From: Nivedita Singhvi <niv@us.ibm.com> Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2002 09:58:48 -0700 Doing zerocopy on the sendmsg() code path is nontrivial and the end result is really sendfile(). Actually, it is important observation. All the people who want zerocopy sengmsg() can just as well mmap() a private file, write their user data to it and then ask kernel to sendfile() the contents. zerocopy sendmsg() is totally unnecessary and provides zero new functionality to the user, just extra kernel complexity. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
