The following changes since commit f2906aa863381afb0015a9eb7fefad885d4e5a56: Linux 5.19-rc1 (2022-06-05 17:18:54 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git tags/pull-work.iov_iter-base for you to fetch changes up to dd45ab9dd28c82fc495d98cd9788666fd8d76b99: first_iovec_segment(): just return address (2022-07-06 20:32:34 -0400) Two trivial conflicts - one in block/fops.c::dio_bio_write_op() (one-liner in this series applied to corresponding line in mainline), another in io_rw_init_file() which got moved from fs/io_uring.c to io_uring/rw.c. ---------------------------------------------------------------- iov_iter work, part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations. One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using ->read_iter() and ->write_iter() instead of ->read()/->write(); new_sync_{read,write}() has a surprising amount of overhead, in particular inside iocb_flags(). That's why the beginning of the series is in this pile; it's not directly iov_iter-related, but it's a part of the same work...
