Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (63 commits)
  missing bits of "splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses"
  cifs: fix the race in cifs_writev()
  ceph_sync_{,direct_}write: fix an oops on ceph_osdc_new_request() failure
  kill generic_file_buffered_write()
  ocfs2_file_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write()
  ceph_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write()
  xfs_file_buffered_aio_write(): switch to generic_perform_write()
  export generic_perform_write(), start getting rid of generic_file_buffer_write()
  generic_file_direct_write(): get rid of ppos argument
  btrfs_file_aio_write(): get rid of ppos
  kill the 5th argument of generic_file_buffered_write()
  kill the 4th argument of __generic_file_aio_write()
  lustre: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg()
  ocfs2: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg()
  drbd: don't open-code kernel_recvmsg()
  constify blk_rq_map_user_iov() and friends
  lustre: switch to kernel_sendmsg()
  ocfs2: don't open-code kernel_sendmsg()
  take iov_iter stuff to mm/iov_iter.c
  process_vm_access: tidy up a bit
  ...

Mark function as static in process_vm_access.c because it is not used
outside this file.

This eliminates the following warning in mm/process_vm_access.c:

  mm/process_vm_access.c:416:1: warning: no previous prototype for `compat_process_vm_rw' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: remove unneeded asmlinkage - compat_process_vm_rw isn't referenced from asm]

we can calculate that in the caller just fine, TYVM

... rather than open-coding those.  As a side benefit, we get much saner
loop calling those; we can just feed entire pages, instead of the "copy
would span the iovec boundary, let's do it in two loop iterations" mess.

instead of keeping its pieces in separate variables and passing
pointers to all of them...

Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

instead of passing vector size (by value) and index (by reference),
pass the number of elements remaining.  That's all we care about
in these functions by that point.

lift iov one more level out - from process_vm_rw_single_vec to
process_vm_rw_core().  Same story as with the previous commit.
