  first_iovec_segment(): just return address (2022-07-06 20:32:34 -0400)

	Two trivial conflicts - one in block/fops.c::dio_bio_write_op()
(one-liner in this series applied to corresponding line in mainline),
another in io_rw_init_file() which got moved from fs/io_uring.c to
io_uring/rw.c.

----------------------------------------------------------------
iov_iter work, part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations.

	One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using ->read_iter()
and ->write_iter() instead of ->read()/->write(); new_sync_{read,write}()
has a surprising amount of overhead, in particular inside iocb_flags().
That's why the beginning of the series is in this pile; it's not directly
iov_iter-related, but it's a part of the same work...

----------------------------------------------------------------
Al Viro (13):
      No need of likely/unlikely on calls of check_copy_size()
      teach iomap_dio_rw() to suppress dsync
      btrfs: use IOMAP_DIO_NOSYNC
      struct file: use anonymous union member for rcuhead and llist
      iocb: delay evaluation of IS_SYNC(...) until we want to check IOCB_DSYNC
      keep iocb_flags() result cached in struct file
      copy_page_{to,from}_iter(): switch iovec variants to generic
      iov_iter_bvec_advance(): don't bother with bvec_iter
      iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}(): cap the maxsize with MAX_RW_COUNT
      iov_iter: lift dealing with maxpages out of first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
      iov_iter: first_{iovec,bvec}_segment() - simplify a bit
      iov_iter: massage calling conventions for first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
      first_iovec_segment(): just return address
