Subject: [RFC 1/9] net: allow __tcp_read_sock actors to steal skbs
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 10:22:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5466eea5fc519674df08dea564da17635a1cd6fc.1783619193.git.asml.silence@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1783619193.git.asml.silence@gmail.com>
Currently __tcp_read_sock() owns skbs and expects them to be present
when the actor function returns (modulo collapsing). For zcrx
optimisations I want to be able to take ownership of the skb in the
callback, add a helper doing that. It's only implemented for tcp, hence
keep "tcp" in the helper name. It could be later extended to other
protocols but would need some whitelisting mechanism.
