This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled splice: Fix filemap_splice_read() to use the correct inode to the 6.3-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: splice-fix-filemap_splice_read-to-use-the-correct-in.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 266f69978a5a4699bb6a00c687f7edddd5b10bac Author: David Howells <dhowells@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon May 22 14:49:48 2023 +0100 splice: Fix filemap_splice_read() to use the correct inode [ Upstream commit c37222082f23c456664d1c3182a714670ab8f9a4 ] Fix filemap_splice_read() to use file->f_mapping->host, not file->f_inode, as the source of the file size because in the case of a block device, file->f_inode points to the block-special file (which is typically 0 length) and not the backing store.
