Convert code using iocb->ki_left to use the more generic iov_length() call.No way. We need to reduce the numer of iovec traversals, not adding more of them.
ok, I can work on a version of this that uses struct iodesc. Maybe
something like this?
struct iodesc {
struct iovec *iov;
unsigned long nr_segs;
size_t nbytes;
};
I suppose it's worth doing the iodesc thing along with this patchset
anyway, since it'll avoid an extra round of interface churn.
