Subject: [PATCH v2 5/8] tls: Suppress spurious saved_data_ready on all receive paths

From: Chuck Lever <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 20:19:49 -0400

From: Chuck Lever <[email-masked]>

Each record release via tls_strp_msg_done() triggers
tls_strp_check_rcv(), which calls tls_rx_msg_ready() and
fires saved_data_ready(). During a multi-record receive,
the first N-1 wakeups are pure overhead: the caller is
already running and will pick up subsequent records on
the next loop iteration. The same waste occurs on the
recvmsg and splice_read paths.

Replace tls_strp_msg_done() with tls_strp_msg_release() in
all three receive paths (read_sock, recvmsg, splice_read),
deferring the tls_strp_check_rcv() call to each path's
exit point. Factor tls_rx_msg_ready() out of
tls_strp_read_sock() so that parsing a record no longer
fires the callback directly, and introduce
tls_strp_check_rcv_quiet() for use in tls_rx_rec_wait(),
which parses queued data without notifying.

With no remaining callers, tls_strp_msg_done() and its
wrapper tls_rx_rec_done() are removed.
