From: Ben Hutchings Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2015 02:50:33 +0000 (+0000) Subject: splice: Apply generic position and size checks to each write X-Git-Tag: v3.2.67~5 X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=894c6350eaad7e613ae267504014a456e00a3e2a;p=pandora-kernel.git splice: Apply generic position and size checks to each write We need to check the position and size of file writes against various limits, using generic_write_check(). This was not being done for the splice write path. It was fixed upstream by commit 8d0207652cbe ("->splice_write() via ->write_iter()") but we can't apply that.
