Refactor skb frag fast-forwarding for tcp receive zerocopy. This is part of a patch set that introduces short-circuited hybrid copies for small receive operations, which results in roughly 33% fewer syscalls for small RPC scenarios. skb_advance_to_frag(), given a skb and an offset into the skb, iterates from the first frag for the skb until we're at the frag specified by the offset. Assuming the offset provided refers to how many bytes in the skb are already read, the returned frag points to the next frag we may read from, while offset_frag is set to the number of bytes from this frag that we have already read. If frag is not null and offset_frag is equal to 0, then we may be able to map this frag's page into the process address space with vm_insert_page(). However, if offset_frag is not equal to 0, then we cannot do so.

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.
