From 6365c44a824ff138e7926413932bb5c2e28a4c8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Donnefort Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 16:54:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ring-buffer: Allow splice reads on static buffers ring_buffer_read_page() rejects splice (full=1) reads on static buffers (that is user-mapped, persistent or remote) because !read check assumes unread pages must be swapped. However for those buffers we have no other choice than memcpy the data. For the memcpy case, only return an error when the writer is still on the reader page for the splice interface to wait.
