[PATCH net-next v5 06/16] dlm: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than sendpage

From: David Howells
Date: Fri Jun 23 2023 - 18:57:14 EST


When transmitting data, call down a layer using a single sendmsg with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to indicate that content should be spliced rather using
sendpage. This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can
handle multiple multipage folios in a single transaction.
