By falling back to default_file_splice_read/default_file_splice_write
which doesn't use the iter ops, but instead requires a copy in the
splice code. But given that the actual underlying reads and writes
bypass the pagecache it's not any less effiecient than the normal
pagecache based splice.

Exactly.

default_file_splice_read allocates it's own kernel pages, which are
then passed to ->sendpage.
