From: Michael Halcrow eCryptfs is currently just passing through splice reads to the lower filesystem. This is obviously incorrect behavior; the decrypted data is what needs to be read, not the lower encrypted data. I cannot think of any good reason for eCryptfs to implement splice_read, so this patch points the eCryptfs fops splice_read to use generic_file_splice_read.
