Hi, I know this is taboo and so on.But, i would like to know the difference between 'vfs_read' (similar to description in linux journal article : http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8110) and the call 'splice_direct_to_actor'. 'vfs_read' is strightforward but i don't understand the api 'splice_direct_to_actor'. Is there any documentation which will explain it to me and where it is used. Because as i see it you can read a file using either of the two 'vfs_read' or 'splice_direct_to_actor'. But, which is better. Regards, Neha
