>Description:

A socket's sb_cc field includes the length of control data (like the
source address, for PR_ADDR protocols, and any control info like if
SO_TIMESTAMP, IP_RECVIF, etc. are set).

Problems with this include:
- FIONREAD just returns sb_cc, but not all these bytes are readable
- This count is used to determine the high/low water marks on the
  socket.
Advantages are:
- sb_cc is really the length of the attached mbufs, so it's simple
  to compute.

>How-To-Repeat:

Adel Abushaev <adel@ksu.ru> reported the problem and included this pair of
test programs.

{
   int sockfd;

   char buffer[512];

   memset(&servaddr_in, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
  
   servaddr_in.sin_family = AF_INET;
   servaddr_in.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
   servaddr_in.sin_port = htons(4000);

   select(sockfd+1, &fdsread, &fdswrite, &fdsexcept, &tim);
   if (FD_ISSET(sockfd, &fdsread))
   {
     ioctl(sockfd, FIONREAD, &optval); printf("ioctl: %d\n",optval); 
     optval=recvfrom(sockfd, buffer, 512, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&peeraddr_in,
          &addrlen); printf("recv: %d\n",optval);
     ioctl(sockfd, FIONREAD, &optval); printf("ioctl: %d\n",optval); 
   }

   close(sockfd);
}

>Fix:
	
Make sb_cc reflect the number of data bytes in the socket buffer,
instead of the amount of data+control.  This may be as simple as
fixing sballoc() and sbfree() in sys/socketvar.h to only count
MT_HEADER, MT_DATA, MT_OOBDATA mbufs, or may be much more involved.
