I know it's frustration for your if maintainers give contradicting guidance, but this is really an awful interface. Not only the pointless indirection which make the interface hard to use, but limiting it to not support vectored I/O makes it pretty useless. I guess I need to do a little read-up on why Pavel wants this, but from the block/fs perspective the previous interface made so much more sense.
