[PATCH net-next v6 07/18] tcp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Apr 11 2023 - 12:10:55 EST


Make TCP's sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. This causes pages to be
spliced or copied (if it cannot be spliced) from the source iterator.

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