BTW, will this two patch depend on the others in this patch series ?
Yes. You'll need patches that affect TCP at least so that TCP supports
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, so 04-08 and perhaps 09. It's also on top of the
patches that remove ITER_PIPE on my iov-extract branch, but I don't think
that should affect you.
Why I asked this is because I only could see these two ceph relevant patches
currently.
Depends on how you defined 'relevant', I guess. Only two patches modify ceph
directly, but there's a dependency: to make those work, TCP needs altering
also.

Okay. Will run the test today. I was reinstalling my laptop last week.

Thanks
