Christian,

Shall we just stash this at the bottom of vfs.rw and fixup
"move file_{start,end}_write() into vfs_iter_write()" patch?

I see no strong reason to expedite a fix for something rare
that has been broken for a long time.

If Martin decides to expedite it, we can alway rebase vfs.rw
once the fix is merged to master.

Thanks,
Amir.
