Too many references: cannot splice

[Luis Ugalde]

Hi,

Could you please have a look at  https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/2/538 and see
if this makes any sense to you? I've been checking kernel changes
between linux_3.16.7 and linux_3.16.36, and this has popped out. Could this
be the reason for the "too many references" errors?

Regards,

Luis Ugalde.
