TLDR: maybe we could ghet rid of "f_op->splice_read". *That* would be a big simplification.
FUSE might be interesting - fuse_dev_splice_read() and its ilk. Communications between the kernel and fuse server at least used to seriously want that, so that would be one place to look for unhappy userland... splice-related logics in fs/fuse/dev.c is interesting; another place like this is kernel/trace/, but I'm less familiar with that one. rostedt Cc'd (miklos already had been)
