Omitting them saves space. This adds a new EXPERT config option CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE (default y) to support compiling them out. This patch removes almost all callers of .splice_read() and .splice_write() in the file_operations struct. This paves the way to eventually compile out the .splice_read and .splice_write members of the file_operations struct as well as the remaining splice-related infrastructure. add/remove: 0/16 grow/shrink: 2/5 up/down: 114/-3693 (-3579) function old new delta splice_direct_to_actor 348 416 +68 splice_to_pipe 371 417 +46 splice_from_pipe_next 107 106 -1 fdput 11 - -11 signal_pending 39 26 -13 fdget 56 42 -14 user_page_pipe_buf_ops 20 - -20 user_page_pipe_buf_steal 25 - -25 file_end_write 58 29 -29 file_start_write 68 34 -34 pipe_to_user 43 - -43 wakeup_pipe_readers 54 - -54 do_splice_to 87 - -87 ipipe_prep.part 92 - -92 opipe_prep.part 119 - -119 sys_sendfile 122 - -122 sys_sendfile64 126 - -126 sys_vmsplice 137 - -137 vmsplice_to_user 205 - -205 sys_tee 491 - -491 do_sendfile 492 - -492 vmsplice_to_pipe 558 - -558 sys_splice 1020 - -1020 Signed-off-by: Pieter Smith <pieter@...sman.nl> --- fs/splice.c | 2 ++ init/Kconfig | 10 ++++++++++ kernel/sys_ni.c | 8 ++++++++ 3 files changed, 20 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/splice.c b/fs/splice.c index 44b201b..7c4c695 100644 --- a/fs/splice.c +++ b/fs/splice.c @@ -1316,6 +1316,7 @@ long do_splice_direct(struct file *in, loff_t *ppos, struct file *out, return ret; } +#ifdef CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE static int splice_pipe_to_pipe(struct pipe_inode_info *ipipe, struct pipe_inode_info *opipe, size_t len, unsigned int flags); @@ -2200,4 +2201,5 @@ COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE4(sendfile64, int, out_fd, int, in_fd, return do_sendfile(out_fd, in_fd, NULL, count, 0); } #endif +#endif diff --git a/init/Kconfig b/init/Kconfig index 782a65b..25ee289 100644 --- a/init/Kconfig +++ b/init/Kconfig @@ -1547,6 +1547,16 @@ config ADVISE_SYSCALLS applications use these syscalls, you can disable this option to save space. +config SYSCALL_SPLICE + bool "Enable splice/vmsplice/tee/sendfile syscalls" if EXPERT + default y + help + This option enables the splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile syscalls.
