    CIFS: Fix splice read for non-cached files · 9c25702c
    Pavel Shilovsky authored
    Currently we call copy_page_to_iter() for uncached reading into a pipe.
    This is wrong because it treats pages as VFS cache pages and copies references
    rather than actual data. When we are trying to read from the pipe we end up
    calling page_cache_pipe_buf_confirm() which returns -ENODATA. This error
    is translated into 0 which is returned to a user.
    
    This issue is reproduced by running xfs-tests suite (generic test #249)
    against mount points with "cache=none". Fix it by mapping pages manually
    and calling copy_to_iter() that copies data into the pipe.
