This contains assorted cleanups in the splice area: - add helpers for pipe buf ops instead of directly calling them - page cache buf doesn't seem to need confirming (since ages) - generic_file_splice_read() and generic_file_read() have lots of duplication Git tree is here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git#splice Thanks, Miklos --- Miklos Szeredi (11): pipe: add pipe_buf_get() helper pipe: add pipe_buf_release() helper pipe: add pipe_buf_confirm() helper pipe: add pipe_buf_steal() helper pipe: fix comment in pipe_buf_operations pipe: no need to confirm page cache buf pipe: remove generic_pipe_buf_confirm() filemap: add get_page_for_read() helper splice: use get_page_for_read() splice: don't check i_size in generic_file_splice_read() splice: fold __generic_file_splice_read() into caller drivers/char/virtio_console.c | 2 +- fs/fuse/dev.c | 15 +- fs/pipe.c | 31 +--- fs/splice.c | 301 ++++++------------------------------- include/linux/pagemap.h | 3 + include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h | 73 ++++++--- kernel/relay.c | 1 - kernel/trace/trace.c | 2 - mm/filemap.c | 339 ++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- 9 files changed, 281 insertions(+), 486 deletions(-) -- 2.5.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
