fix copy_page_from_iter() for compound destinations
hugetlbfs: copy_page_to_iter() can deal with compound pages
copy_page_to_iter(): don't split high-order page in case of ITER_PIPE
expand those iov_iter_advance()...
pipe_get_pages(): switch to append_pipe()
get rid of non-advancing variants
ceph: switch the last caller of iov_iter_get_pages_alloc()
9p: convert to advancing variant of iov_iter_get_pages_alloc()

iter_to_pipe(): switch to advancing variant of iov_iter_get_pages()
block: convert to advancing variants of iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}()
iov_iter: advancing variants of iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}()
iov_iter: saner helper for page array allocation
fold __pipe_get_pages() into pipe_get_pages()
ITER_XARRAY: don't open-code DIV_ROUND_UP()
unify the rest of iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() guts
unify xarray_get_pages() and xarray_get_pages_alloc()
unify pipe_get_pages() and pipe_get_pages_alloc()
iov_iter_get_pages(): sanity-check arguments

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.
