[PATCH v3 48/55] sunrpc: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather then sendpage

David Howells
2023-03-31T16:19:09Z

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