Subject: [PATCH v4 0/3] random: convert to using iters, for Al Viro

Hi Al,

I've incorporated your suggestions into Jens' patches and simplified a
lot of the control flow. Could you take a look at these and let me know
if it looks sane? In particular, I'm using the property you mentioned in
which copy_{to,from}_iter() can take a maximum and do less if the
remaining length is too small.

Jason

  random: convert to using fops->read_iter()
  random: convert to using fops->write_iter()
  random: wire up fops->splice_{read,write}_iter()
