[PATCH v2 1/5] direct-io: don't dirty ITER_BVEC pages on read

From: Omar Sandoval
Date: Fri Nov 21 2014 - 05:17:20 EST


Reads through the iov_iter infrastructure for kernel pages shouldn't be dirtied
by the direct I/O code.

This is based on Dave Kleikamp's and Ming Lei's previously posted patches.
