Re: [PATCH bpf] bpf, sockmap, udp: sk_prot needs inuse_idx set for proc stats

Proc socket stats use sk_prot->inuse_idx value to record inuse sock stats.
We currently do not set this correctly from sockmap side. The result is
reading sock stats '/proc/net/sockstat' gives incorrect values. The
socket counter is incremented correctly, but because we don't set the
counter correctly when we replace sk_prot we may omit the decrement.

To get the correct inuse_idx value move the core_initcall that initializes
the udp proto handlers to late_initcall. This way it is initialized after
UDP has the chance to assign the inuse_idx value from the register protocol
handler.

Interesting. What about IPv6 module? Based on my understanding, it should
always be loaded before we can trigger udp_bpf_check_v6_needs_rebuild().
If so, your patch is complete.

Fixes: 5e21bb4e8125 ("bpf, test: fix NULL pointer dereference on invalid expected_attach_type")

Should be commit edc6741cc66059532ba621928e3f1b02a53a2f39
(bpf: Add sockmap hooks for UDP sockets), right?

Thanks.
