Ok. Yes you right. I've prepared patches against vfs.git#for-next(48a0c62) but
it is too old. Will rebase. Also it is reasonable to fold my fs-xxx
conversion to one combo patch similar to (d04cfe7840)

I'm not sure I have get your point about ocfs2 because it does
iov_iter_truncate() right after generic_write_checks()
But nfs definitely has a bug because iter was not truncated after generic_write_checks
->nfs_file_direct_write
->generic_write_checks(file, &pos, &count);
dreq->bytes_left = count;
task_io_account_write(count);
->nfs_direct_write_schedule_iovec(dreq, iter, pos);
###Ignore dreq->bytes_left(ala count) and submit non truncated iter
