Pull io_uring iov_iter retry fixes from Jens Axboe:
"This adds a helper to save/restore iov_iter state, and modifies
io_uring to use it.
After that is done, we can now kill the iter->truncated addition that
we added for this release. The io_uring change is being overly
cautious with the save/restore/advance, but better safe than sorry and
we can always improve that and reduce the overhead if it proves to be
of concern. The only case to be worried about in this regard is huge
IO, where iteration can take a while to iterate segments.
I spent some time writing test cases, and expanded the coverage quite
a bit from the last posting of this. liburing carries this regression
test case now:
https://git.kernel.dk/cgit/liburing/tree/test/file-verify.c
which exercises all of this. It now also supports provided buffers,
and explicitly tests for end-of-file/device truncation as well.
On top of that, Pavel sanitized the IOPOLL retry path to follow the
exact same pattern as normal IO"

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.
