[RFC PATCH v2 01/21] fs: Generic function to convert iocb to rw flags

[Daniel Rosenberg]

From: Alessio Balsini <balsini@xxxxxxxxxx>

OverlayFS implements its own function to translate iocb flags into rw
flags, so that they can be passed into another vfs call.
With commit ce71bfea207b4 ("fs: align IOCB_* flags with RWF_* flags")
Jens created a 1:1 matching between the iocb flags and rw flags,
simplifying the conversion.

Reduce the OverlayFS code by making the flag conversion function generic
and reusable.
