Subject: [PATCH] splice: fix problem introduced with inode diet
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc5~24
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ddac0d39cf437d02fde9795ae57d9c4b4c146de9;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] splice: fix problem introduced with inode diet

After the inode slimming patch that unionised i_pipe/i_bdev/i_cdev, it's
no longer enough to check for existance of ->i_pipe to verify that this
is a pipe.

Original patch from Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>
Final solution suggested by Linus.
