For addr: this field is not used, since buffer select is forced. But by forcing it to be zero it leaves open future uses of the field. len is actually usable, you could imagine that you want to receive multishot up to a certain length. However right now this is not how it is implemented, and it seems safer to force this to be zero.

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.
