Re: [PATCH 1/2] mm: move common segment checks to separate helper function (v6)

Actually thinking about this a little more I don't think we should put this in. Instead this loop should be moved up to fs/read_write.c because these are checks that we want for all filesystems/drivers that use vectored I/O. We'll still need tiny loops to calculate the total I/O length for now in

Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length of the command line the kernel can understand. The benefit of knowing the length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long whi
