Subject: [PATCH for-6.1 0/3] fail io_uring zc with sockets not supporting it

Some sockets don't care about msghdr::ubuf_info and would execute the
request by copying data. Such fallback behaviour was always a pain in
my experience, so we'd rather want to fail such requests and have a more
robust api in the future.

Mark struct socket that support it with a new SOCK_SUPPORT_ZC flag.
I'm not entirely sure it's the best place for the flag but at least
we don't have to do a bunch of extra dereferences in the hot path.

P.S. patches 2 and 3 are not combined for backporting purposes.

Pavel Begunkov (3):
  net: flag sockets supporting msghdr originated zerocopy
  io_uring/net: fail zc send when unsupported by socket
