From f8ad8187c3b536ee2b10502a8340c014204a1af0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 10:16:15 +0100 Subject: fs/pipe: allow sendfile() to pipe again After commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops") sendfile() could no longer send data from a real file to a pipe, breaking for example certain cgit setups (e.g. when running behind fcgiwrap), because in this case cgit will try to do exactly this: sendfile() to a pipe. Fix this by using iter_file_splice_write for the splice_write method of pipes, as suggested by Christoph.
