The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist. shmem, however, (and by extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(), Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in zero_page when there's a page missing.

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.
