net: Convert proto callbacks from sockaddr to sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:33+00:00

Convert struct proto pre_connect(), connect(), bind(), and bind_add() callback function prototypes from struct sockaddr to struct sockaddr_unsized. This does not change per-implementation use of sockaddr for passing around an arbitrarily sized sockaddr struct. Those will be addressed in future patches. Additionally removes the no longer referenced struct sockaddr from include/net/inet_common.h. No binary changes expected.

net: Convert proto_ops connect() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

net: change proto and proto_ops accept type

2024-05-14T00:19:09+00:00

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument. This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being able to pass back more information. No functional changes in this patch. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

net: factor out __inet_listen_sk() helper

2023-08-14T06:06:13+00:00

The mptcp protocol maintains an additional socket just to easily invoke a few stream operations on the first subflow. One of them is inet_listen(). Factor out an helper operating directly on the (locked) struct sock, to allow get rid of the above dependency in the next patch without duplicating the existing code. No functional changes intended.

sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

2023-06-24T22:50:13+00:00

Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked(). sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead. This allows multiple pages and multipage folios to be passed through.

ipv4, ipv6: Use splice_eof() to flush

2023-06-09T02:40:30+00:00

Allow splice to undo the effects of MSG_MORE after prematurely ending a splice/sendfile due to getting an EOF condition (->splice_read() returned 0) after splice had called sendmsg() with MSG_MORE set when the user didn't set MSG_MORE. For UDP, a pending packet will not be emitted if the socket is closed before it is flushed; with this change, it be flushed by ->splice_eof(). For TCP, it's not clear that MSG_MORE is actually effective.

net: add missing includes and forward declarations under net/

2022-07-22T11:53:22+00:00

This patch adds missing includes to headers under include/net. All these problems are currently masked by the existing users including the missing dependency before the broken header. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
