[PATCH v18 06/15] tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use direct_splice_read()

From: David Howells
Date: Tue Mar 14 2023 - 18:09:59 EST


Use direct_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather
than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file
into the output buffer and don't splice pages. This avoids the need for
them to have a ->read_folio() to satisfy filemap_splice_read().
