[PATCH 76/86] net: splice: avoid high order page splitting

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Mar 26 2013 - 13:43:41 EST


3.6.11.1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4678414601960b3d60b651d82e2913c48c53508d ]

splice() can handle pages of any order, but network code tries hard to
split them in PAGE_SIZE units. Not quite successfully anyway, as
__splice_segment() assumed poff < PAGE_SIZE. This is true for
the skb->data part, not necessarily for the fragments.

This patch removes this logic to give the pages as they are in the skb.
