Subject: [PATCH resent] tcp: ioctl type SIOCOUTQNSD returns amount of data not sent

From: Mario Schuknecht <[email protected]>

In contrast to SIOCOUTQ which returns the amount of data sent
but not yet acknowledged plus data not yet sent this patch only
returns the data not sent.

For various methods of live streaming bitrate control it may
be helpful to know how much data are in the tcp outqueue are
not sent yet.

Hitting only asm-generic/ioctls.h is insufficient, many architectures do
not make use of this file and the build will fail for them with your patch
applied.

That's not fully clear to me.

We made the define similar to the existing TIOCOUTQ. What other files should be hit?

So we should define the new SIOCOUTQNSD in sockios.h only and not similiar to SIOCOUTQ using TIOCOUTQ. Right?

A little bit late - but why not using struct tcp_info for that? The
information is already provided via getsockopt(TCP_INFO).

It's pretty heavy handed to copy that entire TCP_INFO struct into
userspace during every I/O sequence the application makes.
