====================
After being able to add metadata to messages with sk_msg_push_data we
have also found it useful to be able to "pop" this metadata off before
sending it to applications in some cases. This series adds a new helper
sk_msg_pop_data() and the associated patches to add tests and tools/lib
support.
Thanks!
v2: Daniel caught that we missed adding sk_msg_pop_data to the changes
data helper so that the verifier ensures BPF programs revalidate
data after using this helper. Also improve documentation adding a
return description and using RST syntax per Quentin's comment. And
delta calculations for DROP with pop'd data (albeit a strange set
of operations for a program to be doing) had potential to be
incorrect possibly confusing user space applications, so fix it.

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.
