2009-05-12splice: fix misleading commentJens Axboe
Splice is tied to pipes by design, it'll not change. And now that the splice stuff is in splice.h (and note pipe.h), the rest of the comment is out-of-date as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15ocfs2: fix i_mutex locking in ocfs2_splice_to_file()Miklos Szeredi
Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination and call to ocfs2_rw_lock() so locks are only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15splice: split up __splice_from_pipe()Miklos Szeredi
Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

2008-01-28[SPLICE]: Don't assume regular pages in splice_to_pipe()Jens Axboe
Allow caller to pass in a release function, there might be other resources that need releasing as well. Needed for network receive. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-10pipe: allow passing around of ops private pointerJens Axboe
relay needs this for proper consumption handling, and the network receive support needs it as well to lookup the sk_buff on pipe release. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
