[PATCH v3 4/7] net/tcp: Allow removing current/rnext TCP-AO keys on TCP_LISTEN sockets

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Tue Nov 28 2023 - 15:58:12 EST


TCP_LISTEN sockets are not connected to any peer, so having
current_key/rnext_key doesn't make sense.

The userspace may falter over this issue by setting current or rnext
TCP-AO key before listen() syscall. setsockopt(TCP_AO_DEL_KEY) doesn't
allow removing a key that is in use (in accordance to RFC 5925), so
it might be inconvenient to have keys that can be destroyed only with
listener socket.

Fixes: 4954f17ddefc ("net/tcp: Introduce TCP_AO setsockopt()s")
