first_iovec_segment(): just return address (2022-07-06 20:32:34 -0400)

Two trivial conflicts - one in block/fops.c::dio_bio_write_op()
(one-liner in this series applied to corresponding line in mainline),
another in io_rw_init_file() which got moved from fs/io_uring.c to
io_uring/rw.c.

----------------------------------------------------------------
iov_iter work, part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations.

One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using ->read_iter()
and ->write_iter() instead of ->read()/->write(); new_sync_{read,write}()
has a surprising amount of overhead, in particular inside iocb_flags().
That's why the beginning of the series is in this pile; it's not directly
iov_iter-related, but it's a part of the same work...

----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (13):
No need of likely/unlikely on calls of check_copy_size()
teach iomap_dio_rw() to suppress dsync
btrfs: use IOMAP_DIO_NOSYNC
struct file: use anonymous union member for rcuhead and llist
iocb: delay evaluation of IS_SYNC(...) until we want to check IOCB_DSYNC
keep iocb_flags() result cached in struct file
copy_page_{to,from}_iter(): switch iovec variants to generic
iov_iter_bvec_advance(): don't bother with bvec_iter
iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}(): cap the maxsize with MAX_RW_COUNT
iov_iter: lift dealing with maxpages out of first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
iov_iter: first_{iovec,bvec}_segment() - simplify a bit
iov_iter: massage calling conventions for first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
first_iovec_segment(): just return address
