Yep, but the problem (at least on your pcap), is about sending the 48
bytes headers in TCP segment of its own, then the 512 byte payload in a
separate segment.

I suspect the sendpage() is only used for the payload. No need for
MSG_MORE here.

The MSG_MORE would need to be set on the first part (48 bytes header),
so that TCP stack will defer the push of the segment at the time the 512
bytes payload is added.
