We always provide a single dst page, it's unclear why the io_copy_cache
complexity is required.
Because it'll need to be pulled outside the loop to reuse the page for
multiple copies, i.e. packing multiple fragments of the same skb into
it. Not finished, and currently it's wasting memory.
Okay, so what you're saying is that there will be follow-up work that will actually make this structure useful.
Exactly

Why not do as below? Pages there never cross boundaries of their folios. > Do you want it to be taken into the io_uring tree?
This should better all go through the MM tree where we actually guarantee contiguous pages within a folio. (see the cover letter)
Makes sense. No objection, hopefully it won't cause too many conflicts.

Yeah, I can do that in the next version given that you have plans on extending that code soon.
If we go with this version:
