Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] net: Drop size arg from ->sendmsg() and pass msghdr into __ip{,6}_append_data()
Hi Willem,
Here's another option to passing MSG_SPLICE_PAGES into sendmsg()[1] without
polluting the flags in msg->msg_flags. The idea here is to put the flag
into a new field in msghdr, msg_kflags, that holds internal kernel flags
that aren't available to userspace.
What I've done here is:
(1) Pass msg down to __ip_append_data() and __ip6_append_data() so that
they can access the extra flags.
(2) In order to avoid adding extra arguments to these functions and the
functions in their call chains (such as ip_make_skb()), remove the
size and flags arguments as these values are redundant if msg is
passed in.
(3) msg is then passed into getfrag(). I would like to get rid of the
"from" argument also in favour of using something in msghdr, but I'm
not sure how best to do that.
(4) The size parameter to ->sendmsg() seems to be redundant; indeed
sock_sendmsg() doesn't actually take it, but rather gets the count
from msg_iter - so remove this parameter.
kernel_sendmsg() will still take a size, but it sets it on the
iterator and then calls sock_sendmsg().
(5) Protocol sendmsg implementations then extract the length and the flags
from the iterator.
(6) Illustrate the addition of msg_kflags and MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. I think
that, at some point in the future, some of the other flags could be
moved from msg_flags to msg_kflags.
David
