net: restrict SO_REUSEPORT to inet sockets

CVE-2024-57903

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: restrict SO_REUSEPORT to inet sockets

After blamed commit, crypto sockets could accidentally be destroyed from RCU call back, as spotted by zyzbot [1].

Trying to acquire a mutex in RCU callback is not allowed.

Restrict SO_REUSEPORT socket option to inet sockets.

v1 of this patch supported TCP, UDP and SCTP sockets, but fcnal-test.sh test needed RAW and ICMP support.
