Subject: [PATCH 0/7] cifs: Use iov_iters down to the network transport


Hi Steve,

Here's a second version of a subset of my cifs-experimental branch.  It alters
the cifs driver to pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers where they can be
passed to the network transport.

I've fixed the RDMA code to work, fixed a few more bugs and addressed most of
checkpatch moans.  Note that there's a bunch of stuff #if'd out in patch 5
that get removed in patch 6 - otherwise diff produces an awful mess.

There's also a couple of changes in patch 7 from Namjae Jeon to make
soft-iWarp work.  Feel free to discard that patch if you get a better version
from him.

I've pushed the patches here also:
