David Howells 6bcc79a4e7 net: Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg() flag
[ 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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
