  • Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
    net stack entry/exit operations.

    Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
    optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

    This takes into account comments made by:

    . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
    sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

    . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
    works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

    If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
    will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
    one) it has received so far.

    . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
    datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
    the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
    in the next call.

    This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
    where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
    every underlying recvmsg call.

  • This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
    level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
    checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
    each and every implementation.

    Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
    from Linus Torvalds.

  • From: Andrew Morton

    Move the forward decl outside the ifdef, since we use it in both legs.

    Should fix the spacr64 build error reported in

  • When we copy 32bit ->msg_control contents to kernel, we walk the same
    userland data twice without sanity checks on the second pass.

    Second version of this patch: the original broke with 64-bit arches
    running 32-bit-compat-mode executables doing sendmsg() syscalls with
    unaligned CMSG data areas

    Another thing is that we use kmalloc() to allocate and sock_kfree_s()
    to free afterwards; less serious, but also needs fixing.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
