It doesn't work. This is fragment of my code:
user-level program:
....
token = NgSendMsg(..., NGM_XXX_SHOW, ...);
/* XXX not reached until ng_xxx_msg() returns */
for(;;) {
...
error = NgRecvMsg(...)
...
}
netgraph node:
/*
* Process control messages
*/
int
ng_xxx_msg()
{
....
case NGM_XXX_SHOW:
error = ng_xxx_show_data()
goto out;
....
out:
....
return (error);
}
/*
* send collected data
*/
int
ng_xxx_show_data()
{
for(;;) {
get_next_data_item();
if (no_more_data)
break;
NG_MKRESPONSE()
error = ng_send_msg()
}
return (error);
}
When size of collected data about 10Kb, all works fine. But when I need to
send 400Kb in reply - oops, ng_xxx_show_data() returns ENOBUFS (I think
because ng_socket receive queue is full, nobody reads from socket). So, I
don't understand how I can transfer large amount of data :-\ Any ideas?
