... and now we finally can sort out the mess in _copy_mc_to_iter(). Provide a variant of iterate_and_advance() that does *NOT* ignore the return values of bvec, xarray and kvec callbacks, use that in _copy_mc_to_iter(). That gets rid of magic in those callbacks - we used to need it so we'd get at least the right return value in case of failure halfway through. As a bonus, now iterator is advanced by the amount actually copied for all flavours. That's what the callers expect and it used to do that correctly in iovec and xarray cases. However, in kvec and bvec cases the iterator had not been advanced on such failures, breaking the users. Fixed now... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

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.
