Linux内核源代码解析之TCP面向字节流

大家都知道TCP是面向stream，而UDP是面向datagram的。

那，到底什么是stream呢？

我们来看一下以下代码

	/* Now we need to check if we have a half built packet. */

	if ((skb = tcp_dequeue_partial(sk)) != NULL) {

	        int hdrlen;



	         /* IP header + TCP header */

		hdrlen = ((unsigned long)skb->h.th - (unsigned long)skb->data)

		         + sizeof(struct tcphdr);



		/* Add more stuff to the end of skb->len */

		if (!(flags & MSG_OOB)) {

			copy = min(sk->mss - (skb->len - hdrlen), len);

			/* FIXME: this is really a bug. */

			if (copy <= 0) {

			  printk("TCP: **bug**: \"copy\" <= 0!!\n");

			  copy = 0;

			}

	  

			memcpy_fromfs(skb->data + skb->len, from, copy);

			skb->len += copy;

			from += copy;

			copied += copy;

			len -= copy;

			sk->write_seq += copy;

		      }

		if ((skb->len - hdrlen) >= sk->mss ||

		    (flags & MSG_OOB) ||

		    !sk->packets_out)

			tcp_send_skb(sk, skb);

		else

			tcp_enqueue_partial(skb, sk);

		continue;

	}

明白了吧？
