packet: support extensible, 64 bit clean mmaped ring structure
The tpacket_hdr is not 64 bit clean due to use of an unsigned long
and can't be extended because the following struct sockaddr_ll needs
to be at a fixed offset.
Add support for a version 2 tpacket protocol that removes these
limitations.
Userspace can query the header size through a new getsockopt option
and change the protocol version through a setsockopt option. The
changes needed to switch to the new protocol version are:
1. replace struct tpacket_hdr by struct tpacket2_hdr
2. query header len and save
3. set protocol version to 2
- set up ring as usual
4. for getting the sockaddr_ll, use (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(hdrlen)
instead of (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(sizeof(struct tpacket_hdr))
Steps 2 and 4 can be omitted if the struct sockaddr_ll isn't needed.
