Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
"The most notable changes are:
- iomap no longer invalidates the page cache when performing a direct
read, since doing so is unnecessary and the old directio code
doesn't do that either.
- iomap embraced the use of returning ENOTBLK from a direct write to
trigger falling back to a buffered write since ext4 already did
this and btrfs wants it for their port.
- iomap falls back to buffered writes if we're doing a direct write
and the page cache invalidation after the flush fails; this was
necessary to handle a corner case in the btrfs port.
- Remove email virus scanner detritus that was accidentally included
in yesterday's pull request. Clearly I need(ed) to update my git
branch checker scripts. :("

iomap: Only invalidate page cache pages on direct IO writes
iomap: Make sure iomap_end is called after iomap_begin
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
