Incorrect type when assign value to varible iov_base.

Oh, for pity sake... Folks, these struct iovec in there are bloody wrong. It's not iovec at all. There are exactly two declarations in the whole drivers/staging/lustre where struct iovec should not be struct kvec. As for everything else, see below.
