According to http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588861, the patch "splice: direct_splice_actor() should not use pos in sd" fixes the regression. However this: commit 4f9078afb4e083e033aafbbfabe729cb3832aa42 Author: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Jun 29 13:09:18 2010 +0200 splice: direct_splice_actor() should not use pos in sd went into mainline without a cc:stable tag. -- 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
