[PATCH net-next v3 01/18] net: Copy slab data for sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

[David Howells]

If sendmsg() is passed MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and is given a buffer that contains
some data that's resident in the slab, copy it rather than returning EIO.
This can be made use of by a number of drivers in the kernel, including:
iwarp, ceph/rds, dlm, nvme, ocfs2, drdb.  It could also be used by iscsi,
rxrpc, sunrpc, cifs and probably others.

skb_splice_from_iter() is given it's own fragment allocator as
page_frag_alloc_align() can't be used because it does no locking to prevent
parallel callers from racing.  alloc_skb_frag() uses a separate folio for
each cpu and locks to the cpu whilst allocating, reenabling cpu migration
around folio allocation.

This could allocate a whole page instead for each fragment to be copied, as
alloc_skb_with_frags() would do instead, but that would waste a lot of
space (most of the fragments look like they're going to be small).

This allows an entire message that consists of, say, a protocol header or
two, a number of pages of data and a protocol footer to be sent using a
single call to sock_sendmsg().

The callers could be made to copy the data into fragments before calling
sendmsg(), but that then penalises them if MSG_SPLICE_PAGES gets ignored.

Notes:
    ver #3)
     - Remove duplicate decl of skb_splice_from_iter().
    
    ver #2)
     - Fix parameter to put_cpu_ptr() to have an '&'.
