From 06ae43f34bcc07a0b6be8bf78a1c895bcd12c839 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2013 13:19:30 -0400 Subject: Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from() default_file_splice_from() ends up calling vfs_write() (via very convoluted callchain). It's an overkill, since we already have done rw_verify_area() in the caller by the time we call vfs_write() we are under set_fs(KERNEL_DS), so access_ok() is also pointless. Add a new helper (__kernel_write()), use it instead of kernel_write() in there.
