Without that it's not safe to use them in a linked combination with others. Now combinations like IORING_OP_SENDMSG followed by IORING_OP_SPLICE should be possible. We already handle short reads and writes for the following opcodes: - IORING_OP_READV - IORING_OP_READ_FIXED - IORING_OP_READ - IORING_OP_WRITEV - IORING_OP_WRITE_FIXED - IORING_OP_WRITE - IORING_OP_SPLICE - IORING_OP_TEE Now we have it for these as well: - IORING_OP_SENDMSG - IORING_OP_SEND - IORING_OP_RECVMSG - IORING_OP_RECV For IORING_OP_RECVMSG we also check for the MSG_TRUNC and MSG_CTRUNC flags in order to call req_set_fail_links(). There might be applications arround depending on the behavior that even short send[msg]()/recv[msg]() retuns continue an IOSQE_IO_LINK chain. It's very unlikely that such applications pass in MSG_WAITALL, which is only defined in 'man 2 recvmsg', but not in 'man 2 sendmsg'. It's expected that the low level sock_sendmsg() call just ignores MSG_WAITALL, as MSG_ZEROCOPY is also ignored without explicitly set SO_ZEROCOPY. We also expect the caller to know about the implicit truncation to MAX_RW_COUNT, which we don't detect. cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c4e1a4cc0d905314f4d5dc567e65a7b09621aab3.1615908477.git.metze@samba.org Signed-off-by: Stefan Metzmacher <metze@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
