Please don't assume that we are talking about labeled networking.
I want to implement TCPwrapper-like filtering (which is automatically linked to
all processes).

TCPwrapper accepts the packet before it decides to drop the connection.

The socket_post_accept() hook is not designed for modifying labels of a socket.
It is too late to modify because we have already accepted the packet.

+ * @socket_post_accept:
+ *	This hook allows a security module to filter connections from unwanted
+ *	peers based on the process accepting this connection.
+ *	The connection will be aborted if this hook returns nonzero.
+ *	This hook is not designed for updating security attributes of
+ *	an accept()ed socket, for the accept()ed socket has already sent
+ *	several packets (e.g. TCP's SYN/ACK packet and some ACK packets for
+ *	incoming data) before this hook is called.
+ *	@sock contains the listening socket structure.
+ *	@newsock contains the newly created server socket for connection.
+ *	Return 0 if permission is granted.
