Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] cifs: Use iov_iters down to the network transport


Hi Steve,

Here's a third 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.

ver #3)
- I fixed some things in the RDMA interface after running xfstests.  It now
  correctly chops up requests so that they'll actually fit within the
  available SGE slots, both for short and bulk requests.

- I also fixed both the cifs_readahead and cifs_writepages algorithms, so
  those now work properly - and I found and fixed a memory leak too.

cifs over softRoCE RDMA got as far as generic/138 before the RXE driver
  deadlocked itself.  I've posted a bug report for that.  Lockdep spotted
  the bug right away on mount.

cifs over softIWarp RDMA got as far as generic/006 before triggering a UAF
in the reconnect code, spotted by KASAN.  Both this and the above fail on
the vanilla kernel also.

Beyond the 6 main patches, there are two patches which add some trace
points (if they look of interest to you, I can properly fill out the commit
log) and the patch to make softiwarp work - all three of which can be
dropped.

I've pushed the patches here also:
