Ah yes this hits the buffer limit and flushes the queue. The kernel side doesn't know how to merge those specific sendpage requests so it gives each request its own buffer and when the limit is reached we flush it. >> Do we need to keep such tests? if yes, then I will continue with >> adding such conditions in the function. >> Yes, these tests are needed because they are testing the edge cases. These are probably the most important tests because my normal usage will catch any issues in the "good" cases its these types of things that can go unnoticed (at least for a short while) if we don't have specific tests for them.
