It seems there are a lot of dumbass apps (latest i have found is iperf when analyzing batching results) out there whose performance is affected if they dont set IP_RECVERR. If you set that option though you end up getting all these skbs back to the app which i see as unnecessary work if i am uninterested. I would like to not do a recvmsg to find out what those messages are - rather just receiving any errors back. My proposal is to add another option which is mutually exclusive with IP_RECVERR that allows for errors only. Can i get a ye before i implement?
Andi, CCing you because i think you may be the person who added IP_RECVERR (at least the first time i heard it a few years back was from you). cheers, jamal - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
