Yes, I believe it will be easier we provide our implementation instead
of reviewing yours ;)

For example you had :

+       case TCP_SAVED_SYN:
+               if (!((1 << sk->sk_state) & TCPF_LISTEN))
+                       err = -EINVAL;
+               tp->saved_syn = !!(val);
+               break;


But if you return an error, tp->saved_syn should be left unchanged.
