This implements a new helper skb_adjust_room() so users can push/pop extra bytes from a BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT program. Some protocols may include headers and other information that we may not want to include when doing a redirect from a BPF_SK_SKB_STREAM_VERDICT program. One use case is to redirect TLS packets into a receive socket that doesn't expect TLS data. In TLS case the first 13B or so contain the protocol header. With KTLS the payload is decrypted so we should be able to redirect this to a receiving socket, but the receiving socket may not be expecting to receive a TLS header and discard the data. Using the above helper we can pop the header off and put an appropriate header on the payload. This allows for creating a proxy between protocols without extra hops through the stack or userspace. So in order to fix this case add skb_adjust_room() so users can strip the header. After this the user can strip the header and an unmodified receiver thread will work correctly when data is redirected into the ingress path of a sock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
