    net: sctp: implement rfc6458, 5.3.5. SCTP_RCVINFO cmsg support · 0d3a421d
    Geir Ola Vaagland authored
    This patch implements section 5.3.5. of RFC6458, that is, support
    for 'SCTP Receive Information Structure' (SCTP_RCVINFO) which is
    placed into ancillary data cmsghdr structure for each recvmsg()
    call.
    
    This option can be enabled/disabled via setsockopt(2) on SOL_SCTP
    level by setting an int value with 1/0 for SCTP_RECVRCVINFO in user
    space applications as per RFC6458, section 8.1.29.
    
    The sctp_rcvinfo structure is defined as per RFC as below ...
    
      struct sctp_rcvinfo {
        uint16_t rcv_sid;
        uint16_t rcv_ssn;
        uint16_t rcv_flags;
        <-- 2 bytes hole  -->
        uint32_t rcv_ppid;
        uint32_t rcv_tsn;
        uint32_t rcv_cumtsn;
        uint32_t rcv_context;
        sctp_assoc_t rcv_assoc_id;
      };
    
    ... and provided under cmsg_level IPPROTO_SCTP, cmsg_type
    SCTP_RCVINFO, while cmsg_data[] contains struct sctp_rcvinfo.
    An sctp_rcvinfo item always corresponds to the data in msg_iov.
    
    Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.
