Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the keys tree got a conflict in: fs/splice.c between commit: 90da2e3f25c8 ("splice: move f_mode checks to do_{splice,tee}()") from Linus' tree and commit: 549d46d3827d ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") from the keys tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc fs/splice.c index fd0a1e7e5959,6e6ea30c72b4..000000000000 --- a/fs/splice.c +++ b/fs/splice.c @@@ -1118,12 -1118,8 +1118,12 @@@ long do_splice(struct file *in, loff_t loff_t offset; long ret; + if (unlikely(!(in->f_mode & FMODE_READ) || + !(out->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))) + return -EBADF; + - ipipe = get_pipe_info(in); - opipe = get_pipe_info(out); + ipipe = get_pipe_info(in, true); + opipe = get_pipe_info(out, true); if (ipipe && opipe) { if (off_in || off_out) @@@ -1757,14 -1766,10 +1757,17 @@@ static int link_pipe(struct pipe_inode_ static long do_tee(struct file *in, struct file *out, size_t len, unsigned int flags) { - struct pipe_inode_info *ipipe = get_pipe_info(in); - struct pipe_inode_info *opipe = get_pipe_info(out); - struct pipe_inode_info *ipipe = get_pipe_info(in, true); - struct pipe_inode_info *opipe = get_pipe_info(out, true); ++ struct pipe_inode_info *ipipe; ++ struct pipe_inode_info *opipe; int ret = -EINVAL; + if (unlikely(!(in->f_mode & FMODE_READ) || + !(out->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE))) + return -EBADF; + ++ ipipe = get_pipe_info(in, true); ++ opipe = get_pipe_info(out, true); ++ /* * Duplicate the contents of ipipe to opipe without actually * copying the data.
