Subject[PATCH v3 1/4] fs: kiocb: introduce IOCB_DONT_DIRTY_PAGE flag for direct IO
Date
When direct IO is submitted from kernel, it is often unnecessary
to dirty pages, for example of loop, dirtying pages have been
considered in the upper filesystem(over loop) side already, and
they don't need to be dirtied again.

So this patch introduces IOCB_DONT_DIRTY_PAGE flag for direct IO,
and other ITER_BVEC and ITER_KVEC cases might benefit from it too.

The patch is based on previous Dave's patch.
