Andrei Vagin bdeb77bc2c fs: sendfile handles O_NONBLOCK of out_fd
sendfile has to return EAGAIN if out_fd is nonblocking and the write into
it would block.

Here is a small reproducer for the problem:

#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sendfile.h>


#define FILE_SIZE (1UL << 30)
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        int p[2], fd;

        if (pipe2(p, O_NONBLOCK))
                return 1;

        fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_TMPFILE, 0666);
        if (fd < 0)
                return 1;
        ftruncate(fd, FILE_SIZE);

        if (sendfile(p[1], fd, 0, FILE_SIZE) == -1) {
                fprintf(stderr, "FAIL\n");
        }
        if (sendfile(p[1], fd, 0, FILE_SIZE) != -1 || errno != EAGAIN) {
                fprintf(stderr, "FAIL\n");
        }
        return 0;
}

It worked before b964bf53e5, it is stuck after b964bf53e5, and it
works again with this fix.

This regression occurred because do_splice_direct() calls pipe_write
that handles O_NONBLOCK.  Here is a trace log from the reproducer:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
