+/**
+ * do_splice_direct - splices data directly between two files
+ * @in: file to splice from
+ * @ppos: input file offset
+ * @out: file to splice to
+ * @len: number of bytes to splice
+ * @flags: splice modifier flags
+ *
+ * Description:
+ * For use by do_sendfile(). splice can easily emulate sendfile, but
+ * doing it in the application would incur an extra system call
+ * (splice in + splice out, as compared to just sendfile()). So this helper
+ * can splice directly through a process-private pipe.
