Can you please resend this outside this thread? I really cant't see what's new or old here if you have a reply-to in the old thread.

It seems like vfs_iter_write is the wrong level to implement ->splice_write given that the the ->splice_write caller has already checked f_mode, done the equivalent of rw_verify_area and should do the fsnotify_modify. I'd suggest to just open code the relevant parts of vfs_iocb_iter_write in iter_file_splice_write.
