Commit d9722a47571104f7fa1eeb5ec59044d3607c6070 was part of v13 of my
patches.  This got replaced yesterday by a newer version which may or may not
have made it into linux-next.

This is probably a known bug fixed in the v14 by making shmem have its own
splice-read function.

Can you try this?

(Also, can you include me in the cc list as I'm the author of the patch you
reverted?)

Thanks,
David
