We do this so that the binding is automatically +unbound even if the userspace process crashes. + +Note that any reasonably well-behaved dmabuf from any exporter should work with +devmem TCP, even if the dmabuf is not actually backed by devmem. An example of +this is udmabuf, which wraps user memory (non-devmem) in a dmabuf. + +Socket Setup +------------ + +The user application must use MSG_ZEROCOPY flag when sending devmem TCP. Devmem +cannot be copied by the kernel, so the semantics of the devmem TX are similar +to the semantics of MSG_ZEROCOPY. + + ret = setsockopt(socket_fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ZEROCOPY, &opt, sizeof(opt)); + +Sending data +-------------- + +Devmem data is sent using the SCM_DEVMEM_DMABUF cmsg. + +The user should create a msghdr where, + +iov_base is set to the offset into the dmabuf to start sending from. +iov_len is set to the number of bytes to be sent from the dmabuf. + +The user passes the dma-buf id to send from via the dmabuf_tx_cmsg.dmabuf_id. + +The example below sends 1024 bytes from offset 100 into the dmabuf, and 2048 +from offset 2000 into the dmabuf.

This is because +the kernel does not keep a copy of the dmabuf contents. Instead, the kernel +will pin and send data from the buffer available to the userspace. + +Just as in MSG_ZEROCOPY, the kernel notifies the userspace of send completions +using MSG_ERRQUEUE:: + + int64_t tstop = gettimeofday_ms() + waittime_ms; + char control[CMSG_SPACE(100)] = {}; + struct sock_extended_err *serr; + struct msghdr msg = {}; + struct cmsghdr *cm; + int retries = 10; + __u32 hi, lo; + + msg.msg_control = control; + msg.msg_controllen = sizeof(control); + + while (gettimeofday_ms() < tstop) { + if (!do_poll(fd)) continue; + + ret = recvmsg(fd, &msg, MSG_ERRQUEUE); + + for (cm = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg); cm; cm = CMSG_NXTHDR(&msg, cm)) { + serr = (void *)CMSG_DATA(cm); + + hi = serr->ee_data; + lo = serr->ee_info; + + fprintf(stdout, "tx complete [%d,%d]\n", lo, hi); + } + } + +After the associated sendmsg has been completed, the dmabuf can be reused by +the userspace. + + Implementation & Caveats ========================
