[PATCH V9 09/33] iov_iter: add a shorten call

From: Dave Kleikamp
Date: Wed Oct 16 2013 - 10:17:36 EST


From: Zach Brown <zab@xxxxxxxxx>

The generic direct write path wants to shorten its memory vector. It
does this when it finds that it has to perform a partial write due to
LIMIT_FSIZE. .direct_IO() always performs IO on all of the referenced
memory because it doesn't have an argument to specify the length of the
IO.

We add an iov_iter operation for this so that the generic path can ask
to shorten the memory vector without having to know what kind it is.
We're happy to shorten the kernel copy of the iovec array, but we refuse
to shorten the bio_vec array and return an error in this case.
