No need to print ->f_op for that one - can be only socket_file_ops. Now,
the address family of that socket would be interesting...
How about adding to that printk (under if (WARN_ON()) something like
file = sd->u.file;
if (file->f_op->splice_write == generic_splice_sendpage) {
struct socket *sock = file->private_data;
printk(KERN_ERR "socket [%d, %p]\n", sock->type, sock->ops);
}
printk(KERN_ERR "in->f_op = %p\n", in->f_op);
Said that, we seem to have
* a pipe with some amount of data in it
* generic_splice_sendpage() called on that pipe, with len equal to
the amount in the pipe. Hopefully.
* generic_splice_sendpage() returning the value equal to len...
* ... and not draining the pipe entirely.
generic_splice_sendpage() is calling this:
ssize_t __splice_from_pipe(struct pipe_inode_info *pipe, struct splice_desc *sd,
splice_actor *actor)
{
int ret;
splice_from_pipe_begin(sd);
do {
cond_resched();
ret = splice_from_pipe_next(pipe, sd);
if (ret > 0)
ret = splice_from_pipe_feed(pipe, sd, actor);
} while (ret > 0);
splice_from_pipe_end(pipe, sd);
return sd->num_spliced ? sd->num_spliced : ret;
}
It has returned a positive number. That must have been sd->num_spliced.
splice_from_pipe_begin() sets it to 0 and the only place where it is
updated is
ret = actor(pipe, buf, sd);
if (ret <= 0)
return ret;
buf->offset += ret;
buf->len -= ret;
sd->num_spliced += ret;
sd->len -= ret;
sd->pos += ret;
sd->total_len -= ret;
if (!buf->len) {
pipe_buf_release(pipe, buf);
pipe->curbuf = (pipe->curbuf + 1) & (pipe->buffers - 1);
pipe->nrbufs--;
in splice_from_pipe_feed(). Whatever actor() is doing, the amount we
drain from the pipe is equal to the amount we add to ->num_spliced.
In other words, sending part looks reasonably solid. Another thing that
might have happened is
ret = do_splice_to(in, &pos, pipe, len, flags);
if (unlikely(ret <= 0))
goto out_release;
returning less than it has actually dumped into the pipe in some situations.
Which means default_file_splice_read() called on an empty pipe and
returning less than it has put there. The thing is, the last thing
that function does is
iov_iter_advance(&to, copied); /* truncates and discards */
return res;
and we would have to have copied > res > 0 for that scenario to happen...
Interesting... How about
if (res > 0 && pipe == current->splice_pipe) {
int idx = pipe->curbuf;
int n = pipe->nrbufs;
size_t size = 0;
while (n--) {
size += pipe->bufs[idx++].len;
if (idx == pipe->buffers)
idx = 0;
}
WARN_ON(len != res);
}
just before the return in default_file_splice_read()? WARN_ON_ONCE,
perhaps, to avoid cascades...
