Subject: [PATCH v2] Add MSG_WAITFORONE flag to recvmmsg

From: Brandon L Black <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 21:18:03 -0500

From: Brandon L Black <[email-masked]>

Add new flag MSG_WAITFORONE for the recvmmsg() syscall.
When this flag is specified for a blocking socket, recvmmsg()
will only block until at least 1 packet is available.  The
default behavior is to block until all vlen packets are
available.  This flag has no effect on non-blocking sockets
or when used in combination with MSG_DONTWAIT.
