This patch provides the socket type SOCK_SEQPACKET in addition to SOCK_STREAM. AF_IUCV sockets of type SOCK_SEQPACKET supports an 1:1 mapping of socket read or write operations to complete IUCV messages. Socket data or IUCV message data is not fragmented as this is the case for SOCK_STREAM sockets. The intention is to help application developers who write applications or device drivers using native IUCV interfaces (Linux kernel or z/VM IUCV interfaces).
