[PATCH 09/14] fs: don't change the address limit for ->write_iter in __kernel_write

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If we write to a file that implements ->write_iter there is no need
to change the address limit if we send a kvec down.  Implement that
case, and prefer it over using plain ->write with a changed address
limit if available.
