[PATCH v22 17/31] ecryptfs: Provide a splice-read wrapper

From: David Howells
Date: Mon May 22 2023 - 09:54:25 EST


Provide a splice_read wrapper for ecryptfs to update the access time on the
lower file after the operation. Splicing from a direct I/O fd will update
the access time when ->read_iter() is called.
