Based on the manual of TCP_CORK [1] and MSG_MORE [2], these two options have the same effect. Applications can set these options and informs the kernel to pend the data, and send them out only when the socket or syscall does not specify this flag. In other words, there's no need to send data out by a delayed work, which will queue a lot of work. This removes corked delayed work with SMC_TX_CORK_DELAY (250ms), and the applications control how/when to send them out. It improves the performance for sendfile and throughput, and remove unnecessary race of lock_sock(). This also unlocks the limitation of sndbuf, and try to fill it up before sending.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
