This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NFSD: Clean up splice actor to the 5.10-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: nfsd-clean-up-splice-actor.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 965bfaf2f60ab42453f5486294f11a843b130821 Author: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Jun 28 16:34:20 2021 -0400 NFSD: Clean up splice actor [ Upstream commit c7e0b781b73c2e26e442ed71397cc2bc5945a732 ] A few useful observations: - The value in @size is never modified. - splice_desc.len is an unsigned int, and so is xdr_buf.page_len. An implicit cast to size_t is unnecessary. - The computation of .page_len is the same in all three arms of the "if" statement, so hoist it out to make it clear that the operation is an unconditional invariant. The resulting function is 18 bytes shorter on my system (-Os).
