#     fs: Make splice() and tee() take into account O_NONBLOCK flag on pipes
#     
#     The current implementation of splice() and tee() ignores O_NONBLOCK set
#     on pipe file descriptors and checks only the SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag for
#     blocking on pipe arguments.  This is inconsistent since splice()-ing
#     from/to non-pipe file descriptors does take O_NONBLOCK into
#     consideration.
#     
#     Fix this by promoting O_NONBLOCK, when set on a pipe, to
#     SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK.
#     
#     Some context for how the current implementation of splice() leads to
#     inconsistent behavior.  In the ongoing work[1] to add VM tracing
#     capability to trace-cmd we stream tracing data over named FIFOs or
#     vsockets from guests back to the host.
#     
#     When we receive SIGINT from user to stop tracing, we set O_NONBLOCK on
#     the input file descriptor and set SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK for the next call to
#     splice().  If splice() was blocked waiting on data from the input FIFO,
#     after SIGINT splice() restarts with the same arguments (no
#     SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) and blocks again instead of returning -EAGAIN when no
#     data is available.
#     
#     This differs from the splice() behavior when reading from a vsocket or
#     when we're doing a traditional read()/write() loop (trace-cmd's
#     --nosplice argument).
#     
#     With this patch applied we get the same behavior in all situations after
#     setting O_NONBLOCK which also matches the behavior of doing a
#     read()/write() loop instead of splice().
#     
#     This change does have potential of breaking users who don't expect
#     EAGAIN from splice() when SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is not set.  OTOH programs
#     that set O_NONBLOCK and don't anticipate EAGAIN are arguably buggy[2].
