From ae62ca7b03217be5e74759dc6d7698c95df498b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Sun, 6 Jan 2013 18:21:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logic commit 35f9c09fe9c72e (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once) added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all frags but the last one for a splice() call. The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe, or a smaller one. But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails. The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP sessions. We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1) Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection and test programs.
