At present, the UDP "splice" and "tap" paths are quite separate. We
have separate sockets to receive packets bound for the tap and splice
paths. This leads to some code duplication, and extra open sockets.
This series partially unifies the two paths, allowing us to use a
single (host side) socket, bound to 0.0.0.0 or :: to receive packets
for both cases.
Changes since v2:
* Don't receive multiple packets at once for pasta mode - seems to
hurt throughput on balance.
* Add some comments clarifying reasoning here.
Changes since v1:
* Renamed udp_localname[46] to udp[46]_localname
* Allow handling of UDP port 0
* Fix a bug which could misidentify certain v6 packets as v4-spliceable
* Some minor cosmetic fixes to code and commit messages
David Gibson (8):
udp: Move sending pasta tap frames to the end of udp_sock_handler()
udp: Split sending to passt tap interface into separate function
udp: Split receive from preparation and send in udp_sock_handler()
udp: Don't handle tap receive batch size calculation within a #define
udp: Pre-populate msg_names with local address
udp: Unify udp_sock_handler_splice() with udp_sock_handler()
udp: Decide whether to "splice" per datagram rather than per socket
udp: Don't use separate sockets to listen for spliced packets
