splice: fix infinite loop in generic_file_splice_read()
linux$ git describe --contains 8191ecd1d14c6914c660dfa007154860a7908857
v2.6.25-rc9~29^2~1
It appears the patch in question was included upstream as of v2.6.25,
thus only the Hardy 8.04 release is affected. Thus, I'm marking the
actively developed linux task as Fix Released. I've opened a Hardy
nomination for this patch to be considered for a Hardy SRU (stable
release update). I'll submit this patch to the mailing list shortly.
Thanks.

Hello,
we are experiencing sporadic kernel lockups on a Ubuntu Hardy LTS
fileserver which produces serious downtimes. The following message can
be found in our kern.log and dmesg:

It seems to me that the following patch is related to and most probably
fixes the problem:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.25-
rc8/2.6.25-rc8-mm2/broken-out/generic_file_splice_read-fix-lockups.patch
Can you provide this patch as a security/stability update for the Ubuntu
Hardy LTS Kernel please?
