Add a new helper "struct bpf_sock *bpf_get_listener_sock(struct bpf_sock *sk)"
which returns a bpf_sock in TCP_LISTEN state. It will trace back to
the listener sk from a request_sock if possible. It returns NULL
for all other cases.
No reference is taken because the helper ensures the sk is
in SOCK_RCU_FREE (where the TCP_LISTEN sock should be in).
Hence, bpf_sk_release() is unnecessary and the verifier does not
allow bpf_sk_release(listen_sk) to be called either.
The following is also allowed because the bpf_prog is run under
rcu_read_lock():
sk = bpf_sk_lookup_tcp();
/* if (!sk) { ... } */
listen_sk = bpf_get_listener_sock(sk);
/* if (!listen_sk) { ... } */
bpf_sk_release(sk);
src_port = listen_sk->src_port; /* Allowed */

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.
