[RFC PATCH 7/9] shmem: check if a block is uptodate before splice into pipe

From: Daniel Gomez
Date: Fri Feb 09 2024 - 09:31:36 EST


The splice_read() path assumes folios are always uptodate. Make sure
all blocks in the given range are uptodate or else, splice zeropage into
the pipe. Maximize the number of blocks that can be spliced into pipe at
once by increasing the 'part' to the latest uptodate block found.
