From 3e84f48edfd33b2e209a117c11fb9ce637cc9b67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 15:20:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] vfs/splice: Fix missed checks in new __kernel_write() helper Commit 06ae43f34bcc ("Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from()") lost the checks to test existence of the write/aio_write methods. My apologies ;-/ Eventually, we want that in fs/splice.c side of things (no point repeating it for every buffer, after all), but for now this is the obvious minimal fix.
