Don't send it kernel addresses fed under > set_fs(KERNEL_DS) as that won't work. What sort of operations is the bpf filter doing on the sockopt buffers? Any attempts to reject some requests can be thwarted by a second application thread modifying the buffer after the bpf filter has checked that it allowed. You can't do security by reading a user buffer twice. David - Registered Address Lakeside, Bramley Road, Mount Farm, Milton Keynes, MK1 1PT, UK Registration No: 1397386 (Wales)
