[PATCH net-next v9 11/16] ip, udp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

From: David Howells
Date: Thu May 18 2023 - 09:09:54 EST


Make IP/UDP 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.
