Add a bvec array pointer and an iterator to netfs_io_request for either holding a copy of a DIO iterator or a list of all the bits of buffer pointed to by a DIO iterator. There are two problems: Firstly, if an iovec-class iov_iter is passed to ->read_iter() or ->write_iter(), this cannot be passed directly to kernel_sendmsg() or kernel_recvmsg() as that may cause locking recursion if a fault is generated, so we need to keep track of the pages involved separately. Secondly, if the I/O is asynchronous, we must copy the iov_iter describing the buffer before returning to the caller as it may be immediately deallocated.

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.
