Network drivers are using sendpage_ok() to check the first page of an iterator in order to disable MSG_SPLICE_PAGES. The iterator can represent list of contiguous pages. When MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is enabled skb_splice_from_iter() is being used, it requires all pages in the iterator to be sendable. Therefore it needs to check that each page is sendable. The patch introduces a helper sendpages_ok(), it returns true if all the contiguous pages are sendable. Drivers who want to send contiguous pages with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES may use this helper to check whether the page list is OK. If the helper does not return true, the driver should remove MSG_SPLICE_PAGES flag.

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.
