[RFC PATCH 1/4] splice: Fix corruption of spliced data after splice() returns

From: David Howells
Date: Thu Jun 29 2023 - 11:56:02 EST


Splicing data from, say, a file into a pipe currently leaves the source
pages in the pipe after splice() returns - but this means that those pages
can be subsequently modified by shared-writable mmap(), write(),
fallocate(), etc. before they're consumed.

Fix this by stealing the pages in splice() before they're added to the pipe
if no one else is using them or has them mapped and copying them otherwise.
