clean up readv/writev helpers

clean up readv/writev helpers

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi Al,

this series cleans up how we implement the various vectored read and write
syscalls, as well as the internal iov_iter based APIs.  It then switches
nfsd to use vfs_iter_read/write which cleans up nfsd.  Note that all
exportable file systems already implement ->read_iter and ->write_iter
anyway.

[PATCH 06/10] fs: set kernel address limit in do_loop_readv_writev

[Christoph Hellwig]

This will allow to use all iov_iter based read/write for ITER_KVEC
without having to check if the file has the iter version of the
read/write ops, which will allow us to get rid of a large number
of get_fs/set_fs calls in drivers.

Re: [PATCH 06/10] fs: set kernel address limit in do_loop_readv_writev

[Christoph Hellwig]

Arg.  This patch has been NAKed by Al, but got stuck in the series.
It's not actually needed by the latter patches and can be discarded.

[PATCH 08/10] fs: implement vfs_iter_write using do_iter_write

[Christoph Hellwig]

De-dupliate some code and allow for passing the flags argument to
vfs_iter_write.  Additionally it now properly updates timestamps.

[PATCH 09/10] nfsd: use vfs_iter_read/write

[Christoph Hellwig]

Instead of messing with the address limit to use vfs_read/vfs_writev.

Note that this requires that exported file implement ->read_iter and
->write_iter.  All currently exportable file systems do this.

#work.read_write, as part of #work.uaccess.  I apologize for being late
with #for-next this cycle (putting it very mildly); hopefull I'll have
something working by tonight.  Hell, quite a bit is still a tangled mess
in local queues... ;-/
