From b85930a07738a95047a51dc5bc06b18fd91a9799 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 22 May 2023 14:49:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] splice: Make splice from a DAX file use copy_splice_read() Make a read splice from a DAX file go directly to copy_splice_read() to do the reading as filemap_splice_read() is unlikely to find any pagecache to splice. I think this affects only erofs, Ext2, Ext4, fuse and XFS.
