This series makes splice(2) work in more cases: - pipe to pipe splicing (zero copy) - fallback splice_read which uses readv() - fallback splice_write which uses writev() Just after cleaning up my patches after a vacation I found Max Kellermann's patch on LKML implementing the first part. I'll still post mine, because it's slightly simpler (no ref + unref on the buffer if not necessary). One more generalization would be to allow splice to work on two non-pipes, using an internal intermediate pipe, a-la do_splice_direct(). Comments?
