[PATCHv4 5/8] iomap: simplify direct io validity check

From: Keith Busch <hidden>
Date: 2025-08-27 14:13:16
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, linux-xfs
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), filesystems [iomap], the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Keith Busch <kbusch@kernel.org>

The block layer checks all the segments for validity later, so no need
for an early check. Just reduce it to a simple position and total length
check, and defer the more invasive segment checks to the block layer.
