Hi David,

a minor nit, in case you need to repost this series for some other reason.

Please use reverse Xmas tree - longest line to shortest - order for
Networking code. I understand this file doesn't adhere to that, and
we probably don't want churn due to addressing it throughout this file.
But my preference is to move towards this standard, or at least not away
from it.

So in this case:

	struct msghdr msg = { .msg_flags = flags | MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, };
	struct bio_vec bvec;

This tool can be useful:
