David Howells 92b6cc5d1e netfs: Add iov_iters to (sub)requests to describe various buffers
Add three iov_iter structs:

 (1) Add an iov_iter (->iter) to the I/O request to describe the
     unencrypted-side buffer.

 (2) Add an iov_iter (->io_iter) to the I/O request to describe the
     encrypted-side I/O buffer.  This may be a different size to the buffer
     in (1).

 (3) Add an iov_iter (->io_iter) to the I/O subrequest to describe the part
     of the I/O buffer for that subrequest.

This will allow future patches to point to a bounce buffer instead for
purposes of handling oversize writes, decryption (where we want to save the
encrypted data to the cache) and decompression.

These iov_iters persist for the lifetime of the (sub)request, and so can be
accessed multiple times without worrying about them being deallocated upon
return to the caller.

The network filesystem must appropriately advance the iterator before
terminating the request.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
