Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 0/2] trace: add tracepoint to
 tcp_sendmsg_locked

Meta has been using BPF programs to monitor tcp_sendmsg() for years,
indicating significant interest in observing this important
functionality. Adding a proper tracepoint provides a stable API for all
users who need visibility into TCP message transmission.

David Ahern is using a similar functionality with a custom patch[1]. So,
this means we have more than a single use case for this request, and it
might be a good idea to have such feature upstream.

  inspired in David's patch
