From: Keith Busch <kbusch@xxxxxxxxxx> The most significant change from v4 is the alignment is now checked prior to building the bio. This gets the expected EINVAL error for misaligned userspace iovecs in all cases now (Eric Biggers). I've removed the legacy fs change, so only iomap filesystems get to use this alignement capability (Christoph Hellwig). The block fops check for alignment returns a bool now (Damien). Adjusted some comments, docs, and other minor style issues. Reviews added for unchanged or trivially changed patches, removed reviews for ones that changed more significantly. As before, I tested using 'fio' with forced misaligned user buffers on raw block, xfs, and ext4 (example raw block profile below).
