commit 79025e727a846be6fd215ae9cdb654368ac3f9a6 upstream.
Now that random/urandom is using {read,write}_iter, we can wire it up to
using the generic splice handlers.
Fixes: 36e2c7421f ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit ops")

[Jason: added the splice_write path. Note that sendfile() and such still
does not work for read, though it does for write, because of a file
type restriction in splice_direct_to_actor(), which I'll address
separately.]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
