Subject: [PATCH] splice: redo page lookup if add_to_page_cache() returns -EEXIST
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a0548871ed267ae12eb1c860c5aaebd9e466b34e;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] splice: redo page lookup if add_to_page_cache() returns -EEXIST

This can happen quite easily, if several processes are trying to splice
the same file at the same time. It's not a failure, it just means someone
raced with us in allocating this file page. So just dump the allocated
page and relookup the original.
