There is no local_id in RFC5925, what's that?
An MKT is identified by (send_id, recv_id), together with
(src_addr/src_port, dst_addr/dst_port).
Why introducing something new to already complicated RFC?

This is unaligned and will add padding.
I wonder if it's also worth saving some bytes by something like
struct tcp_ao_key *key;

With
struct tcp_ao_key {
      u8 keylen;
      u8 key[0];
};

Hmm?

Ditto, adds padding on 64-bit.

RFC2385 is md5 one.
Also, should there be TCP_AUTHOPT_ADD_KEY, TCP_AUTHOPT_DELTE_KEY
instead of using flags inside setsocketopt()? (no hard feelings)

I'm not sure what's the use of enum here, probably:
#define TCP_AUTHOPT_FLAG_REJECT_UNEXPECTED BIT(2)

It'll be an ABI if this is accepted. As it is - it can't support RFC5925 fully.
Extending syscall ABI is painful. I think, even the initial ABI *must* support
all possible features of the RFC.
In other words, there must be src_addr, src_port, dst_addr and dst_port.
I can see from docs you've written you don't want to support a mix of different
addr/port MKTs, so you can return -EINVAL or -ENOTSUPP for any value
but zero.
This will create an ABI that can be later extended to fully support RFC.

The same is about key: I don't think you need to define/use tcp_authopt_alg.
Just use algo name - that way TCP-AO will automatically be able to use
any algo supported by crypto engine.
See how xfrm does it, e.g.:
struct xfrm_algo_auth {
    char        alg_name[64];
    unsigned int    alg_key_len;    /* in bits */
    unsigned int    alg_trunc_len;  /* in bits */
    char        alg_key[0];
};

So you can let a user chose maclen instead of hard-coding it.
Much more extendable than what you propose.

I'm pretty sure it's not a good choice to write partly tcp_authopt.
And a user has no way to check what's the correct len on this kernel.
Instead of len = min_t(unsigned int, len, sizeof(info)), it should be
if (len != sizeof(info))
    return -EINVAL;

it's 4 bytes, why not just (optlen != sizeof(opt))?

Again, not a good practice to zero-extend struct. Enforce proper size
with -EINVAL.

Probably, can be in the reverse order, so that
__tcp_authopt_info_get_or_create()
won't allocate memory.

1. You don't need sock_kmalloc() together with tcp_authopt_key_del().
    It just frees the memory and allocates it back straight away - no
sense in doing that.
2. I think RFC says you must not allow a user to change an existing key:
> MKT parameters are not changed. Instead, new MKTs can be installed, and a connection
> can change which MKT it uses.

IIUC, it means that one can't just change an existing MKT, but one can
remove and later
add MKT with the same (send_id, recv_id, src_addr/port, dst_addr/port).

So, a reasonable thing to do:
if (key_info)
    return -EEXIST.

Thanks,
