afs_extract_data() sets up a temporary iov_iter and passes it to AF_RXRPC
each time it is called to describe the remaining buffer to be filled.
Instead:
(1) Put an iterator in the afs_call struct.
(2) Set the iterator for each marshalling stage to load data into the
appropriate places. A number of convenience functions are provided to
this end (eg. afs_extract_to_buf()).
This iterator is then passed to afs_extract_data().
(3) Use the new ITER_XARRAY iterator when reading data to load directly
into the inode's pages without needing to create a list of them.
This will allow O_DIRECT calls to be supported in future patches.

README
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.
