Public bug reported: Can you please cherry-pick those 2 important commits from upstream?
1. net: introduce helper sendpages_ok() (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/23a55f44) 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. 2. nvme-tcp: use sendpages_ok() instead of sendpage_ok() (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/6af7331a) Currently nvme_tcp_try_send_data() use sendpage_ok() in order to disable MSG_SPLICE_PAGES, it check the first page of the iterator, the iterator may represent contiguous pages. MSG_SPLICE_PAGES enables skb_splice_from_iter() which checks all the pages it sends with sendpage_ok(). When nvme_tcp_try_send_data() sends an iterator that the first page is sendable, but one of the other pages isn't skb_splice_from_iter() warns and aborts the data transfer. Using the new helper sendpages_ok() in order to disable MSG_SPLICE_PAGES solves the issue. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2093871 Title: Using sendpages_ok() in nvme_tcp_try_send_data() Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Can you please cherry-pick those 2 important commits from upstream? 1. net: introduce helper sendpages_ok() (https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/23a55f44) Network drivers are using sendpage_ok() to check the first page of an iterator in order to disable MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
