IMHO the problem with classifying RxRPC as a "reliable datagram" socket is that even an atomic unidirectional communication isn't a single datagram, it's at least 3; there is shared connection state and security context on both sides which pertains to a collection of independent and possibly simultaneous RxRPC calls. From the digging around that I did in the kernel socket code a while ago I don't see a cleaner way of implementing it than a new SOCK_RXRPC.
