The goal of the series is to simplify and make it possible to use
ncdevmem in an automated way from the ksft python wrapper.

ncdevmem is slowly mutated into a state where it uses stdout
to print the payload and the python wrapper is added to
make sure the arrived payload matches the expected one.

Mina, what's your plan/progress on the upstreamable TX side? I hope
you're still gonna finish it up?

I'm very open to someone pushing the TX side, but there is a bit of a
need here to get the TX side done sooner than later. In reality I
don't think anyone cares as much as me to push this ASAP so I
plan/hope to look into it. I have made some progress but a bit to be
worked through at the moment. I hope to have something ready as the
merge window reopens; very likely doable.

Perfect!

Hey Mina,

Any updates on this? Any chance getting something out this merge window?

I was hoping you'd post something in the previous merge window (late Sep),
but if you're still busy with other things, should I post a v2 RFC? I have
moved to the mode which you suggested where tx dmabuf is associated
with the socket; this lets me drop all tx ref counts (socket holds
dmabuf, skb holds socket until tx completion). I also moved to a
more performant offset->dma_addr resolution logic in tcp_sendmsg and
fixed a bunch of things on the test side...
