Very clever! We often call read/rcv system call to read requests from a connection, this copies data from kernel receive buffer to user space which has a cost.
This new patch changes this to allow zero copy with notification.
“Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a “notification” mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where the data is.”
This kernel patch enables zero copy from the receive queue.
