[PATCH net-next v2 00/10] crypto, splice, net: Make AF_ALG handle sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

Here's the fourth tranche of patches towards providing a MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
internal sendmsg flag that is intended to replace the ->sendpage() op with
calls to sendmsg().  MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is a hint that tells the protocol
that it should splice the pages supplied if it can.

This set consists of the following parts:

 (1) Move netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to somewhere more general and rename
     it to drop the "netfs" prefix.  We use this to extract directly from
     an iterator into a scatterlist.

 (2) Make AF_ALG use iov_iter_extract_pages().  This has the additional
     effect of pinning pages obtained from userspace rather than taking
     refs on them.  Pages from kernel-backed iterators would not be pinned,
     but AF_ALG isn't really meant for use by kernel services.

 (3) Change AF_ALG still further to use extract_iter_to_sg().

 (4) Make af_alg_sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support and make
     af_alg_sendpage() just a wrapper around sendmsg().  This has to take
     refs on the pages pinned for the moment.

 (5) Make hash_sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES by simply ignoring it.
     hash_sendpage() is left untouched to be removed later, after the
     splice core has been changed to call sendmsg().

I've pushed the patches here also:
