The zerocopy path ultimately calls iov_iter_get_pages, which defines the step function for ITER_KVECs as simply, return -EFAULT. Taking the non-zerocopy path for ITER_KVECs avoids the unnecessary fallback.
See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150401023311.gl29...@zeniv.linux.org.uk/T/#u for a discussion of why zerocopy for vmalloc data is not a good idea.
