Re: [PATCH 1/1] backing-file: convert to using fops->splice_write

Christian,

Would you mind picking up this fix via the vfs tree?
The reason that the Fixes tag points to fuse passthrough patch is twofold:

1. fuse passthrough is a new user of backing_file_splice_write() which
    can have a fuse or overlayfs backing file with custom ->splice_write()
2. overlayfs can have a backing upper file which is a fuse passthrough
    file with a custom ->splice_write()

Thanks,
Amir.

Filesystems may define their own splice write. Therefore, use the file
fops instead of invoking iter_file_splice_write() directly.
