Yeah, I confirm both are needed (the second for the pipe -> fs side)

This made me test copy_file_range, and it works with both as well (used
not to)

interestingly on older kernels this came as default somehow? I have
splice working on 5.4.67 :/ so this broke somewhat recently...

I'll add an extra patch with the second and take your patch.
Thanks!
