Enable support for MSG_ZEROCOPY to the TCP stack. TSO and GSO are
both supported. Only data sent to remote destinations is sent without
copying. Packets looped onto a local destination have their payload
copied to avoid unbounded latency.
Tested:
A 10x TCP_STREAM between two hosts showed a reduction in netserver
process cycles by up to 70%, depending on packet size. Systemwide,
savings are of course much less pronounced, at up to 20% best case.
msg_zerocopy.sh 4 tcp:
without zerocopy
tx=121792 (7600 MB) txc=0 zc=n
rx=60458 (7600 MB)
with zerocopy
tx=286257 (17863 MB) txc=286257 zc=y
rx=140022 (17863 MB)
This test opens a pair of sockets over veth, one one calls send with
64KB and optionally MSG_ZEROCOPY and on the other reads the initial
bytes. The receiver truncates, so this is strictly an upper bound on
what is achievable. It is more representative of sending data out of
a physical NIC (when payload is not touched, either).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
