1 Git bisect if officially the coolest thing i've seen in a long time. I
2 wish i would have known about it earlier...

6 e5a4b0bb803b39a36478451eae53a880d2663d5b is the first bad commit

11 switch memcpy_to_msg() and skb_copy{,_and_csum}_datagram_msg() to
12 primitives
13
14 ... making both non-draining. That means that tcp_recvmsg() becomes
15 non-draining. And _that_ would break iscsit_do_rx_data() unless we
16 a) make sure tcp_recvmsg() is uniformly non-draining (it is)
17 b) make sure it copes with arbitrary (including shifted)
18 iov_iter (it does, all it uses is iov_iter primitives)
19 c) make iscsit_do_rx_data() initialize ->msg_iter only once.
20
21 Fortunately, (c) is doable with minimal work and we are rid of one
22 the two places where kernel send/recvmsg users would be unhappy with
23 non-draining behaviour.
24
25 Actually, that makes all but one of ->recvmsg() instances
26 iov_iter-clean.
27 The exception is skcipher_recvmsg() and it also isn't hard to convert
28 to primitives (iov_iter_get_pages() is needed there). That'll wait
29 a bit - there's some interplay with ->sendmsg() path for that one.
