For the use cases of splice I use, I work to make it page aligned and full pages. Anyone else using splice for optimizations, should do the same. It only makes sense. The end of buffer may not be a full page, but then it's the end anyway, and I'm not as interested in the speed. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
