Merge branch 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
- bio_{map,copy}_user_iov() series; those are cleanups - fixes from the
same pile went into mainline (and stable) in late September.
- fs/iomap.c iov_iter-related fixes
- new primitive - iov_iter_for_each_range(), which applies a function
to kernel-mapped segments of an iov_iter.
Usable for kvec and bvec ones, the latter does kmap()/kunmap() around
the callback. _Not_ usable for iovec- or pipe-backed iov_iter; the
latter is not hard to fix if the need ever appears, the former is by
design.
Another related primitive will have to wait for the next cycle - it
passes page + offset + size instead of pointer + size, and that one
will be usable for everything _except_ kvec. Unfortunately, that one
didn't get exposure in -next yet, so...
- a bit more lustre iov_iter work, including a use case for
iov_iter_for_each_range() (checksum calculation)
- vhost/scsi leak fix in failure exit
- misc cleanups and detritectomy...
* 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (21 commits)
iomap_dio_actor(): fix iov_iter bugs
switch ksocknal_lib_recv_...() to use of iov_iter_for_each_range()
lustre: switch struct ksock_conn to iov_iter
vhost/scsi: switch to iov_iter_get_pages()
fix a page leak in vhost_scsi_iov_to_sgl() error recovery
new primitive: iov_iter_for_each_range()
lnet_return_rx_credits_locked: don't abuse list_entry
xen: don't open-code iov_iter_kvec()
orangefs: remove detritus from struct orangefs_kiocb_s
kill iov_shorten()
bio_alloc_map_data(): do bmd->iter setup right there
bio_copy_user_iov(): saner bio size calculation
bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of copying iov_iter
bio_copy_from_iter(): get rid of copying iov_iter
move more stuff down into bio_copy_user_iov()
blk_rq_map_user_iov(): move iov_iter_advance() down
bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of the iov_for_each()
bio_map_user_iov(): move alignment check into the main loop
don't rely upon subsequent bio_add_pc_page() calls failing
... and with iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() it becomes even simpler
