From e519e7774784f3fa7728657d780863805ed1c983 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 18:32:13 -0500 Subject: splice: remove detritus from generic_file_splice_read() i_size check is a leftover from the horrors that used to play with the page cache in that function. With the switch to ->read_iter(), it's neither needed nor correct - for gfs2 it ends up being buggy, since i_size is not guaranteed to be correct until later (inside ->read_iter()).
