From 912d35f86781e64d73be1ef358f703c08905ac37 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2006 10:59:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add support for the sys_vmsplice syscall sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice() moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead. This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network receive support as well.
