====================
Introduce sendpage_ok() to detect misused sendpage in network related drivers
As Sagi Grimberg suggested, the original fix is refind to a more common
inline routine:
static inline bool sendpage_ok(struct page *page)
{
return (!PageSlab(page) && page_count(page) >= 1);
}
If sendpage_ok() returns true, the checking page can be handled by the
concrete zero-copy sendpage method in network layer.
The v10 series has 7 patches, fixes a WARN_ONCE() usage from v9 series,
- The 1st patch in this series introduces sendpage_ok() in header file
include/linux/net.h.
- The 2nd patch adds WARN_ONCE() for improper zero-copy send in
kernel_sendpage().
- The 3rd patch fixes the page checking issue in nvme-over-tcp driver.
- The 4th patch adds page_count check by using sendpage_ok() in
do_tcp_sendpages() as Eric Dumazet suggested.
- The 5th and 6th patches just replace existing open coded checks with
the inline sendpage_ok() routine.

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 Restructured Text 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.
