Oh, thanks for pointing that out. I was thinking about Direct IO, and
would have overlooked that vmsplice need FOLL_LONGTERM.

I'm still quite vague about which parts of vmsplice are in pipe buffers
(and therefore will *not* get FOLL_PIN pages) and which are in user space
buffers. Just haven't spent enough time with vmsplice yet, hopefully it
will clear up with some study of the code.


thanks,
