[LTP] [PATCH v2 1/1] splice07: Whitelist /dev/zero on pipe write

[Petr Vorel]

/dev/zero on pipe write started to succeeded on kernel 6.7.

This is due commit 1b057bd800c3 ("drivers/char/mem: implement splice()
for /dev/zero, /dev/full") from kernel 6.7.

Hi,
splice() works on /dev/zero and /proc/self/maps on older kernels at 
least between v4.4 and v5.3.

Yep, this was just a sanity fix before the release to fix mainline.
OK, so we should skip also between v4.4 and v5.3?
Because you're testing it, please post better version.

And we should (as Cyril noted) after release add tests which actually test
splice() on /dev/zero and /proc/self/maps.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Petr

My guess would have been that this stopped working after the changes for
set_fs removal, see:

https://lwn.net/Articles/832121/

and kernel commit 36e2c7421f02

The article explicitly cites that splice() stopped working for files
that does not implemente splice_read().

So splice for these two didn't work between 5.10 and 6.7.

In that case it makes sense to treat /dev/zero and /proc/self/maps as 
unconditionally expected success for splice() to writable pipe.

I suppose so. And ideally we should write a separate test just for that
after the release.

+1 to new test.
