Merge branch 'work.read_write' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull read/write fix from Al Viro: "file_start_write()/file_end_write() got mixed into vfs_iter_write() by accident; that's a deadlock for all existing callers - they already do that, some - quite a bit outside. Easily fixed, fortunately" * 'work.read_write' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: move file_{start,end}_write() out of do_iter_write()
