From bd1a68b59c8e3bce45fb76632c64e1e063c3962d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2012 11:08:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] vmsplice: relax alignement requirements for SPLICE_F_GIFT It seems there is no fundamental reason to limit vmsplice() SPLICE_F_GIFT to page aligned chunks. All helpers are prepared to cope with offsets in page. This limitation makes vmsplice() API very impractical in the zero-copy land.
