Okay, yes, I see something similar on my test machine.  Loopback throughput
drops from ~32Gbit/s to ~26Gbit/s with the Convert do_tcp_sendpages patch.

But! The complete set of patches is not yet fully applied.  If you look at the
two patches I've put on my sendpage-1 branch[1], the first brings the
performance back to where it was before and the second bumps it up to
~43Gbit/s.

However, I don't want to push those into the network tree until support for
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is added to all the network protocols that support splicing.
I have two more patchsets in the queue and there will be a third before I can
get to that point.

Could you try running this branch through your tests?

Thanks,
David
