Subject: [PATCH v3 49/55] nvme: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather then sendpage
Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2023 17:09:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230331160914.1608208-50-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230331160914.1608208-1-dhowells@redhat.com>

When transmitting data, call down into TCP using a single sendmsg with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to indicate that content should be spliced rather than
performing several sendmsg and sendpage calls to transmit header, data
pages and trailer.
