Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH] tcp: fix for splice receive when used with software LRO

This is a resend of "[PATCH] Fix frag list handling in TCP splice receive",  
modified to conform to the new commit header line rules.The commit message 
has also been edited, and hopefully it is more clear now.

It fixes an infinite loop problem, in tcp_read_splice, that I can easily 
reproduce on my setup with a simple splice test program on the receive side. 

AFAICS, this problem should affect all setups which use software LRO and TCP 
splice receive. Did anybody tried this combination?

Thanks,
tavi
