From: Pavel Begunkov <asml.silence@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/filemap: don't revert iter on -EIOCBQUEUED Currently, if I/O is enqueued for async execution direct paths of generic_file_{read,write}_iter() will always revert the iter. There are no users expecting that, and that is also costly. Leave iterators as is on -EIOCBQUEUED.
