Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 2 potential issue(s) to consider:

New issues:
- [Low] Multi-line comments added in the patch violate the BPF subsystem comment style.

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] Missing socket lock in sk_psock_skb_ingress() for cross-socket redirects causes sk_forward_alloc corruption.

bpf, sockmap: settle sk_forward_alloc for strparser SK_PASS

This commit addresses sk_forward_alloc deficits caused by strparser SK_PASS
queuing cloned skbs back to the same socket. It settles any deficit before
assigning receive ownership to unowned self-pass skbs.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but does this cross-socket redirect path modify
sk_forward_alloc without holding the socket lock?

When called asynchronously from the backlog workqueue:
sk_psock_backlog() -> sk_psock_handle_skb() -> sk_psock_skb_ingress()

If the skb is redirected to a different socket (where skb->sk does not match
the destination sk), it bypasses the self_backlog path which properly holds
lock_sock(sk). It then proceeds to call sk_psock_create_ingress_msg() and
skb_set_owner_r() without the target socket's lock. Since sk_forward_alloc
is updated via non-atomic operations, could concurrent updates to the target
socket corrupt sk_forward_alloc and cause page_counter underflows?

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but does this comment format follow the BPF subsystem
style?

The BPF subsystem uses the modern kernel multi-line comment style, which
requires the opening /* to be on its own line.

[ ... ]
> +	/* This is used in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser() to determine whether the
> +	 * data originates from the socket's own protocol stack. No need to
> +	 * refcount sk because msg's lifetime is bound to sk via the ingress_msg.
> +	 */
> +	msg->sk = sk;

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but should this multi-line comment also have its opening
/* on a separate line to match the subsystem conventions?

> +	msg->sk = sk;

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug, but is the opening /* on the same line missing the BPF
comment style requirement here as well?
