Use sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES rather than sendpage in skb_send_sock(). This causes pages to be spliced from the source iterator if possible. This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can handle multiple multipage folios in a single transaction. Note that this could perhaps be improved to fill out a bvec array with all the frags and then make a single sendmsg call, possibly sticking the header on the front also.

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 Restructured Text 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.
