The patch titled
Subject: fat: enable .splice_write to support splice on O_DIRECT file
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fat-enable-splice_write-to-support-splice-on-o_direct-file.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: fat: enable .splice_write to support splice on O_DIRECT file
Now splice() on O_DIRECT-opened fat file will return -EFAULT, that is
because the default .splice_write, namely default_file_splice_write(),
will construct an ITER_KVEC iov_iter and dio_refill_pages() in dio path
can not handle it.
Fix it by implementing .splice_write through iter_file_splice_write().
Spotted by xfs-tests generic/091.
