From a0548871ed267ae12eb1c860c5aaebd9e466b34e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 10:58:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
