tcp: implement mmap() for zero copy receive
Some networks can make sure TCP payload can exactly fit 4KB pages,
with well chosen MSS/MTU and architectures.
Implement mmap() system call so that applications can avoid
copying data without complex splice() games.
Note that a successful mmap( X bytes) on TCP socket is consuming
bytes, as if recvmsg() has been done. (tp->copied += X)
Only PROT_READ mappings are accepted, as skb page frags
are fundamentally shared and read only.
If tcp_mmap() finds data that is not a full page, or a patch of
urgent data, -EINVAL is returned, no bytes are consumed.
Application must fallback to recvmsg() to read the problematic sequence.
mmap() wont block, regardless of socket being in blocking or
non-blocking mode. If not enough bytes are in receive queue,
mmap() would return -EAGAIN, or -EIO if socket is in a state
where no other bytes can be added into receive queue.
An application might use SO_RCVLOWAT, poll() and/or ioctl( FIONREAD)
to efficiently use mmap()
On the sender side, MSG_EOR might help to clearly separate unaligned
headers and 4K-aligned chunks if necessary.
Tested:
mlx4 (cx-3) 40Gbit NIC, with tcp_mmap program provided in following patch.
MTU set to 4168 (4096 TCP payload, 40 bytes IPv6 header, 32 bytes TCP header)
