[PATCH v14 02/17] splice: Add a func to do a splice from a buffered file without ITER_PIPE

David Howells
2023-02-14T17:14:47Z

Provide a function to do splice read from a buffered file, pulling the
folios out of the pagecache directly by calling filemap_get_pages() to do
any required reading and then pasting the returned folios into the pipe.

A helper function is provided to do the actual folio pasting and will
handle multipage folios by splicing as many of the relevant subpages as
will fit into the pipe.

The code is loosely based on filemap_read() and might belong in
mm/filemap.c with that as it needs to use filemap_get_pages().

Notes:
ver #14)
- Rename to filemap_splice_read().
- Create a helper, pipe_head_buf(), to get the head buffer.
- Use init_sync_kiocb().
- Move to mm/filemap.c.
- Split the implementation of filemap_splice_read() from the patch to
make generic_file_splice_read() use it and direct_splice_read().
