[PATCH v7 0/6] Introduce sendpage_ok() to detect misused sendpage in network related drivers

This series was original by a bug fix in nvme-over-tcp driver which only
checked whether a page was allocated from slab allcoator, but forgot to
check its page_count: The page handled by sendpage should be neither a
Slab page nor 0 page_count page.

As Sagi Grimberg suggested, the original fix is refind to a more common
inline routine:
    static inline bool sendpage_ok(struct page *page)
    {
        return  (!PageSlab(page) && page_count(page) >= 1);
    }
If sendpage_ok() returns true, the checking page can be handled by the
zero copy sendpage method in network layer.

The first patch in this series introduces sendpage_ok() in header file
include/linux/net.h, the second patch fixes the page checking issue in
nvme-over-tcp driver, the third patch adds page_count check by using
sendpage_ok() in do_tcp_sendpages() as Eric Dumazet suggested, and all
rested patches just replace existing open coded checks with the inline
sendpage_ok() routine.

Changelog:
v7: remove outer brackets from the return line of sendpage_ok() as
    Eric Dumazet suggested.

    replace other open coded checks with sendpage_ok() in libceph,
    iscsi drivers.
v5, include linux/mm.h in include/linux/net.h
v4, change sendpage_ok() as an inline helper, and post it as
    separate patch, as Christoph Hellwig suggested.
v3, introduce a more common sendpage_ok() as Sagi Grimberg suggested.
v2, fix typo in patch subject
v1, the initial version. 


Coly Li (6):
  net: introduce helper sendpage_ok() in include/linux/net.h
  nvme-tcp: check page by sendpage_ok() before calling kernel_sendpage()
