2022-02-09mctp: Add SIOCMCTP{ALLOC,DROP}TAG ioctls for tag controlMatt Johnston1-0/+48
This change adds a couple of new ioctls for mctp sockets: SIOCMCTPALLOCTAG and SIOCMCTPDROPTAG. These ioctls provide facilities for explicit allocation / release of tags, overriding the automatic allocate-on-send/release-on-reply and timeout behaviours. This allows userspace more control over messages that may not fit a simple request/response model. In order to indicate a pre-allocated tag to the sendmsg() syscall, we introduce a new flag to the struct sockaddr_mctp.smctp_tag value: MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC.

2021-10-18mctp: unify sockaddr_mctp typesJeremy Kerr1-5/+5
Use the more precise __kernel_sa_family_t for smctp_family, to match struct sockaddr. Also, use an unsigned int for the network member; negative networks don't make much sense. We're already using unsigned for mctp_dev and mctp_skb_cb, but need to change mctp_sock to suit.

2021-07-29mctp: Add MCTP overview documentJeremy Kerr1-0/+213
This change adds a brief document about the sockets API provided for sending and receiving MCTP messages from userspace.
