TCP 发送流程

socket编程中tcp发送的调用有好几个：send, sendmsg, sendpage。不过这些调用都可以归结到内核函数

tcp_sendmsg。

int tcp_sendmsg(struct kiocb *iocb, struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t size) { struct sock *sk = sock->sk; struct iovec *iov; struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk); struct sk_buff *skb; int iovlen, flags; int mss_now, size_goal; int err, copied; long timeo; /* 由于该函数有系统调用调用，sock加锁 */ lock_sock(sk); TCP_CHECK_TIMER(sk); flags = msg->msg_flags; /* 发送超时计算 */ timeo = sock_sndtimeo(sk, flags & MSG_DONTWAIT); /* Wait for a connection to finish. */ if ((1 << sk->sk_state) & ~(TCPF_ESTABLISHED | TCPF_CLOSE_WAIT)) if ((err = sk_stream_wait_connect(sk, &timeo)) != 0) goto out_err; /* This should be in poll */ clear_bit(SOCK_ASYNC_NOSPACE, &sk->sk_socket->flags); /* 计算当前MSS，并设置xmit_size_goal，该值一般等于MSS，不过在GSO 存在的话就不是了 */ mss_now = tcp_current_mss(sk, !(flags&MSG_OOB)); size_goal = tp->xmit_size_goal; /* Ok commence sending. */ iovlen = msg->msg_iovlen; iov = msg->msg_iov; copied = 0; err = -EPIPE; if (sk->sk_err || (sk->sk_shutdown & SEND_SHUTDOWN)) goto do_error;  

 

下面就进入发送数据流程，主要的工作是把iov中的数据搬移到满足大小限制的SKB数据包中。

while (--iovlen >= 0) { int seglen = iov->iov_len; unsigned char __user *from = iov->iov_base; iov++; while (seglen > 0) { int copy; skb = tcp_write_queue_tail(sk); if (!tcp_send_head(sk) || (copy = size_goal - skb->len) <= 0) { new_segment: /* Allocate new segment. If the interface is SG, * allocate skb fitting to single page. */ if (!sk_stream_memory_free(sk)) goto wait_for_sndbuf; /* select_size函数用来决定分配多少内存，一般情况下是 分配一个MSS的大小；对于SG下，则分配一个头部的长度*/ skb = sk_
