When reading received messages with MSG_PEEK, we sometines have to read
the leading bytes of the stream several times, only to reach the bytes
we really want. This is clearly non-optimal.
What we would want is something similar to pread/preadv(), but working
even for tcp sockets. At the same time, we don't want to add any new
arguments to the recv/recvmsg() calls.
In this commit, we allow the user to set iovec.iov_base in the first
vector entry to NULL. This tells the socket to skip the first entry,
hence letting the iov_len field of that entry indicate the offset value.
This way, there is no need to add any new arguments or flags.
In the iperf3 logs examples shown below, we can observe a throughput
improvement of ~20 % in the direction host->namespace when using the
protocol splicer 'passt'. This is a consistent result.
$ ./passt/passt/pasta --config-net -f

Passt is used to support VMs in containers, such as KubeVirt, and
is also generally supported in libvirt/QEMU since release 9.2 / 7.2.
