This change allows an extended address struct - struct sockaddr_mctp_ext - to be passed to sendmsg/recvmsg. This allows userspace to specify output ifindex and physical address information (for sendmsg) or receive the input ifindex/physaddr for incoming messages (for recvmsg). This is typically used by userspace for MCTP address discovery and assignment operations. The extended addressing facility is conditional on a new sockopt: MCTP_OPT_ADDR_EXT; userspace must explicitly enable addressing before the kernel will consume/populate the extended address data.

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.
