From 26978b8b4d83c46f4310b253db70fa9e65149e7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2014 14:08:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] give ->direct_IO() a copy of iov_iter the thing is, we want to advance what's given to ->direct_IO() as we are forming the request; however, the callers care about the amount of data actually transferred, not the amount we tried to transfer. It's more convenient to allow ->direct_IO() instances do use iov_iter_advance() on the copy of iov_iter, leaving the actual advancing of the original to caller.
