[RFC PATCH v4 01/17] vsock/virtio: read data from non-linear skb

From: Arseniy Krasnov
Date: Sat Jun 03 2023 - 16:55:08 EST


This is preparation patch for non-linear skbuff handling. It replaces
direct calls of 'memcpy_to_msg()' with 'skb_copy_datagram_iter()'. Main
advantage of the second one is that is can handle paged part of the skb
by using 'kmap()' on each page, but if there are no pages in the skb,
it behaves like simple copying to iov iterator. This patch also adds
new field to the control block of skb - this value shows current offset
in the skb to read next portion of data (it doesn't matter linear it or
not). Idea is that 'skb_copy_datagram_iter()' handles both types of
skb internally - it just needs an offset from which to copy data from
the given skb. This offset is incremented on each read from skb. This
approach allows to avoid special handling of non-linear skbs:
1) We can't call 'skb_pull()' on it, because it updates 'data' pointer.
2) We need to update 'data_len' also on each read from this skb.
