Subject: [PATCH net-next] tcp: improve recv_skip_hint for tcp_zerocopy_receive

From: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@...gle.com>

tcp_zerocopy_receive() rounds down the zc->length a multiple of
PAGE_SIZE. This results in two issues:
- tcp_zerocopy_receive sets recv_skip_hint to the length of the
  receive queue if the zc->length input is smaller than the
  PAGE_SIZE, even though the data in receive queue could be
  zerocopied.
- tcp_zerocopy_receive would set recv_skip_hint of 0, in cases
  where we have a little bit of data after the perfectly-sized
  packets.

To fix these issues, do not store the rounded down value in
zc->length. Round down the length passed to zap_page_range(),
and return min(inq, zc->length) when the zap_range is 0.
