[NET]: Zerocopy sequential reading of skb data
Implements sequential reading for both linear and non-linear
skb data at zerocopy cost. The data is returned in chunks of
arbitary length, therefore random access is not possible.
Usage:
from := 0
to := 128
state := undef
data := undef
len := undef
consumed := 0
skb_prepare_seq_read(skb, from, to, &state)
while (len = skb_seq_read(consumed, &data, &state)) != 0 do
/* do something with 'data' of length 'len' */
if abort then
/* abort read if we don't wait for
* skb_seq_read() to return 0 */
skb_abort_seq_read(&state)
return
endif
/* not necessary to consume all of 'len' */
consumed += len
done
