When gso.hdr_len is zero and a packet is transmitted via write() or writev(), all payload is treated as header which requires a contiguous memory allocation. This allocation request is harder to satisfy, and may even fail if there is enough fragmentation. Note that sendmsg() code path limits the linear copy length, so this change makes write()/writev() and sendmsg() paths more consistent.

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.
