[RFC PATCH 14/28] crypto: af_alg: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Mar 16 2023 - 11:29:37 EST


Make AF_ALG 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.

[!] Note that this makes use of netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() from netfslib.
This probably needs moving to core code somewhere.
