Subject: [PATCH 1/5] vmsplice: open-code do_writev and do_readv
Date: Sat,  6 Jun 2026 06:10:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260606061031.3744880-2-safinaskar@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260606061031.3744880-1-safinaskar@gmail.com>

My previous vmsplice patch did the following mistake: I did
"CLASS(fd, f)(fd)", then did some checks on resulting "struct file",
then passed numeric (!) file descriptor to a function.

This is somewhat okay in this particular case, but I still think
this is code smell, so I fix this by open-coding do_writev and do_readv.

Also I insert a comment to warn other developers to keep
do_writev and do_readv in sync with vmsplice(2).
