From 32502b8413a77b54b9e19809404109590c32dfb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miklos Szeredi Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2008 09:35:17 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix generic_file_splice_read() race with page invalidation If a page was invalidated during splicing from file to a pipe, then generic_file_splice_read() could return a short or zero count. This manifested itself in rare I/O errors seen on nfs exported fuse filesystems. This is because nfsd uses splice_direct_to_actor() to read files, and fuse uses invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate stale data on open. Fix by redoing the page find/create if it was found to be truncated (invalidated).
