After commit bf9765145b ("sock: Make sk_protocol a 16-bit value")
the current size of 'sdiag_protocol' is not sufficient to represent
the possible protocol values.
This change introduces a new inet diag request attribute to let
user space specify the relevant protocol number using u32 values.
The attribute is parsed by inet diag core on get/dump command
and the extended protocol value, if available, is preferred to
'sdiag_protocol' to lookup the diag handler.
The parse attributed are exposed to all the diag handlers via
the cb->data.
Note that inet_diag_dump_one_icsk() is left unmodified, as it
will not be used by protocol using the extended attribute.

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.
