Subject: Re: [PATCHSET v3 0/3] Add ability to save/restore iov_iter state
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2021 04:47:59 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

	Jens, may I politely inquire why is struct io_rw playing
these games with overloading ->rw.addr, instead of simply having
struct io_buffer *kbuf in it?

	Another question: what the hell are the rules for
REQ_F_BUFFER_SELECT?  The first time around io_iov_buffer_select()
will
	* read iovec from ->rw.addr
	* replace iovec.iov_base with value derived from
->buf_index
	* cap iovec.iov_len with value derived from ->buf_index
Next time around it will use the same base *AND* replace the
length with the value used to cap the original.
	Is that deliberate?
