This behaves like preadv2/pwritev2 with offset == -1, it'll use (and update) the current file position. This obviously comes with the caveat that if the application has multiple read/writes in flight, then the end result will not be as expected. This is similar to threads sharing a file descriptor and doing IO using the current file position. Since this feature isn't easily detectable by doing a read or write, add a feature flags, IORING_FEAT_RW_CUR_POS, to allow applications to detect presence of this feature.

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.
