From: Matt Helsley <matthltc@xxxxxxxxxx>
It is sometimes useful to move anonymous pages over a pipe rather than
save/swap them. Check the SPLICE_F_GIFT and SPLICE_F_MOVE flags to see
if userspace would like to move such pages. This differs from plain
SPLICE_F_GIFT in that the memory written to the pipe will no longer
have the same contents as the original -- it effectively faults in new,
empty anonymous pages.
On the read side the page written to the pipe will be copied unless
SPLICE_F_MOVE is used. Otherwise copying will be performed and the page
will be reclaimed. Note that so long as there is a mapping to the page
copies will be done instead because rmap will have upped the map count for
each anonymous mapping; this can happen do to fork(), for example. This
is necessary because moving the page will usually change the anonymous
page's nonlinear index and that can only be done if it's unmapped.
