From: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> commit 79025e727a846be6fd215ae9cdb654368ac3f9a6 upstream. Now that random/urandom is using {read,write}_iter, we can wire it up to using the generic splice handlers. Fixes: 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops") Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxxxx> [Jason: added the splice_write path. Note that sendfile() and such still does not work for read, though it does for write, because of a file type restriction in splice_direct_to_actor(), which I'll address separately.] Cc: Al Viro <viro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jason A.
