If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Howells [ Upstream commit 0e764b9d46071668969410ec5429be0e2f38c6d3 ] The netfs_io_stream::front member is meant to point to the subrequest currently being collected on a stream, but it isn't actually used this way by direct write (which mostly ignores it). However, there's a tracepoint which looks at it. Further, stream->front is actually redundant with stream->subrequests.next. Fix the potential problem in the direct code by just removing the member and using stream->subrequests.next instead, thereby also simplifying the code.
