Merge branch 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
"iov_iter cleanups and fixes.
There are followups, but this is what had sat in -next this cycle. IMO
the macro forest in there became much thinner and easier to follow..."
* 'work.iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (37 commits)
csum_and_copy_to_pipe_iter(): leave handling of csum_state to caller
clean up copy_mc_pipe_to_iter()
pipe_zero(): we don't need no stinkin' kmap_atomic()...
iov_iter: clean csum_and_copy_...() primitives up a bit
copy_page_from_iter(): don't need kmap_atomic() for kvec/bvec cases
copy_page_to_iter(): don't bother with kmap_atomic() for bvec/kvec cases
iterate_xarray(): only of the first iteration we might get offset != 0
pull handling of ->iov_offset into iterate_{iovec,bvec,xarray}
iov_iter: make iterator callbacks use base and len instead of iovec
iov_iter: make the amount already copied available to iterator callbacks
iov_iter: get rid of separate bvec and xarray callbacks
iov_iter: teach iterate_{bvec,xarray}() about possible short copies
iterate_bvec(): expand bvec.h macro forest, massage a bit
iov_iter: unify iterate_iovec and iterate_kvec
iov_iter: massage iterate_iovec and iterate_kvec to logics similar to iterate_bvec
iterate_and_advance(): get rid of magic in case when n is 0
csum_and_copy_to_iter(): massage into form closer to csum_and_copy_from_iter()
iov_iter: replace iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() with iterator-advancing variant
[xarray] iov_iter_npages(): just use DIV_ROUND_UP()
iov_iter_npages(): don't bother with iterate_all_kinds()
