Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] bpf: Allow IP_TRANSPARENT and IPV6_TRANSPARENT in bpf_{set,get}sockopt()
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 17:51:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731175141.284757-1-shivajikant@google.com> (raw)
Currently, bpf_setsockopt() and bpf_getsockopt() for SOL_IP and SOL_IPV6
only allow a small subset of socket options (such as IP_TOS,
IPV6_TCLASS, and IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL). Calling bpf_setsockopt() with
IP_TRANSPARENT or IPV6_TRANSPARENT fails with -EINVAL.
Transparent proxying (TPROXY) and related networking components often
rely on IP_TRANSPARENT and IPV6_TRANSPARENT to enable binding sockets
to non-local IP addresses.
Allow IP_TRANSPARENT for SOL_IP in sol_ip_sockopt() and
IPV6_TRANSPARENT for SOL_IPV6 in sol_ipv6_sockopt().
