This introduces a new corked flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, which is involved in syscall sendfile() [1], it indicates this is not the last page. So we can cork the data until the page is not specify this flag. It has the same effect as MSG_MORE, but existed in sendfile() only. This patch adds a option MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST for corking data, try to cork more data before sending when using sendfile(), which acts like TCP's behaviour. Also, this reimplements the default sendpage to inform that it is supported to some extent.

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.
