tun: export underlying socket
Tun device looks similar to a packet socket in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace. This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged. This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets into a physical device, can support injecting packets into host network stack almost without modification. First user of this interface will be vhost virtualization accelerator. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Acked-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: David S.
