Linus Torvalds d1a819a2ec splice: teach splice pipe reading about empty pipe buffers
Tetsuo Handa reports that splice() can return 0 before the real EOF, if
the data in the splice source pipe is an empty pipe buffer.  That empty
pipe buffer case doesn't happen in any normal situation, but you can
trigger it by doing a write to a pipe that fails due to a page fault.

Tetsuo has a test-case to show the behavior:

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/stat.h>
  #include <fcntl.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	const int fd = open("/tmp/testfile", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600);
	int pipe_fd[2] = { -1, -1 };
	pipe(pipe_fd);
	write(pipe_fd[1], NULL, 4096);
	/* This splice() should wait unless interrupted. */
	return !splice(pipe_fd[0], NULL, fd, NULL, 65536, 0);
  }

which results in

    write(5, NULL, 4096)                    = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
    splice(4, NULL, 3, NULL, 65536, 0)      = 0

and this can confuse splice() users into believing they have hit EOF
prematurely.

The issue was introduced when the pipe write code started pre-allocating
the pipe buffers before copying data from user space.

This is modified verion of Tetsuo's original patch.

Fixes: a194dfe6e6 ("pipe: Rearrange sequence in pipe_write() to preallocate slot")
