RDS applications use predominantly request-response, transacation based IPC, so that ingress and egress traffic are well-balanced, and it is possible/desirable to reduce system-call overhead by piggybacking the notifications for zerocopy completion response with data.
Moreover, it has been pointed out that socket functions block if sk_err is non-zero, thus if the RDS code does not plan/need to use sk_error_queue path for completion notification, it is preferable to remove the sk_errror_queue related paths in RDS. Both of these goals are implemented in this series.
