Is the comment accurate?
The bpf_sk_lookup_kern ifindex is populated with inet_iif(skb).
Which is skb->skb_iif at this point (I think).
skb->dev->ifindex would typically mean destination or egress ifindex.
In __sk_buff we have 'ifindex' and 'ingress_ifindex' to differentiate them.
If it's really dev->ifindex than keeping 'ifindex' name here would be correct,
but looking at how it's populated in inet/udp_lookup makes me wonder
whether it should be named 'ingress_ifindex' instead and comment clarified.

If/when you resubmit please trim cc list to a minimum.
