1) constify iov_iter argument; we are not advancing it in this primitive. 2) cap the amount requested by the amount of data in iov_iter. All existing callers should've been safe, but the check is really cheap and doing it here makes for easier analysis, as well as more consistent semantics among the primitives. 3) don't bother with iterate_iovec(). Explicit loop is not any harder to follow, and we get rid of standalone iterate_iovec() users - it's only used by iterate_and_advance() and (soon to be gone) iterate_all_kinds().

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.
