From 312fc2b4c82e96a48cb2d0da2bd4816eb253c499 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Fastabend Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 12:57:00 -0700 Subject: net: do_tcp_sendpages flag to avoid SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG When calling do_tcp_sendpages() from in kernel and we know the data has no references from user side we can omit SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag. This patch adds an internal flag, NO_SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG that can be used to omit setting SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG. The flag is not exposed to userspace because the sendpage call from the splice logic masks out all bits except MSG_MORE. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend Acked-by: David S.
