This adds handling of MSG_ZEROCOPY flag on transmission path: if this
flag is set and zerocopy transmission is possible (enabled in socket
options and transport allows zerocopy), then non-linear skb will be
created and filled with the pages of user's buffer. Pages of user's
buffer are locked in memory by 'get_user_pages()'. Second thing that
this patch does is replace type of skb owning: instead of calling
'skb_set_owner_sk_safe()' it calls 'skb_set_owner_w()'. Reason of this
change is that '__zerocopy_sg_from_iter()' increments 'sk_wmem_alloc'
of socket, so to decrease this field correctly proper skb destructor is
needed: 'sock_wfree()'. This destructor is set by 'skb_set_owner_w()'.

I'd call it `pkt_len`, `max_to_send` is confusing IMHO. I didn't
initially if it was the number of buffers or bytes.

So if `can_msgzerocopy` is not implemented, we always return true after
this point. Should we mention it in the .can_msgzerocopy documentation?
Ops, this is my mistake, I must return 'false' in this case. Seems I didn't
catch this problem with my tests, because there was no test case where
zerocopy will fallback to copy!
I'll fix it and add new test!
yep, I agree!
Can we also mention in the commit description why this is need only for
virtio_tranport and not for vhost and loopback?

Sorry I didn't get it :-(
Can you elaborate this a bit more?
I mean that we iterate over user's buffer here, allocating skb on each
iteration. And for last skb for this buffer we initialize completion
for user (we need to allocate one completion for one syscall).
Okay, so maybe we should explain better also in the code comment.
Thanks for review, I'll fix all other comments and resend patchset when
'net-next' will be opened again.
Cool, thanks!
