From: Zach Brown <zab@xxxxxxxxx>
Right now only callers of generic_perform_write() pack their iovec
arguments into an iov_iter structure. All the callers higher up in the
stack work on raw iovec arguments.
This patch introduces the use of the iov_iter abstraction higher up the
stack. Private generic path functions are changed to operation on
iov_iter instead of on raw iovecs. Exported interfaces that take iovecs
immediately pack their arguments into an iov_iter and call into the
shared functions.
File operation struct functions are added with iov_iter as an argument
so that callers to the generic file system functions can specify
abstract memory rather than iovec arrays only.
Almost all of this patch only transforms arguments and shouldn't change
functionality. The buffered read path is the exception. We add a
read_actor function which uses the iov_iter helper functions instead of
operating on each individual iovec element. This may improve
performance as the iov_iter helper can copy multiple iovec elements from
one mapped page cache page.
As always, the direct IO path is special. Sadly, it may still be
cleanest to have it work on the underlying memory structures directly
instead of working through the iov_iter abstraction.
