net/handshake: Enable the SNI extension to work properly
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Enable the upper layer protocol to specify the SNI peername. This
avoids the need for tlshd to use a DNS lookup, which can return a
hostname that doesn't match the incoming certificate's SubjectName.

Fixes: 2fd5532 ("net/handshake: Add a kernel API for requesting a TLSv1.3 handshake")

has completed. Further explanation of this function is in the "Handshake
Completion" sesction below.

The consumer can provide a NUL-terminated hostname in the @ta_peername
field that is sent as part of ClientHello. If no peername is provided,
the DNS hostname associated with the server's IP address is used instead.

The consumer can fill in the @ta_timeout_ms field to force the servicing
handshake agent to exit after a number of milliseconds. This enables the
socket to be fully closed once both the kernel and the handshake agent
