To be exact, this code only enforces that the iov_iter is at the beginning of the current entry. As far as I can tell, iov_iter doesn't track its position overall, so there's no way to tell whether the current entry is the first one. > As you say, maybe not shorter, but a lot more straightforward. > > That said, looking through the patch series, I see at least one other > issue.

It also happens to add exactly one new bit to VALID_OPEN_FLAGS, so the BUILD_BUG_ON() in fcntl_init() didn't catch it. > I would want others to take a look in case there's something else.

That's all I ask. I'll fix your comments and wait a few days to get some more feedback on the fs side before I resend the patch bomb. Thanks, Omar
