From ae976416464b741913a13eea62eb6953ee065733 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugh Dickins Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2007 10:00:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] shmem: convert to using splice instead of sendfile() Remove shmem_file_sendfile and resurrect shmem_readpage, as used by tmpfs to support loop and sendfile in 2.4 and 2.5. Now tmpfs can support splice, loop and sendfile in the simplest way, using generic_file_splice_read and generic_file_splice_write (with the aid of shmem_prepare_write). We could make some efficiency tweaks later, if there's a real need; but this is stable and works well as is. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
