From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 18:59:34 +0000 (-0800) Subject: splice: reinstate SIGPIPE/EPIPE handling X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=52bce91165e5f2db422b2b972e83d389e5e4725c;p=linux-beck.git splice: reinstate SIGPIPE/EPIPE handling Commit 8924feff66f3 ("splice: lift pipe_lock out of splice_to_pipe()") caused a regression when there were no more readers left on a pipe that was being spliced into: rather than the expected SIGPIPE and -EPIPE return value, the writer would end up waiting forever for space to free up (which obviously was not going to happen with no readers around).
