I suspect we just have to use it. After all, it was valid when the read was done. The fact that it got invalidated later is kind of immaterial. splice() is an optimized read+write. The read reads it into a temporary buffer. The fact that it's a zero-copy buffer and basically just re-uses the source doesn't really change that.
