[RFC -next 06/10] fs: Extend do_sendfile to take a flags argument

From: Joe Damato
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 20:17:55 EST


Extend the internal do_sendfile to take a flags argument, which will be
used in future commits to signal that userland wants zerocopy
notifications.

This commit does not change anything about sendfile or sendfile64.
