fs/splice.c

static int __generic_file_splice_read(struct file *in, struct inode *pipe,
size_t len, unsigned int flags)
{
...snip....
do_page_cache_readahead(mapping, in, index, nr_pages);

/*
* Get as many pages from the page cache as possible..
* Start IO on the page cache entries we create (we
* can assume that any pre-existing ones we find have
* already had IO started on them).
*/
i = find_get_pages(mapping, index, nr_pages, pages);

/*
* common case - we found all pages and they are contiguous,
* kick them off
*/
if (i && (pages[i - 1]->index == index + i - 1))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
***There and
goto splice_them;

/*
* fill shadow[] with pages at the right locations, so we only
* have to fill holes
*/
memset(shadow, 0, nr_pages * sizeof(struct page *));
for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
shadow[pages[j]->index - index] = pages[j];
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

***There
