Name:vmsplice splices a user address range into a pipe. It can be thought of* as splice-from-memory, where the regular splice is splice-from-file (or* to file). In both cases the output is a pipe, naturally.

Proto:static long vmsplice_to_pipe(struct file *file, struct iov_iter *iter, unsigned int flags)

Type:long

Parameter:

TypeParameterName
struct file *file
struct iov_iter *iter
unsigned intflags
1310  ret = 0
1311  buf_flag = 0
1313  If flags & pages passed in are a gift Then buf_flag = page is a gift
1316  pipe = After the inode slimming patch, i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev share the same* location, so checking ->i_pipe is not enough to verify that this is a* pipe.
1317  If Not pipe Then Return -EBADF
1320  pipe_lock(pipe)
1321  ret = wait_for_space(pipe, flags)
1322  If Not ret Then ret = iter_to_pipe(iter, pipe, buf_flag)
1324  pipe_unlock(pipe)
1325  If ret > 0 Then wakeup_pipe_readers(pipe)
1327  Return ret

NameDescribe
do_vmspliceNote that vmsplice only really supports true splicing _from_ user memory* to a pipe, not the other way around. Splicing from user memory is a simple* operation that can be supported without any funky alignment restrictions* or nasty vm tricks
