This patchset is for VFS.

Recently we got a lot of vulnerabilities in splice/vmsplice.

Also vmsplice already was source of vulnerabilities in the past:
CVE-2020-29374 (see https://lwn.net/Articles/849638/ ).

[...]

Applied to the vfs-7.2.vmsplice branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs-7.2.vmsplice branch should appear in linux-next soon.

Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.

It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.

Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase,
trailer updates or similar. If in doubt, please check the listed branch.
