[NET]: Zerocopy sequential reading of skb data
Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible. Usage: from := 0 to := 128 state := undef data := undef len := undef consumed := 0 skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state) while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do /* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */ if abort then /* abort read if we don't wait for * skb_seq_read() to return 0 */ skb_abort_seq_read(&state) return endif /* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */ consumed += len done Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.
