Yes.

Userspace can still write to the page, but for correctness (e.g in the
case of SPLICE_F_GIFT describe by vmsplice(2)), it should not do this.
For vmsplice, it may hard to detect the time to reuse the page. Maybe we
MSG_ZEROCOPY[1] is better.

Anyway, sendpage() could be still useful for sendfile() or splice().
