Jagadeesh Krishnanjanappa 93b0d65793 iscsitarget: resolve build error with linux kernel 4.8
The below changes in kernel source, triggered iscsitarget
build fail with linux kernel v4.8.

1. An extra 'flags' argument has been passed to vfs_readv/vfs_writev
   syscalls in v4.8. So, set this argument to "0" for now
   (as there is no real need for that).

   res = vfs_writev(file, (struct iovec __user *) iop, count, &off);
         ^~~~~~~~~~

2. Redefine dropped PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} definitions,
   as they have been dropped with v4.8

   bio structure, hence remove "rw" argument.

6.
   A. The "size" argument has been dropped from sock_recvmsg syscall in v4.8,
      as all callers have it equal to msg_data_left(msg).
   B. 'struct user_msghdr' is being used for userland-side msghdr instead
      of 'struct msghdr', which is used for kernel-side msghdr in linux v3.19
      and above, so typecase it while calling sock_recvmsg syscall.

meta-networking
===============

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
packages and configuration.  It should be useful directly on top of
oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded.  It should be primarily useful
to the following groups:

      - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
        bridge / switch).

      - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
        anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies
------------

This layer depends on:

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core.git
branch: master
revision: HEAD

For some recipes, the meta-oe layer is required:

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
subdirectory: meta-oe
branch: master
revision: HEAD

URI: git://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
subdirectory: meta-python
branch: master
revision: HEAD

Maintenance
-----------

Please see the MAINTAINERS file for information on contacting the
maintainers of this layer, as well as instructions for submitting patches.
