From 52bce91165e5f2db422b2b972e83d389e5e4725c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:59:34 -0800 Subject: 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).
