In the simple case, each sendmsg() call generates data and eventually a zerocopy ready notification N, where N indicates the Nth successful invocation of sendmsg() with the MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on this socket. TCP and corked sockets can cause send() calls to append new data to an existing sk_buff and, thus, ubuf_info. In that case the notification must hold a range. odify ubuf_info to store a inclusive range [N..N+m] and add skb_zerocopy_realloc() to optionally extend an existing range. Also coalesce notifications in this common case: if a notification [1, 1] is about to be queued while [0, 0] is the queue tail, just modify the head of the queue to read [0, 1]. Coalescing is limited to a few TSO frames worth of data to bound notification latency. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
