/*
   * "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
   *
   * This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   * an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   * buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
   *
   * The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   * that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
   *
   * Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by

   * Jens to support splicing to files, network, direct splicing, etc and
   * fixing lots of bugs.

   *    number of bytes have been copied and -errno on error.

   *

   *    This, together with splice_from_pipe_{begin,end,next}, may be
   *    used to implement the functionality of __splice_from_pipe() when
   *    locking is required around copying the pipe buffers to the
