Since (41063e9 ipv4: Early TCP socket demux), we can apply the owner
extension on the INPUT chain and match established TCP sockets.
However, because of the same commit, we can have skb->sk pointing to a
timewait socket, in which case accessing skb->sk->sk_socket is invalid.

This only works for established TCP sockets. Thus, this rule:

-A INPUT -m owner --socket-exists -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -m owner --socket-exists -j ACCEPT

are semantically different depending on the path.

Hi Pablo,

thanks for having a look at this patch.

True, in fact my idea is to enable early demultiplexing also for other 
kinds of sockets - as mentioned in the cover letter to this patch: 
http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=137786715327396&w=2.

Sorry, I should probably have made it clear that also this patch was 
part of the [RFC], since of course I didn't mean to have it applied now.
