The goal of this patchset is to enable splicing to internal pipes for select chardevs where it makes sense to do so. In the process, however, it was revealed that many regular files are problematic here. The key insight is that splicing to internal pipes is okay so long as the splice operation is rewindable. That means these devices need to be llseekable. So the series first tries to make llseek a bit tamer, fixing up the long-standing tension between llseek==NULL vs llseek==no_llseek vs ~FMODE_LSEEK. With FMODE_LSEEK as good information, the series is able to adjust internal pipe splicing to use that. It is then able to remove no_llseek entirely, and make all checks use FMODE_LSEEK and all invocations use vfs_llseek. Along the way the series also fixes related bugs in ksmbd, dma-buf, and vfio. Jason A. Donenfeld (8): ksmbd: use vfs_llseek instead of dereferencing NULL fs: do not set no_llseek in fops fs: clear or set FMODE_LSEEK based on llseek function fs: check FMODE_LSEEK to control internal pipe splicing fs: do not compare against ->llseek fs: remove no_llseek dma-buf: remove useless FMODE_LSEEK flag vfio: do not set FMODE_LSEEK flag .../watchdog/convert_drivers_to_kernel_api.rst | 1 -
