Android VpnService如何保护fd工作？

Question

根据https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/VpnService.html#protect(int）

保护套接字免受VPN连接后，通过此套接字发送的数据将直接进入底层网络，因此其流量不会通过VPN转发。 如果某些连接需要保留在VPN之外，则此方法很有用。 例如，如果VPN路由覆盖其目的地，则VPN隧道应该自我保护。 否则，其传出的数据包将被发送回VPN接口并导致无限循环。 如果应用程序未准备好或已撤销，则此方法将失败。

我知道Android是建立在Linux之上的，这个函数背后使用了什么Linux机制或工具，只是通过这个套接字发送数据绕过VPN，但所有其他的都通过VPN？

简而言之，Android VPNService通过策略路由保护fd工作，所有通过protected fd数据包都会标记一个特殊的fwmark ，所有带有这个fwmark数据包都会绕过VPN。

关键代码段如下所示：

// android/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/VpnService.java

 /**
     * Protect a socket from VPN connections. After protecting, data sent
     * through this socket will go directly to the underlying network,
     * so its traffic will not be forwarded through the VPN.
     * This method is useful if some connections need to be kept
     * outside of VPN. For example, a VPN tunnel should protect itself if its
     * destination is covered by VPN routes. Otherwise its outgoing packets
     * will be sent back to the VPN interface and cause an infinite loop. This
     * method will fail if the application is not prepared or is revoked.
     *
     * <p class="note">The socket is NOT closed by this method.
     *
     * @return {@code true} on success.
     */
    public boolean protect(int socket) {
        return NetworkUtils.protectFromVpn(socket);
    }


// android/frameworks/base/core/java/android/net/VpnService.java

    /**
     * Protect {@code fd} from VPN connections.  After protecting, data sent through
     * this socket will go directly to the underlying network, so its traffic will not be
     * forwarded through the VPN.
     */
    public static boolean protectFromVpn(FileDescriptor fd) {
        return protectFromVpn(fd.getInt$());
    }

// android/system/netd/server/FwmarkServer.cpp

    fwmark.permission = permission;

    if (setsockopt(*socketFd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_MARK, &fwmark.intValue,
                   sizeof(fwmark.intValue)) == -1) {
        return -errno;
    }


// android/system/netd/include/Fwmark.h 

union Fwmark {
    uint32_t intValue;
    struct {
        unsigned netId          : 16;
        bool explicitlySelected :  1;
        bool protectedFromVpn   :  1;
        Permission permission   :  2;
    };
    Fwmark() : intValue(0) {}
};

static const unsigned FWMARK_NET_ID_MASK = 0xffff;

在打开VPN服务的应用程序之后的路由策略示例：
