Hello, I was looking through the 'udp_getfrag' function in the 2.4.20 tree, and it seems that it still copies the entire buffer to be transmitted to kernel-space instead of linking in into the sk_buff structure. Sorry if this has already been asked/answered before, but I'd like to know why this has been implemented for tcp and not udp - if there is a particular reason... Also, in the case of tcp, what would happen if the send call were to block, and a process were to write to the buffer before it was relinquished by the kernel?
