This reverts commit 79996b45f7.
Revert the change that restricts a send provided buffer to be zero, so
it will always consume the whole buffer. This is strictly needed for
partial consumption, as the send may very well be a subset of the
current buffer. In fact, that's the intended use case.
For non-incremental provided buffer rings, an application should set
sqe->len carefully to avoid the potential issue described in the
reverted commit. It is recommended that '0' still be set for len for
that case, if the application is set on maintaining more than 1 send
inflight for the same socket. This is somewhat of a nonsensical thing
to do.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
