Hello.
Thank you very much for your time, Paul.
Yes, you understood what I wanted to do.
TOMOYO Linux's approach:
(1) It uses userspace intervention to allow/reject
connections and/or packets based on the application's domain.
Since existent hooks can't be used for this purpose,
I inserted a new hook post_recv_datagram() at skb_recv_datagram()
and I modified socket_post_accept() to return error so that
I can drop/disconnect based on the application's domain.
I think skb_recv_datagram() is the only place that can remove
a message picked up with MSG_PEEK flags from the receive queue.
To remove a message picked up with MSG_PEEK flags, I noticed that
I have to do skb_kill_datagram()-like operation so that
"the head message that must not be delivered to the caller" won't prevent
picking up of "the non-head message that should be delivered to the caller"
when the caller repeats only recv(MSG_PEEK) requests.
Since skb_recv_datagram() can be called from interrupt context,
I have to use spin_lock_irqsave() instead for spin_lock_bh(), am I right?
/* from net/core/datagram.c */

if (skb)
return skb;
By the way, why can't socket_post_accept() fail?
Someone may wish to do memory allocation at socket_post_accept().
socket_accept() is too early for memory allocation because
there is no chance to free allocated memory
when sock->ops->accept() failed.
I think socket_post_accept() should be able to fail.
(2) It allows the administrator judge interactively
using a userspace agent.
Thus, the new hook has to be inserted at blockable location,
Since skb_recv_datagram() can be called from interrupt context,
I do nothing in post_recv_datagram() if called from interrupt context.
+static int tmy_post_recv_datagram(struct sock *sk,
+ struct sk_buff *skb,
+ unsigned int flags)
+{
+ int error = 0;
+ const unsigned int type = sk->sk_type;
+
+ /* skb_recv_datagram() didn't dequeue. */
+ if (!skb)
+ return 0;
+
+ /* skb_recv_datagram() can be called from interrupt context. */
+ if (in_interrupt())
+ return 0;
+ /* I don't check if called by kernel process. */
+ if (segment_eq(get_fs(), KERNEL_DS))
+ return 0;
+
+ if (type != SOCK_DGRAM && type != SOCK_RAW)
+ return 0;
...(sniped)...
+}
Regards.
