<title>writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h</title>

<id>66114cad64bf76a155fec1f0fff0de771cf909d5</id>
<content type='text'>
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

<title>direct_IO: use iov_iter_rw() instead of rw everywhere</title>

<content type='text'>
The rw parameter to direct_IO is redundant with iov_iter-&gt;type, and
treated slightly differently just about everywhere it's used: some users
do rw &amp; WRITE, and others do rw == WRITE where they should be doing a
bitwise check. Simplify this with the new iov_iter_rw() helper, which
always returns either READ or WRITE.
