From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch does NOT apply to the 3.12 stable tree. If you still want it applied, please provide a backport. =============== commit a0ac402cfcdc904f9772e1762b3fda112dcc56a0 upstream. In theory we could map other things, but there's a reason that function is called "user_iov". Using anything else (like splice can do) just confuses it.
