The callers of vfs_iter_write() are required to hold file_start_write().
file_start_write() is a no-op for the S_ISBLK() case, but it is really
needed when the backing file is a regular file.
We are going to move file_{start,end}_write() into vfs_iter_write(), but
we need to fix this first, so that the fix could be backported to stable
kernels.

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.
