Subject: [PATCH 0/7] smb3: Add iter helpers and use iov_iters down to the
 network transport


Hi Steve, Al,

Here's an updated version of a subset of my branch to make the cifs/smb3
driver pass iov_iters down to the lowest layers where they can be passed to
the network transport.

Al: Could you look at the first two patches, that add extract_iter_to_iter()
to see about decanting iterators of various types (but that might have to be
lost) into iterators that can be held on to (pinning pages in the process),
and iov_iter_scan() which passes each partial page of an iterator to a scanner
function to do something with (such as create an sglist element for).

Possibly I should add an extract_iter_to_sglist() - I'm doing that in a number
of places.

Steve: assuming Al is okay with the iov_iter patches, can you look at taking
this into your tree (or should it go through mine?)?

I've pushed the patches here also:
