Technically yes, also we can split message for non-stream sockets (as vhost
does when it copies data to rx buffers of the guest), but it requires to rework
current implementation by adding buffers one by one to the tx queue. I think
it was not implemented here because until MSG_ZEROCOPY all skbs requires one
(if it is control message) or two (with payload) buffers, so there is no big
sense in processing max two buffers in "one-by-one" mode - we can just wait
for space.
May be, I can add this logic for non-linear skb's here:
if (skb->len > vq->max_num)
add buffers "one-by-one", incrementing internal offset in skb,
if (new skb insertion fails)
requeue skb, wait for space.
In TX done callback I'll call consume skb only when above mentioned internal
offset == skb->len. I think this approach allows to get rid of new 'check_iov'
callback from this patch.
Stefano, what do You think?
