+Fixed an issue with using :meth:`~asyncio.WriteTransport.writelines` in :mod:`asyncio` to send very
+large payloads that exceed the amount of data that can be written in one
+call to :meth:`socket.socket.send` or :meth:`socket.socket.sendmsg`,
+resulting in the remaining buffer being left unwritten.
