commit 4fdccaa0d184c202f98d73b24e3ec8eeee88ab8d upstream Add a done_before argument to iomap_dio_rw that indicates how much of the request has already been transferred. When the request succeeds, we report that done_before additional bytes were tranferred. This is useful for finishing a request asynchronously when part of the request has already been completed synchronously. We'll use that to allow iomap_dio_rw to be used with page faults disabled: when a page fault occurs while submitting a request, we synchronously complete the part of the request that has already been submitted. The caller can then take care of the page fault and call iomap_dio_rw again for the rest of the request, passing in the number of bytes already tranferred.

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.
