Here are patches to do the following: (1) Block MSG_SENDPAGE_* flags from leaking into ->sendmsg() from userspace, whilst allowing splice_to_socket() to pass them in. (2) Allow MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to be passed into tls_*_sendmsg(). Until support is added, it will be ignored and a splice-driven sendmsg() will be treated like a normal sendmsg(). TCP, UDP, AF_UNIX and Chelsio-TLS already handle the flag in net-next. (3) Replace a chain of functions to splice-to-sendpage with a single function to splice via sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. This allows a bunch of pages to be spliced from a pipe in a single call using a bio_vec[] and pushes the main processing loop down into the bowels of the protocol driver rather than repeatedly calling in with a page at a time. (4) Provide a ->splice_eof() op[2] that allows splice to signal to its output that the input observed a premature EOF and that the caller didn't flag SPLICE_F_MORE, thereby allowing a corked socket to be flushed. This attempts to maintain the current behaviour. It is also not called if we didn't manage to read any data and so didn't called the actor function. This needs routing though several layers to get it down to the network protocol. [!] Note that I chose not to pass in any flags - I'm not sure it's particularly useful to pass in the splice flags; I also elected not to return any error code - though we might actually want to do that. (5) Provide tls_{device,sw}_splice_eof() to flush a pending TLS record if there is one. (6) Provide splice_eof() for UDP, TCP, Chelsio-TLS and AF_KCM. AF_UNIX doesn't seem to pay attention to the MSG_MORE or MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flags. (7) Alter the behaviour of sendfile() and fix SPLICE_F_MORE/MSG_MORE signalling[1] such SPLICE_F_MORE is always signalled until we have read sufficient data to finish the request. If we get a zero-length before we've managed to splice sufficient data, we now leave the socket expecting more data and leave it to userspace to deal with it. (8) Make AF_TLS handle the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg flag. MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is an internal hint that tells the protocol that it should splice the pages supplied if it can. Its sendpage implementations are then turned into wrappers around that. I've pushed the patches here also: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=sendpage-2-tls David Changes ======= ver #5) - In splice_to_socket(), preclear ret in case len == 0. - Provide ->splice_eof() for UDP, TCP, Chelsio-TLS and AF_KCM. ver #4) - Switch to using ->splice_eof() to signal premature EOF to the splice output[2]. ver #3) - Include the splice-to-socket rewrite patch. - Fix SPLICE_F_MORE/MSG_MORE signalling. - Allow AF_TLS to accept sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES before it is handled. - Allow a zero-length send() to a TLS socket to flush an outstanding record. - Address TLS kselftest failure. ver #2) - Dropped the slab data copying. - "rls_" should be "tls_". - Attempted to fix splice_direct_to_actor(). - Blocked MSG_SENDPAGE_* from being set by userspace.
