[PATCH 1/1] dibs: Re-apply lost patch

From: Steffen Jaeckel

Date: Tue Jan 27 2026 - 11:18:33 EST


While merging the dibs layer, Matt [1] noticed that the changes which were
done in [2] conflicted and were missing. He subsequently fixed this in the
merge commit of his own tree, but the changes never made it upstream.

This commit re-introduces the changes.

[2] a35c04de2565d ("net/smc: fix warning in smc_rx_splice() when calling get_page()")

Fixes: cc21191b584c ("dibs: Move data path to dibs layer")
