splice: direct splicing updates ppos twice
OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> reported that he's noticed nfsd read corruption in recent kernels, and did the hard work of discovering that it's due to splice updating the file position twice. This means that the next operation would start further ahead than it should. nfsd_vfs_read() splice_direct_to_actor() while(len) { do_splice_to() [update sd->pos] -> generic_file_splice_read() [read from sd->pos] nfsd_direct_splice_actor() -> __splice_from_pipe() [update sd->pos] There's nothing wrong with the core splice code, but the direct splicing is an addon that calls both input and output paths. So it has to take care in locally caching offset so it remains correct. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
