From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> This is a "should never happen" condition, but if for some reason the pipe splice actor should attempt to walk past the end of rq_pages, it needs to terminate the READ operation to prevent corruption of the pointer addresses in the fields just beyond the array. A server crash is thus prevented. Since the code is not behaving, the READ operation returns -EIO to the client. None of the READ payload data can be trusted if the splice actor isn't operating as expected.
