    net: filter: let unattached filters use sock_fprog_kern · b1fcd35c

    The sk_unattached_filter_create() API is used by BPF filters that
    are not directly attached or related to sockets, and are used in
    team, ptp, xt_bpf, cls_bpf, etc. As such all users do their own
    internal managment of obtaining filter blocks and thus already
    have them in kernel memory and set up before calling into
    sk_unattached_filter_create(). As a result, due to __user annotation
    in sock_fprog, sparse triggers false positives (incorrect type in
    assignment [different address space]) when filters are set up before
    passing them to sk_unattached_filter_create(). Therefore, let
    sk_unattached_filter_create() API use sock_fprog_kern to overcome
    this issue.
