Hello,

this patchset is first of three parts of another big patchset for
MSG_ZEROCOPY flag support:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230701063947.3422088-1-AVKrasnov@sberdevices.ru/ (local)
overall looks good. Two points I'd like to see addressed:
- what's the performance with all these changes - still same?
- most systems have a copybreak scheme where buffers
  smaller than a given size are copied directly.
  This will address regression you see with small buffers -
  but need to find that value. we know it's between 4k and 32k :)

During review of this series, Stefano Garzarella [off-list ref]
suggested to split it for three parts to simplify review and merging:

1) virtio and vhost updates (for fragged skbs) <--- this patchset
2) AF_VSOCK updates (allows to enable MSG_ZEROCOPY mode and read
   tx completions) and update for Documentation/.
3) Updates for tests and utils.

This series enables handling of fragged skbs in virtio and vhost parts.
Newly logic won't be triggered, because SO_ZEROCOPY options is still
impossible to enable at this moment (next bunch of patches from big
set above will enable it).

I've included changelog to some patches anyway, because there were some
comments during review of last big patchset from the link above.

Head for this patchset is 9d0cd5d25f7d45bce01bbb3193b54ac24b3a60f3
