Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 00/19] splice, net: Replace sendpage with sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES), part 1
Here's the first tranche of patches towards providing a MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
internal sendmsg flag that is intended to replace the ->sendpage() op with
calls to sendmsg(). MSG_SPLICE is a hint that tells the protocol that it
should splice the pages supplied if it can and copy them if not.
This will allow splice to pass multiple pages in a single call and allow
certain parts of higher protocols (e.g. sunrpc, iwarp) to pass an entire
message in one go rather than having to send them piecemeal. This should
also make it easier to handle the splicing of multipage folios.
This set consists of the following parts:
(1) Define the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES flag and prevent sys_sendmsg() from being
able to set it.
(2) Overhaul the page_frag_alloc_align() allocator:
(a) Split it out from mm/page_alloc.c into its own file,
mm/page_frag_alloc.c.
(b) Make it use multipage folios rather than compound pages.
(c) Give it per-cpu buckets to allocate from so no locking is
required.
(d) The netdev_alloc_cache and the napi fragment cache are then cast
in terms of this and some private allocators are removed.
I'm not sure that the existing allocator is 100% thread safe.
(3) Implement MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in TCP.
(4) Make do_tcp_sendpages() just wrap sendmsg() and then fold it in to its
various callers.
(5) Implement MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in IP and make udp_sendpage() just
a wrapper around sendmsg().
(6) Implement MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in IP6/UDP6.
(7) Implement MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in AF_UNIX.
(8) Make AF_UNIX copy unspliceable pages.
I've pushed the patches here also:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=sendpage-1
The follow-on patches are on branch iov-sendpage on the same tree.

Changes
=======
ver #5)
- Dropped the samples patch as it causes lots of failures in the patchwork
32-bit builds due to apparent libc userspace header issues.
- Made the pagefrag alloc patches alter the Google gve driver too.
- Rearranged the patches to put the support in IP before altering UDP.
ver #4)
- Added some sample socket-I/O programs into samples/net/.
- Fix a missing page-get in AF_KCM.
- Init the sgtable and mark the end in AF_ALG when calling
netfs_extract_iter_to_sg().
- Add a destructor func for page frag caches prior to generalising it and
making it per-cpu.
ver #3)
- Dropped the iterator-of-iterators patch.
- Only expunge MSG_SPLICE_PAGES in sys_send[m]msg, not sys_recv[m]msg.
- Split MSG_SPLICE_PAGES code in __ip_append_data() out into helper
functions.
- Implement MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in __ip6_append_data() using the
above helper functions.
- Rename 'xlength' to 'initial_length'.
- Minimise the changes to sunrpc for the moment.
- Don't give -EOPNOTSUPP if NETIF_F_SG not available, just copy instead.
- Implemented MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support in the TLS, Chelsio-TLS and AF_KCM
code.
ver #2)
- Overhauled the page_frag_alloc() allocator: large folios and per-cpu.
- Got rid of my own zerocopy allocator.
- Use iov_iter_extract_pages() rather poking in iter->bvec.
- Made page splicing fall back to page copying on a page-by-page basis.
- Made splice_to_socket() pass 16 pipe buffers at a time.
- Made AF_ALG/hash use finup/digest where possible in sendmsg.
- Added an iterator-of-iterators, ITER_ITERLIST.
- Made sunrpc use the iterator-of-iterators.
- Converted more drivers.
