It's currently not possible to access timewait or request sockets
from eBPF, since there is no way to return a PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON
from a helper. Introduce RET_PTR_TO_SOCK_COMMON to enable this
behaviour.
