Summary:
SO_DETACH_FILTER does not accept any parameter, but code in sock.c check for it.
Problem description:
Trying to remove attached filter i got EINVAL (and the filter was left
attached).
The code setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DETACH_FILTER, 0, 0) is correct,
but does work.
Looking in sock.c i have found that SO_DETACH_FILTER is set after checking
parameters of an option. It is not correct in this particular case
(it should be handled like SO_DONTLINGER).

The problem persists up to 2.4.0-test10.
Workaround:
int dummy;
setsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DETACH_FILTER, &dummy, sizeof(int));
