Wrt return value, afaik SOCK_FILTER_LOCKED cannot be set for tun devs, so we
should be okay.

In tun case, the control path for tun_attach_filter() and tun_detach_filter()
is under RTNL lock (held in __tun_chr_ioctl()).

So in the BPF core the rcu_dereference_protected(<sk_filter>, sock_owned_by_user(sk))
looks like a false positive in this specific use case to me, that we should probably
just silence.

Running the filter via sk_filter() in tun device happens under rcu_read_lock(),
so the dereference and assignment pair seems okay to me.

Was wondering whether we should convert this to unattached BPF filter, but this
would break with existing expectations from sk_filter() (e.g. security modules).
