A latter patch refactors bpf_setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) with the sock_setsockopt() to avoid code duplication and code drift between the two duplicates. The current sock_setsockopt() takes sock ptr as the argument. The very first thing of this function is to get back the sk ptr by 'sk = sock->sk'. bpf_setsockopt() could be called when the sk does not have the sock ptr created. Meaning sk->sk_socket is NULL. For example, when a passive tcp connection has just been established but has yet been accept()-ed. Thus, it cannot use the sock_setsockopt(sk->sk_socket) or else it will pass a NULL ptr. This patch moves all sock_setsockopt implementation to the newly added sk_setsockopt(). The new sk_setsockopt() takes a sk ptr and immediately gets the sock ptr by 'sock = sk->sk_socket' The existing sock_setsockopt(sock) is changed to call sk_setsockopt(sock->sk). All existing callers have both sock->sk and sk->sk_socket pointer. The latter patch will make bpf_setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) call sk_setsockopt(sk) directly. The bpf_setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET) does not use the optnames that require sk->sk_socket, so it will be safe.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
