Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 1/3] bpf: add bpf_ksock_sendto() kfunc
Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2026 15:58:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261020155848.75711-2-mahe.tardy@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020155848.75711-1-mahe.tardy@gmail.com>

The motivation is to plumb more of the socket API into ksock, thus
supporting sendto() in addition to send() which makes a lot of sense in
the context of UDP sockets which are the only type currently supported.
This is useful when ksock is used to reply to specific addresses or send
to multiple addresses.
