Previous work had the receiver try to receive multiple messages in bulk. This does the same for the sender. We walk the send queue and initialize a vector that we then send with one call. This is intentionally similar to the single message sending pattern to avoid unintended changes. Along with the changes to recieve in bulk this ended up increasing the message processing rate by about 6x when both send and receive were going full throttle.

Introduction
scoutfs is a clustered in-kernel Linux filesystem designed to support large archival systems. It features additional interfaces and metadata so that archive agents can perform their maintenance workflows without walking all the files in the namespace. Its cluster support lets deployments add nodes to satisfy archival tier bandwidth targets.
The design goal is to reach file populations in the trillions, with the archival bandwidth to match, while remaining operational and responsive.
Highlights of the design and implementation include:
- Fully consistent POSIX semantics between nodes
- Atomic transactions to maintain consistent persistent structures
- Integrated archival metadata replaces syncing to external databases
- Dynamic seperation of resources lets nodes write in parallel
- 64bit throughout; no limits on file or directory sizes or counts
- Open GPLv2 implementation
