From 3a326a2ce88e71d00ac0d133e314a3342a7709f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 15:18:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] introduce a "kernel-internal pipe object" abstraction separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the internal splice APIs and the pipe code: - pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric and more streamlined with existing kernel practices. - splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice methods Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Update XFS for the ->splice_read/->splice_write changes.

Basically we cache an internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only meant to be used for sendfile() emulation. Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at exit for the normal fast path.
