From 6a14b90bb6bc7cd83e2a444bf457a2ea645cbfe7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:08:55 +0200 Subject: vmsplice: add vmsplice-to-user support A bit of a cheat, it actually just copies the data to userspace. But this makes the interface nice and symmetric and enables people to build on splice, with room for future improvement in performance.
