David Howells bd80d8a80e afs: Use ITER_XARRAY for writing
Use a single ITER_XARRAY iterator to describe the portion of a file to be
transmitted to the server rather than generating a series of small
ITER_BVEC iterators on the fly.  This will make it easier to implement AIO
in afs.

In theory we could maybe use one giant ITER_BVEC, but that means
potentially allocating a huge array of bio_vec structs (max 256 per page)
when in fact the pagecache already has a structure listing all the relevant
pages (radix_tree/xarray) that can be walked over.

README

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.
