[ Upstream commit b841b901c4 ]
Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, an internal sendmsg() flag, that hints to a
network protocol that it should splice pages from the source iterator
rather than copying the data if it can. This flag is added to a list that
is cleared by sendmsg syscalls on entry.
This is intended as a replacement for the ->sendpage() op, allowing a way
to splice in several multipage folios in one go.
