[RFC PATCH 10/28] ip, udp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Mar 16 2023 - 11:28:37 EST


Make IP/UDP sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. This causes pages to be
spliced from the source iterator if possible (the iterator must be
ITER_BVEC and the pages must be spliceable).

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