Pull splice fixups from Al Viro: "A couple of fixups for interaction of pipe-backed iov_iter with O_DIRECT reads + constification of a couple of primitives in uio.h missed by previous rounds. Kudos to davej - his fuzzing has caught those bugs" * 'work.splice_read' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: [btrfs] fix check_direct_IO() for non-iovec iterators constify iov_iter_count() and iter_is_iovec() fix ITER_PIPE interaction with direct_IO

new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backed

2016-10-05T22:23:36Z

iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter() copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible. iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages() and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance() will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to. New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those. pipe should be locked all along. Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones; in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing copied there. In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like ->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users, as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

get rid of separate multipage fault-in primitives

2016-09-27T22:12:24Z

* the only remaining callers of "short" fault-ins are just as happy with generic variants (both in lib/iov_iter.c); switch them to multipage variants, kill the "short" ones * rename the multipage variants to now available plain ones. * get rid of compat macro defining iov_iter_fault_in_multipage_readable by expanding it in its only user.
