Willem de Bruijn	ced68234b6	sock: remove zerocopy sockopt restriction on closed tcp state Socket option SO_ZEROCOPY determines whether the kernel ignores or processes flag MSG_ZEROCOPY on subsequent send calls. This to avoid changing behavior for legacy processes. Limiting the state change to closed sockets is annoying with passive sockets and not necessary for correctness. Once created, zerocopy skbs are processed based on their private state, not this socket flag. Remove the constraint. Signed-off-by: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

sock: remove zerocopy sockopt restriction on closed tcp state

Socket option SO_ZEROCOPY determines whether the kernel ignores or
processes flag MSG_ZEROCOPY on subsequent send calls. This to avoid
changing behavior for legacy processes.

Limiting the state change to closed sockets is annoying with passive
sockets and not necessary for correctness. Once created, zerocopy skbs
are processed based on their private state, not this socket flag.

Remove the constraint.

doc: document MSG_ZEROCOPY

Documentation for this feature was missing from the patchset.
Copied a lot from the netdev 2.1 paper, addressing some small
interface changes since then.

Changes
  v1 -> v2
    - change email discussion URL format
    - clarify that u32 counter is per-syscall, unsigned and
      wraps after UINT_MAX calls
    - describe errno on send failure specific to MSG_ZEROCOPY
    - a few very minor rewordings
