and use a proper standard socket type.
Assuming that that list is exhaustive...
SOCK_RDM seems to match perfectly well here. The point isn't to
enumerate everything in the universe the point is to find "works
like" parallels good enough to avoid more special casing.
IMHO the problem with classifying RxRPC as a "reliable datagram"
socket is that even an atomic unidirectional communication isn't a
single datagram, it's at least 3; there is shared connection state
and security context on both sides which pertains to a collection of
independent and possibly simultaneous RxRPC calls. From the digging
around that I did in the kernel socket code a while ago I don't see a
cleaner way of implementing it than a new SOCK_RXRPC.
