[PATCH net-next v6 2/4] vsock/virtio: support to send non-linear skb

From: Arseniy Krasnov
Date: Mon Aug 14 2023 - 17:34:44 EST


For non-linear skb use its pages from fragment array as buffers in
virtio tx queue. These pages are already pinned by 'get_user_pages()'
during such skb creation.

Changelog:
v2 -> v3:
* Comment about 'page_to_virt()' is updated. I don't remove R-b,
as this change is quiet small I guess.
