From ca39d651d17df49b6d11f851d56c0ce0ce01ea1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 21:27:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] splice: handle try_to_release_page() failure splice currently assumes that try_to_release_page() always suceeds, but it can return failure. If it does, we cannot steal the page.
