Hi All, The zero copy patches that went into the 2.4.4 kernel (http://lwn.net/2001/0419/kernel.php3) enabled zero copy only from the sendfile syscall. This is weird since all the framework is there to enable zero copy in sendmsg - by marking the user pages as COW until the pskb is freed. There must be a reason why it's not there (the patches are 4 years old). can someone shed some light on this? Was this ever tried? What am i missing?
