[PATCH v2] tcp: probe for SO_PEEK_OFF both in tcpv4 and tcp6 - dev

23 Jul 2024

From: Jon Maloy &lt;jmaloy(a)redhat.com&gt;

Based on an original patch by Jon Maloy:

--
The recently added socket option SO_PEEK_OFF is not supported for
TCP/IPv6 sockets. Until we get that support into the kernel we need to
test for support in both protocols to set the global 'peek_offset_cap´
to true.
--

Compared to the original patch:
- only check for SO_PEEK_OFF support for enabled IP versions
- use sa_family_t instead of int to pass the address family around

Fixes: e63d281871ef ("tcp: leverage support of SO_PEEK_OFF socket option when
available")
