TX limitations
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Kernel processing usually involves validation of the message received by
|
||||
user-space, then processing its contents. The kernel must assure that
|
||||
userspace is not able to modify the message contents after they have been
|
||||
validated. In order to do so, the message is copied from the ring frame
|
||||
to an allocated buffer if either of these conditions is false:
|
||||
|
||||
- only a single mapping of the ring exists
|
||||
- the file descriptor is not shared between processes
|
||||
|
||||
This means that for threaded programs, the kernel will fall back to copying.
|
||||
As of Jan 2015 the message is always copied from the ring frame to an
|
||||
allocated buffer due to unresolved security concerns.
|
||||
See commit 4682a0358639b29cf ("netlink: Always copy on mmap TX.").
