Re: [PATCH 0/7] More efficient I/O

[Jose E. Marchesi]

Hi Eric.

    I first noticed this while working on my NBD driver.  While this
    doesn't completely batch up large I/O, it sure makes 64-bit access
    more efficient.
    
    Eric Blake (7):
      ios: Drop Position column from .info ios
      ios: Pass offset to low-level macros.
      ios: Prove we don't need seek.
      ios: Drop unused seek/tell callbacks.
      ios: Change from getchar to pread device interface.
      ios: Utilize buffer reads.
      ios: Utilize buffer writes.

I went thru the patch series and, in my opinion, it is good for master.
The pread/pwrite like interface is definitely better than the getc/putc.

However, I would like to hear Egeyar's opinion about it, as she wrote
the integer read/write code in ios.c, and therefore is in a better
position than me to do a review in that area.

The patch 'ios: Drop Position column from .info ios' can go in right
now.

Thanks!
