I was groping around through the socket code today looking for more places
to sprinkle mandatory access control magic, and noticed that in most parts
of the system call and protocol-independent socket implementation,
sosend() is never invoked directly: instead, pru_sosend() is invoked, and
protocols have the option of implementing pru_sosend() using the central
sosend(), or providing their own optimized implementation. However, the
exception to this appears to be in the nfsclient code, where sosend is
invoked directly on the socket:
bootp_subr.c-
bootp_subr.c: error = sosend(so, (struct sockaddr *) &dst,
bootp_subr.c- &auio, NULL, NULL, 0, td);
bootp_subr.c- if (error != 0) {
...
krpc_subr.c- }
krpc_subr.c: error = sosend(so, (struct sockaddr *)sa, NULL, m,
krpc_subr.c- NULL, 0, td);
krpc_subr.c- if (error) {
It strikes me that instead it should be calling:
error = so->so_proto->pr_usrreqs->pru_sosend(...)
So that protocols can implement sosend as they see fit. The NFS server
code appears to do this fine. Is this interpretation correct?
