[PATCH v3 07/55] tcp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Mar 31 2023 - 12:11:30 EST


Make TCP's sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. This causes pages to be
spliced from the source iterator.

This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can handle
multiple multipage folios in a single transaction.
