Huh?  So you have WARN_ON(pipe->nrbufs == pipe->buffers) trigger depite
WARN_ON(pipe->nrbufs) *not* triggering a bit earlier?  Nuts...

Let's do this:
	* in generic_file_splice_read(): WARN_ON(pipe->nrbufs == pipe->buffers)
*and* WARN_ON(!pipe->buffers) in the very beginning.
	* in do_splice_to(): ditto.
	* in splice_direct_to_actor(): if (WARN_ON... from upthread (with the
typo fix, of course).
	* in iov_iter_pipe() turn the test into
	if (WARN_ON(pipe->nrbufs == pipe->buffers))
		WARN_ON(pipe != current->splice_pipe);
