iov_iter: make the amount already copied available to iterator callbacks
Making iterator macros keep track of the amount of data copied is pretty easy and it has several benefits: 1) we no longer need the mess like (from += v.iov_len) - v.iov_len in the callbacks - initial value + total amount copied so far would do just fine. 2) less obviously, we no longer need to remember the initial amount of data we wanted to copy; the loops in iterator macros are along the lines of wanted = bytes; while (bytes) { copy some bytes -= copied if short copy break } bytes = wanted - bytes; Replacement is offs = 0; while (bytes) { copy some offs += copied bytes -= copied if short copy break } bytes = offs; That wouldn't be a win per se, but unlike the initial value of bytes, the amount copied so far *is* useful in callbacks. 3) in some cases (csum_and_copy_..._iter()) we already had offs manually maintained by the callbacks. With that change we can drop that. Less boilerplate and more readable code... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
