[PATCH net v2 2/3] net: devmem: return EMSGSIZE on type mismatch

Message-ID <[email protected]>
When a devmem payload mixes with a standard page payload, return
-EMSGSIZE instead of -EFAULT. This enables tcp_sendmsg to seamlessly
fall back to creating a new segment instead of failing the socket send.
