[RFC PATCH 16/28] splice, net: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than ->sendpage()

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Mar 16 2023 - 11:29:50 EST


Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than ->sendpage() to splice data from
a pipe to a socket. This paves the way for passing in multiple pages at
once from a pipe and the handling of multipage folios.
