From: "Ravi Chamarti" <Ravi.Chamarti@storigen.com> Date: Fri, 6 Sep 2002 13:27:48 -0400 What is wrong in udp_sendpages which is including header and trailers as a part of the arguments? The API stinks, that's all. Using CORKing for UDP is nothing but buffering UDP packets which is not conventional for UDP sockets. A write on UDP sockets do need to result in transmitting the packets to the network. Once you have CORK, you change semantics of UDP socket. You are free to do this just like we did when we added CORK to TCP in Linux. Only unCORK results in packets to the network. The patch is a initial attempt to provide a UDP-based zero-copy path and also solving IP frags checksum issues in sending non-linear UDP skbs. CORK based UDP can do this too and it is the only version of these changes I will ever accept. - : 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
