block: remove blkdev_writepages

2022-11-16T18:32:53Z

While the block device code should switch to implementing ->writepages instead of ->writepage eventually, the current implementation is entirely pointless as it does the same looping over ->writepage as the generic code if no ->writepages is present. Remove blkdev_writepages so that we can eventually unexport generic_writepages.

new iov_iter flavour - ITER_UBUF

2022-08-09T02:37:15Z

Equivalent of single-segment iovec. Initialized by iov_iter_ubuf(), checked for by iter_is_ubuf(), otherwise behaves like ITER_IOVEC ones. We are going to expose the things like ->write_iter() et.al. to those in subsequent commits. New predicate (user_backed_iter()) that is true for ITER_IOVEC and ITER_UBUF; places like direct-IO handling should use that for checking that pages we modify after getting them from iov_iter_get_pages() would need to be dirtied. DO NOT assume that replacing iter_is_iovec() with user_backed_iter() will solve all problems - there's code that uses iter_is_iovec() to decide how to poke around in iov_iter guts and for that the predicate replacement obviously won't suffice.

Pull vfs iov_iter updates from Al Viro: "Part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations. One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using ->read_iter() and ->write_iter() instead of ->read()/->write(). new_sync_{read,write}() has a surprising amount of overhead, in particular inside iocb_flags().

block: Use the new blk_opf_t type

2022-07-14T18:14:30Z

Use the new blk_opf_t type for arguments and variables that represent request flags or a bitwise combination of a request operation and request flags. Rename the function arguments and also a structure member that hold a request operation and flags from 'rw' into 'opf'. This patch does not change any functionality.

block: relax direct io memory alignment

2022-06-27T12:29:11Z

Use the address alignment requirements from the block_device for direct io instead of requiring addresses be aligned to the block size. User space can discover the alignment requirements from the dma_alignment queue attribute. User space can specify any hardware compatible DMA offset for each segment, but every segment length is still required to be a multiple of the block size.
