I'd like to encourage in-kernel kTLS consumers (i.e., NFS and NVMe/TCP) to coalesce on the use of read_sock. When I suggested this to Hannes, he reported a number of nagging performance scalability issues with read_sock. This series is an attempt to run these issues down and get them fixed before we convert the above sock_recvmsg consumers over to read_sock. While I assemble performance data, let's nail down the preferred code structure.
