Not from guest (but I'm really considering bpf/XDP offload in the 
future, as you suggested in the pass, we probably need a new type other 
than socket filter), the main motivation is to implement vhost-net 
filtering. The idea is let qemu to attach eBPF socket filter to tun.

Right, if underprivileged bpf is disabled by the distribution, it would 
be hard (but still possible):

- Qemu will notify libvirt about rx filter changes of virtio-net
- Libvirt will reprogram the ebpf filter

I think you mean TUNATTACHFILTER here (and we could not assume the tun 
is only used by qemu). A quick glance does not give any idea on how to 
reuse it for eBPF or differ eBPF from cBPF.

Btw, there're other differences. TUNATTACHBPF attach the prog to tun 
which means it simplifies lots of things e.g persist devices or queue 
enabling/disabling.  But TUNATTACHFILTER attach the prog to socket.

Good point, so consider it was used by sk_filter too, we need to fix it 
anyway. Actually, I've considered the boolean return value but finally I 
decide to obey the style of sk filter. Maybe the trimming has real user. 
e.g high speed header recoding/analysis? Consider it's not hard to fix, 
how about just keep that?

Thanks
