pipe_buffer might refer to a compound page (and contain more than a PAGE_SIZE worth of data). Theoretically it had been possible since way back, but nfsd_splice_actor() hadn't run into that until copy_page_to_iter() change. Fortunately, the only thing that changes for compound pages is that we need to stuff each relevant subpage in and convert the offset into offset in the first subpage.

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.
