Subject: [PATCH] splice: cleanup __generic_file_splice_read()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=16c523ddabcce5d3d817f4a2491d628f84dfaaa1;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] splice: cleanup __generic_file_splice_read()

The whole shadow/pages logic got overly complex, and this simpler
approach is actually faster in testing.
