    [PATCH] splice: fix problems with sys_tee() · aadd06e5
    Jens Axboe authored
    Several issues noticed/fixed:
    
    - We cannot reliably block in link_pipe() while holding both input and output
      mutexes. So do preparatory checks before locking down both mutexes and doing
      the link.
    
    - The ipipe->nrbufs vs i check was bad, because we could have dropped the
      ipipe lock in-between. This causes us to potentially look at unknown
      buffers if we were racing with someone else reading this pipe.
