The v9fs file operations were missing the splice_read operations, which
breaks sendfile() of files on such a filesystem. I discovered this while
trying to load an eBPF program using iproute2 inside a 'virtme' environment
which uses 9pfs for the virtual file system. iproute2 relies on sendfile()
with an AF_ALG socket to hash files, which was erroring out in the virtual
environment.
Since generic_file_splice_read() seems to just implement splice_read in
terms of the read_iter operation, I simply added the generic implementation
to the file operations, which fixed the error I was seeing. A quick grep
indicates that this is what most other file systems do as well.

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.
