[PATCH v3 50/55] kcm: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather then sendpage

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Mar 31 2023 - 12:19:37 EST


When transmitting data, call down into TCP using a single sendmsg with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to indicate that content should be spliced rather than
performing several sendmsg and sendpage calls to transmit header, data
pages and trailer.
