nfsd_splice_actor() checks that the page being spliced does not match the previous element in the svc_rqst::rq_pages array. We believe this is to prevent a double put_page() in cases where the READ payload is partially contained in the xdr_buf's head buffer. However, the NFSD READ proc functions no longer place any part of the READ payload in the head buffer, in order to properly support NFS/RDMA READ with Write chunks. Therefore, simplify the logic in nfsd_splice_actor() to remove this unnecessary check. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
