[PATCH 11/11] iov_iter: import single vector iovecs as ITER_UBUF

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

 



Add a special case to __import_iovec(), which imports a single segment
iovec as an ITER_UBUF rather than an ITER_IOVEC. ITER_UBUF is cheaper
to iterate than ITER_IOVEC, and for a single segment iovec, there's no
point in using a segmented iterator.
