Motivation:
On Linux, the UDP_SEGMENT socket option allows for large buffers to be
written to the kernel and segmented by the kernel (or in some cases the
NIC) into smaller datagrams. This can substantially decrease the number
of syscalls.
This can be set on a per message basis on a per socket basis. This
change adds per socket configuration.
Modifications:
- Add a CNIOLinux function to check whether UDP_SEGMENT is supported on
that particular Linux.
- Add a helper to `System` to check whether UDP_SEGMENT is supported on
the current platform.
- On Linux only:
- add the udp socket option level
- add the udp_segment socket option
- Add the `DatagramSegmentSize` channel option.
- Get/Set the option in `DatagramChannel`
Results:
UDP GSO is supported on Linux.

Motivation
Some bootstraps may require the ability to remove
Channel options from the ChannelOption storage in
cases where setting a higher-level flag makes those
options unusable. This patch adds that functionality.
Modifications
Add ChannelOptions.Storage.remove
Result
Users can remove channel options from storage
Motivation:
The most important API surface area in NIO are the Channel abstractions.
These are shared in all NIO programs, and are also used by several
projects to implement their I/O abstraction. There are several moving
parts to this abstraction, all of which are moving:
- Channel itself
- ChannelPipeline
- ChannelHandler
As these all move, they force several other pieces of API to move with
them. Most notably they force us to move NIOAny, which also forces us to
move FileHandle and FileRegion. That also forces us to bring over part
of our syscall abstraction. This duplication is acceptable due to its
minimal surface area, but it is definitely a flaw in our abstraction
design that we had to do that at all.
We also need to move the channel option abstraction, AddressedEnvelope,
and the DeadChannel.
Modifications:
- Moved a bunch of the Channel abstraction over.
- Moved Channel-associated types.
Result:
Channel will be part of NIOCore.
