It's non-obvious how retry is done for block backed files, when it happens off the kiocb done path. It also makes it tricky to deal with the iov_iter handling. Just mark the req as needing a reissue, and handling it from the submission path instead. This makes it directly obvious that we're not re-importing the iovec from userspace past the submit point, and it means that we can just reuse our usual -EAGAIN retry path from the read/write handling. At some point in the future, we'll gain the ability to always reliably return -EAGAIN through the stack. A previous attempt on the block side didn't pan out and got reverted, hence the need to check for this information out-of-band right now. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

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.
