The most pressing problem fixed here is that spliced connections with
a remapped destination port would be attempted on the wrong side. This
is an old issue as indicated by the Fixes: tag.
Patch 1/3 restores sanity in comments before we attempt to fix the
issue, patch 2/3 fixes the actual issue, and patch 3/3 introduces
a minor rework on top to fix another issue, where if the user
explicitly configures a loopback address in a port binding we would
still create a non-spliced socket stealing the related connections.
Stefano Brivio (3):
tcp, tcp_splice: Adjust comments to current meaning of inbound and
outbound
tcp, tcp_splice: Fix port remapping for inbound, spliced connections
tcp: Don't create 'tap' socket for ports that are bound to loopback
only
