Hi Jens,

If you decide not to take my patches in this merge window, would you have =
any
objection to my patches 1-3 and 10-11 in this series going through Steve
French's cifs tree so that he can take my cifs iteratorisation patches?

Patches 1-3 would add filemap_splice_read() and direct_splice_read(), but =
not
connect them up to anything and 10-11 would add iov_iter_extract_pages(). =
 I
can then give Steve a patch to make cifs use them as part of my patches fo=
r
that.

This would only affect cifs.  See my iov-cifs branch:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log=
/?h=3Diov-cifs

for an example of how this would look.

David
