Not the verdict program. The setup is as follows:

  client --> icept.1 -- (optionally ktls) --> icept.2 --> server

I'm trying to redirect on send from the client directly into the send
side of the ktls socket, to avoid waking up the icept.1 process
completely. The ktls enabled socket has no BPF programs associated.

No, the stack trace I observed is

  tcp_bpf_sendmsg_redir
    tcp_bpf_push_locked
      tcp_bpf_push
        kernel_sendpage_locked
          sock->ops->sendpage_locked

which never tries tls_sw_sendpage. Perhaps the relevant part is the
following in tcp_bpf_push?

                if (has_tx_ulp) {
                        flags |= MSG_SENDPAGE_NOPOLICY;
                        ret = kernel_sendpage_locked(sk,
                                                     page, off, size, flags);
                } else {
                        ret = do_tcp_sendpages(sk, page, off, size, flags);
                }

Good to know thanks. Then I won't spend too much time on this.

Same thing. Good to know I'm not crazy :)

To be clear, I don't mean to pressure at all. Was just running through
a variety of points in the option space. The sk_msg  plus redirect to
egress of a ktls-enabled socket is the variant I'm most interested in.

Do let me know if there's anything I can help out with. Thanks for
your quick answer!
