Add copy_to_iter(), copy_from_iter() and iov_iter_zero()

2014-10-09T06:39:03Z

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

fuse: honour max_read and max_write in direct_io mode

2014-09-27T01:16:51Z

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "Mostly minor fixes this time around.

Fix 32-bit regression in block device read(2)

2014-06-26T20:02:28Z

blkdev_read_iter() wants to cap the iov_iter by the amount of data remaining to the end of device. That's what iov_iter_truncate() is for (trim iter->count if it's above the given limit). So far, so good, but the argument of iov_iter_truncate() is size_t, so on 32bit boxen (in case of a large device) we end up with that upper limit truncated down to 32 bits *before* comparing it with iter->count. Easily fixed by making iov_iter_truncate() take 64bit argument - it does the right thing after such change (we only reach the assignment in there when the current value of iter->count is greater than the limit, i.e. for anything that would get truncated we don't reach the assignment at all) and that argument is not the new value of iter->count - it's an upper limit for such. The overhead of passing u64 is not an issue - the thing is inlined, so callers passing size_t won't pay any penalty.

bio_vec-backed iov_iter

2014-05-06T21:39:45Z

New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind of iov_iter. Note that bio_vec is just a triple - there's nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK. Next target: ->splice_write()...

lustre: get rid of messing with iovecs

2014-05-06T21:39:44Z

* switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter * keep a pointer to iov_iter instead of iov/nr_segs * do not modify iovecs; use iov_iter_truncate()/iov_iter_advance() and a new primitive - iov_iter_reexpand() (expand previously truncated iterator) istead. * (racy) check for lustre VMAs intersecting with iovecs kept for now as for_each_iov() loop.

iov_iter_truncate()

2014-05-06T21:32:54Z

Now It Can Be Done(tm) - we don't need to do iov_shorten() in generic_file_direct_write() anymore, now that all ->direct_IO() instances are converted to proper iov_iter methods and honour iter->count and iter->iov_offset properly. Get rid of count/ocount arguments of generic_file_direct_write(), while we are at it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
