Subject: [PATCH 4.4 23/28] Dont feed anything but regular iovecs to blk_rq_map_user_iov

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

commit a0ac402cfcdc904f9772e1762b3fda112dcc56a0 upstream.

In theory we could map other things, but there's a reason that function
is called "user_iov".  Using anything else (like splice can do) just
confuses it.
