the filesystems should be able to handle that themselves - they are
just passes an iter that has a range of data regions in pages that
they copy the required data into/out of. The data transfer mechanism
itself is completely independent of filesystem block sizes....
There's lots of other problems with do_splice_direct, but I don't
think this is one of them. I coul dbe wrong - this code has pretty
much zero documentation on how it is supposed to work and what it is
supposed to do - so don't take my word for it...
Cheers,
Dave.
