Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/28] net: Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg() flag
Date:   Thu, 16 Mar 2023 15:25:51 +0000

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 is intended as a replacement for the ->sendpage() op, allowing a way
to splice in several multipage folios in one go.
