[PATCH net-next 0/3] rxrpc: Add bits for kernel services

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Oct 18 2017 - 07:55:56 EST



Here are some patches that add a few things for kernel services to use:

(1) Allow service upgrade to be requested and allow the resultant actual
service ID to be obtained.

(2) Allow the RTT time of a call to be obtained.

(3) Allow a kernel service to find out if a call is still alive on a
server between transmitting a request and getting the reply.

(4) Allow data transmission to ignore signals if transmission progress is
being made in reasonable time. This is also usable by userspace by
passing MSG_WAITALL to sendmsg()[*].

[*] I'm not sure this is the right interface for this or whether a sockopt
should be used instead.

The patches can be found here also:
