[PATCH net-next v8 01/16] net: Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg() flag

[David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

     - In ____sys_sendmsg(), clear internal flags before setting msg_flags.
     - Clear internal flags in uring io_send{,_zc}().
