Pull iov_iter updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contain's David's iov_iter cleanup work to convert the iov_iter
iteration macros to inline functions:
- Remove last_offset from iov_iter as it was only used by ITER_PIPE
- Add a __user tag on copy_mc_to_user()'s dst argument on x86 to
match that on powerpc and get rid of a sparse warning
- Convert iter->user_backed to user_backed_iter() in the sound PCM
driver
- Convert iter->user_backed to user_backed_iter() in a couple of
infiniband drivers
- Renumber the type enum so that the ITER_* constants match the order
in iterate_and_advance*()
- Since the preceding patch puts UBUF and IOVEC at 0 and 1, change
user_backed_iter() to just use the type value and get rid of the
extra flag
- Convert the iov_iter iteration macros to always-inline functions to
make the code easier to follow. It uses function pointers, but they
get optimised away
- Move the check for ->copy_mc to _copy_from_iter() and
copy_page_from_iter_atomic() rather than in memcpy_from_iter_mc()
where it gets repeated for every segment. Instead, we check once
and invoke a side function that can use iterate_bvec() rather than
iterate_and_advance() and supply a different step function
- Move the copy-and-csum code to net/ where it can be in proximity
with the code that uses it
- Fold memcpy_and_csum() in to its two users
- Move csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() out of line and merge in
csum_and_copy_from_iter() since the former is the only caller of
the latter
- Move hash_and_copy_to_iter() to net/ where it can be with its only
caller"

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.
