From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@zx2c4.com> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.256 commit ab37175dd3593b9098f2242e370a7b1af4c35368 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5Q0SQ CVE: NA -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 97ef77c52b789ec1411d360ed99dca1efe4b2c81 ] The original direct splicing mechanism from Jens required the input to be a regular file because it was avoiding the special socket case. It also recognized blkdevs as being close enough to a regular file. But it forgot about chardevs, which behave the same way and work fine here. This is an okayish heuristic, but it doesn't totally work. For example, a few chardevs should be spliceable here. And a few regular files shouldn't. This patch fixes this by instead checking whether FMODE_LSEEK is set, which represents decently enough what we need rewinding for when splicing to internal pipes.
