[Cluster-devel] [PATCH net-next v5 06/16] dlm: Use sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES) rather than sendpage

When transmitting data, call down a layer using a single sendmsg with
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to indicate that content should be spliced rather using
sendpage.  This allows ->sendpage() to be replaced by something that can
handle multiple multipage folios in a single transaction.
