Currently we don't copy the iovecs when we punt to async context. This can be problematic for applications that store the iovec on the stack, as they often assume that it's safe to let the iovec go out of scope as soon as IO submission has been called. This isn't always safe, as we will re-copy the iovec once we're in async context. Make this 100% safe by copying the iovec just once. With this change, applications may safely store the iovec on the stack for all cases. Reported-by: 李通洲 <carter.li@eoitek.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
