After prior kernel change, mmap() on TCP socket only reserves VMA.
We have to use getsockopt(fd, IPPROTO_TCP, TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE, ...)
to perform the transfert of pages from skbs in TCP receive queue into such VMA.
struct tcp_zerocopy_receive {
__u64 address; /* in: address of mapping */
__u32 length; /* in/out: number of bytes to map/mapped */
__u32 recv_skip_hint; /* out: amount of bytes to skip */
};
After a successful getsockopt(...TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE...), @length contains
number of bytes that were mapped, and @recv_skip_hint contains number of bytes
that should be read using conventional read()/recv()/recvmsg() system calls,
to skip a sequence of bytes that can not be mapped, because not properly page
aligned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
