Sorry for delay in reply (I got flu unexpectedly). You know, it eventually
become uneasy to implement handling for sock-raw because they are special.
They described as ipproto-ip in net/ipv4/af_inet.c, so it matches any
protocol specified with the socket call. In turn inet-diag module handled
predefined protocols only, in particular IPPROTO_RAW in our case. Thus
to fecth some real protocol sitting in raw sockets hashes we need some
kind of additional argument passed in the request. I guess we may
use @idiag_ext field for this sake? Or require @idiag_ext to have
INET_DIAG_PROTOCOL bit set and then fetch real protocol from
additional attribute? Sounds ok?
