I understand that the main use case for new helpers is XDP specific, but why limit them to XDP? The feature looks generic and applicable to skb too.
That sounds like an extra feature, rather than a limitation. That's out of scope of what I planned to do.
Besides, it sounds kind of useless to me, because the intention of the new helpers is to accelerate synproxy, and I doubt BPF over SKBs will accelerate anything. Maybe someone else has another use case for these helpers and SKBs - in that case I leave the opportunity to add this feature up to them.
