REPO: https://github.com/smipi1/linux-tinification.git BRANCH: tiny/config-syscall-splice BACKGROUND: This patch-set forms part of the Linux Kernel Tinification effort ( https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/). GOAL: Support compiling out the splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile) along with all supporting infrastructure if not needed. Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls. Omitting them saves space. HISTORY: PATCH v4: - Drops __splice_p() - Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out - Style fixes

RESULTS: A tinyconfig bloat-o-meter score for the entire patch-set: add/remove: 0/41 grow/shrink: 5/7 up/down: 23/-8422 (-8399)
I replied to one patch with a minor nit in the commit message. Other than that, I don't see any obvious issues with this. - Josh Triplett
