I'm not very familiar with it either.

Instead of inferring whether MSG_MORE is safe to set, as below, sufficient to
rely on the caller to pass it when appropriate?

size = min(apply_bytes, sge->length). I doubt that size < apply_bytes is
ever intended.

And instead of this former branch

                if (flags & MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST)
                        msghdr.msg_flags |= MSG_MORE;

update any caller to pass MSG_MORE instead of MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, if not yet
done so.
