Original TLS implementation was handling one record at a time. It stashed the type of the record inside tls context (per socket structure) for convenience. When async crypto support was added [1] the author had to use skb->cb to store the type per-message. The use of skb->cb overlaps with strparser, however, so a hybrid approach was taken where type is stored in context while parsing (since we parse a message at a time) but once parsed its copied to skb->cb. Recently a workaround for sockmaps [2] exposed the previously private struct _strp_msg and started a trend of adding user fields directly in strparser's header. This is cleaner than storing information about an skb in the context. This change is not strictly necessary, but IMHO the ownership of the context field is confusing. Information naturally belongs to the skb.

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.
