GOAL: Support compiling out the splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile) along with all supporting infrastructure if not needed. Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls. Omitting them saves space. HISTORY: PATCH v6: - Removed unnecessary addition of __maybe_unused in fs/fuse PATCH v5: - Fix up commit log still referring to dropped __splice_p() PATCH v4: - Drops __splice_p() - Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out - Style fixes PATCH v3: - Fixup commit logs so that they are consistent with patch strategy - Style fixes PATCH v2: - Avoid the ifdef mess introduced in PATCH v1 by mocking out exported splice functions. STRATEGY: a. With the goal of eventually compiling out fs/splice.c, several functions that are only used in support of the the splice family of syscalls are moved into fs/splice.c from fs/read_write.c. The kernel_write function that is not used to support the splice syscalls is moved to fs/read_write.c. b. Introduce an EXPERT kernel configuration option; CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE; to compile out the splice family of syscalls. This removes all userspace uses of the splice infrastructure. c. Splice exports an operations struct, nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. Eliminate the uses of this struct when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined, so that splice can later be compiled out. d. Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out. e. Compile out fs/splice.c. Functions exported by fs/splice are mocked out with failing static inlines. This is done so as to all but eliminate the maintenance burden on file-system drivers.
