Hi Jens,

Miklos has recently helped us review the spilce() syscall test cases in
LTP, available at:
http://ltp.cvs.sourceforge.net/ltp/ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/splice/
and has provided us valuable feedback on improvements of these test
cases on the following lines:

I would request you to kindly help us review the vmspilce() syscall test
cases in LTP, and also give us review feedback and improvements on the
same:
