net: Declare MSG_SPLICE_PAGES internal sendmsg() flag
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.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
