As mentioned last time a big fat NAK for this one. We generally do not dirty kernel pages anywhere, so a flag that must alway be set for default behavior just to prepare for a highy hypothetical user that in the future might want to abuse the interface is a no-go.
Just make the dirtying behavior dependent on the iov_iter type: dirty for ITER_IOVEC and do nothing for ITER_KVEC and ITER_BVEC. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
