From cc56f7de7f00d188c7c4da1e9861581853b9e92f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Changli Gao Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 09:09:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sendfile(): check f_op.splice_write() rather than f_op.sendpage() sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly. Although if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently. This patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output file. Some security checks related to f_op are added too.
