splice, net: Add a splice_eof op to file-ops and socket-ops

2025-10-29T13:03:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2bfc66850952b6921b2033b09729ec59eabbc81d ] Add an optional method, ->splice_eof(), to allow splice to indicate the premature termination of a splice to struct file_operations and struct proto_ops. This is called if sendfile() or splice() encounters all of the following conditions inside splice_direct_to_actor(): (1) the user did not set SPLICE_F_MORE (splice only), and (2) an EOF condition occurred (->splice_read() returned 0), and (3) we haven't read enough to fulfill the request (ie. len > 0 still), and (4) we have already spliced at least one byte. A further patch will modify the behaviour of SPLICE_F_MORE to always be passed to the actor if either the user set it or we haven't yet read sufficient data to fulfill the request.

Revert "fs: check FMODE_LSEEK to control internal pipe splicing"

This reverts commit fd0a6e99b61e6c08fa5cf585d54fd956f70c73a6. Which was upstream commit 97ef77c52b789ec1411d360ed99dca1efe4b2c81. The commit is missing dependencies and breaks NFS tests, remove it for now. Reported-by: Saeed Mirzamohammadi Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

fs: check FMODE_LSEEK to control internal pipe splicing

2022-08-17T12:23:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 97ef77c52b789ec1411d360ed99dca1efe4b2c81 ] The original direct splicing mechanism from Jens required the input to be a regular file because it was avoiding the special socket case. It also recognized blkdevs as being close enough to a regular file. But it forgot about chardevs, which behave the same way and work fine here. This is an okayish heuristic, but it doesn't totally work. For example, a few chardevs should be spliceable here. And a few regular files shouldn't. This patch fixes this by instead checking whether FMODE_LSEEK is set, which represents decently enough what we need rewinding for when splicing to internal pipes.

do_splice_to(): move the logics for limiting the read length in

2021-01-26T04:28:41+00:00

Both callers have the identical logics limiting the amount of data we try to read into pipe - no more than would fit into that pipe. Move that into do_splice_to() itself. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

splice: change exported internal do_splice() helper to take kernel offset

2020-10-22T20:15:51+00:00

With the set_fs change, we can no longer rely on copy_{to,from}_user() accepting a kernel pointer, and it was bad form to do so anyway. Clean this up and change the internal helper that io_uring uses to deal with kernel pointers instead. This puts the offset copy in/out in __do_splice() instead, which just calls the same helper.
