bio: add bvec_iter rewind API
Some ->bi_end_io handlers (for example: pi_verify or decrypt handlers) need to know original data vector, but after bio traverse io-stack it may be advanced, splited and relocated many times so it is hard to guess original iterator. Let's add 'bi_done' conter which accounts number of bytes iterator was advanced during it's evolution. Later end_io handler may easily restore original iterator by rewinding iterator to iter->bi_done. Note: this change makes sizeof (struct bvec_iter) multiple to 8 Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> [hch: switched to true/false return] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
