Subject: [git pull] vfs.git iov_iter

	* bio_{map,copy}_user_iov() series; those are cleanups - fixes from
the same pile went into mainline (and stable) in late September.
	* fs/iomap.c iov_iter-related fixes
	* new primitive - iov_iter_for_each_range(); apply a function to
kernel-mapped segments of an iov_iter.  Usable for kvec and bvec ones,
the latter does kmap()/kunmap() around the callback.  _Not_ usable for
iovec- or pipe-backed iov_iter; the latter is not hard to fix if the need
ever appears, the former is by design.  Another related primitive will
have to wait for the next cycle - it passes page + offset + size instead
of pointer + size, and that one will be usable for everything _except_
kvec.  Unfortunately, that one didn't get exposure in -next yet, so...
	* a bit more lustre iov_iter work, including a use case for
iov_iter_for_each_range() (checksum calculation).
	* vhost/scsi leak fix in failure exit.
	* misc cleanups and detritectomy...

  iomap_dio_actor(): fix iov_iter bugs (2017-10-11 22:38:02 -0400)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (21):
      bio_map_user_iov(): switch to iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_advance()
      ... and with iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() it becomes even simpler
      don't rely upon subsequent bio_add_pc_page() calls failing
      bio_map_user_iov(): move alignment check into the main loop
      bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of the iov_for_each()
      blk_rq_map_user_iov(): move iov_iter_advance() down
      move more stuff down into bio_copy_user_iov()
      bio_copy_from_iter(): get rid of copying iov_iter
      bio_map_user_iov(): get rid of copying iov_iter
      bio_copy_user_iov(): saner bio size calculation
      bio_alloc_map_data(): do bmd->iter setup right there
      kill iov_shorten()
      orangefs: remove detritus from struct orangefs_kiocb_s
      xen: don't open-code iov_iter_kvec()
      lnet_return_rx_credits_locked: don't abuse list_entry
      new primitive: iov_iter_for_each_range()
      fix a page leak in vhost_scsi_iov_to_sgl() error recovery
      vhost/scsi: switch to iov_iter_get_pages()
      lustre: switch struct ksock_conn to iov_iter
      switch ksocknal_lib_recv_...() to use of iov_iter_for_each_range()
      iomap_dio_actor(): fix iov_iter bugs
