security_ine..._established(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ security_ine..._established(9) ✨

okay bestie, buckle up — this one's from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the title is security_ine..._established (yes the title itself got truncated by the man page gods, we don't question it 💅).

Short version: something established a connection, and the LSM state on a socket needs to catch up. That's it. That's the whole vibe. But we're gonna do it properly, so let's go 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

security_inet_conn_established — update the sock's LSM state with the connection, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void security_inet_conn_established (struct sock *sk , struct sk_buff
*skb );

literally that's the whole signature, she's tiny, she's iconic, she does one thing 🔥

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sk — the sock. the main character here, the one whose state is getting updated 💖
  • skb — the connection packet. this is the packet that the new connection came from ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here's what's going down: this updates the sock's LSM state so it represents a new connection coming from skb. that's the whole job. it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy honestly 👑

no return value, it's a void — she doesn't report back, she just does the thing 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

first up, the kernel file where all this lives: ./security/security.c

then... okay so. there are a lot of friends in this cinematic universe. i'm not gonna gatekeep a single one of them, so here's the entire guest list in order, lsm_file_alloc(9) through security_initramfs_populated(9) — go read them all if you want the full lore, iykyk 💫

like i said. the whole universe. that's the list, bestie, every single one of them, nothing skipped 💅

tiny reminder: this page doesn't document a return value, an error, a signal or an exit status, because there aren't any — it's a void function. don't come for me, come for the header file 😭

okay that's the whole page!! this one's from the ./security source, dated October 2026, and the man page tag is security_ine..._established(9) 💖 go forth and keep those LSM states fresh, queen 🌈👑
