From c66ab6fa705e1b2887a6d9246b798bdc526839e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 21:17:17 +0200 Subject: splice: abstract out actor data For direct splicing (or private splicing), the output may not be a file. So abstract out the handling into a specified actor function and put the data in the splice_desc structure earlier, so we can build on top of that. This is the first step in better splice handling for drivers, and also for implementing vmsplice _to_ user memory.
