Replace direct modifications to vma-&gt;vm_flags with calls to modifier
functions to be able to track flag changes and to keep vma locking
correctness.

Commit e4a0d3e720e7 ("aio: Make it possible to remap aio ring") introduced
a null-deref if mremap is called on an old aio mapping after fork as
mm-&gt;ioctx_table will be set to NULL.

<title>use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers</title>

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

<title>aio: use atomic_try_cmpxchg in __get_reqs_available</title>

<id>38ace0d513d9d2556beca4d07102d25e9a73c53c</id>
<content type='text'>
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg instead of atomic_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old
in __get_reqs_available.  x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF
flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move
instruction in front of cmpxchg).

Also, atomic_try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when
cmpxchg fails, enabling further code simplifications.

No functional change intended.

  hints after all"

Pull NVMe write streams removal from Jens Axboe:
 "This removes the write streams support in NVMe. No vendor ever really
  shipped working support for this, and they are not interested in
  supporting it.
