Hi Jens, Al, Christoph,
The first half of this patchset kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between
truncate, iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a
bio with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
memory corruption[2]. Instead, we use filemap_splice_read(), which invokes
the buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; direct_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads into it
and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or handle it in
filesystem-specific code.
(1) Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed in
direct_splice_read().
(2) Turn do_splice_to() into a helper so that it can be used by overlayfs
and coda to perform the checks on the lower fs.
(3) Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want to
populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it.
(4) Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio().
(5) Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer as
coda doesn't provide ->read_folio().
(6) Direct ->splice_read to direct_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
splice pages.
(7) Change generic_file_splice_read() to just switch between
filemap_splice_read() and direct_splice_read() rather than using
ITER_PIPE.
(8) Make cifs use generic_file_splice_read().
(9) Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read()
was the only user.
The second half of the patchset rolls page-pinning out to the bio struct
and the block layer, using iov_iter_extract_pages() to get pages and noting
with BIO_PAGE_PINNED if the data pages attached to a bio are pinned. If
the data pages come from a non-user-backed iterator, then the pages are
left unpinned and unref'd, relying on whoever set up the I/O to do the
retaining
(10) Don't hold a ref on ZERO_PAGE in iomap_dio_zero().
(11) Fix bio_flagged() so that it doesn't prevent a gcc optimisation.
(12) Make the bio struct carry a pair of flags to indicate the cleanup
mode. BIO_NO_PAGE_REF is replaced with BIO_PAGE_REFFED (indicating
FOLL_GET was used) and BIO_PAGE_PINNED (indicating FOLL_PIN was used)
is added.
BIO_PAGE_REFFED will go away, but at the moment fs/direct-io.c sets it
and this series does not fully address that file.
(13) Add a function, bio_release_page(), to release a page appropriately to
the cleanup mode indicated by the BIO_PAGE_* flags.
(14) Make bio_iov_iter_get_pages() use iov_iter_extract_pages() to retain
the pages appropriately and clean them up later.
(15) Make bio_map_user_iov() also use iov_iter_extract_pages().
I've pushed the patches here also:

Changes:
========
ver #18)
- Split out the cifs bits from the patch the switches
generic_file_splice_read() over to using the non-ITER_PIPE splicing.
- Don't get/put refs on the zeropage in shmem_splice_read().
ver #17)
- Rename do_splice_to() to vfs_splice_read() and export it so that it can
be a helper and make overlayfs and coda use it, allowing duplicate
checks to be removed.
ver #16)
- The filemap_get_pages() changes are now upstream.
- filemap_splice_read() and direct_splice_read() are now upstream.
- iov_iter_extract_pages() is now upstream.
ver #15)
- Fixed up some errors in overlayfs_splice_read().
ver #14)
- Some changes to generic_file_buffered_splice_read():
- Rename to filemap_splice_read() and move to mm/filemap.c.
- Create a helper, pipe_head_buf().
- Use init_sync_kiocb().
- Some changes to generic_file_direct_splice_read():
- Use alloc_pages_bulk_array() rather than alloc_pages_bulk_list().
- Use release_pages() instead of __free_page() in a loop.
- Rename to direct_splice_read().
- Rearrange the patches to implement filemap_splice_read() and
direct_splice_read() separately to changing generic_file_splice_read().
- Don't call generic_file_splice_read() when there isn't a ->read_folio().
- Insert patches to fix read_folio-less cases:
- Make tty, procfs, kernfs and (u)random use direct_splice_read().
- Make overlayfs and coda call down to a lower layer.
- Give shmem its own splice-read that doesn't insert missing pages.
- Fixed a min() with mixed type args on some arches.
ver #13)
- Only use allocation in advance and ITER_BVEC for DIO read-splice.
- Make buffered read-splice get pages directly from the pagecache.
- Alter filemap_get_pages() & co. so that it doesn't need an iterator.
ver #12)
- Added the missing __bitwise on the iov_iter_extraction_t typedef.
- Rebased on -rc7.
- Don't specify FOLL_PIN to pin_user_pages_fast().
- Inserted patch at front to fix race between DIO read and truncation that
caused memory corruption when iov_iter_revert() got called on an
ITER_PIPE iterator[2].
- Inserted a patch after that to remove the now-unused ITER_PIPE and its
helper functions.
- Removed the ITER_PIPE bits from iov_iter_extract_pages().
ver #11)
- Fix iov_iter_extract_kvec_pages() to include the offset into the page in
the returned starting offset.
- Use __bitwise for the extraction flags
ver #10)
- Fix use of i->kvec in iov_iter_extract_bvec_pages() to be i->bvec.
- Drop bio_set_cleanup_mode(), open coding it instead.
ver #9)
- It's now not permitted to use FOLL_PIN outside of mm/, so:
- Change iov_iter_extract_mode() into iov_iter_extract_will_pin() and
return true/false instead of FOLL_PIN/0.
- Drop of folio_put_unpin() and page_put_unpin() and instead call
unpin_user_page() (and put_page()) directly as necessary.
- Make __bio_release_pages() call bio_release_page() instead of
unpin_user_page() as there's no BIO_* -> FOLL_* translation to do.
- Drop the FOLL_* renumbering patch.
- Change extract_flags to extraction_flags.
ver #8)
- Import Christoph Hellwig's changes.
- Split the conversion-to-extraction patch.
- Drop the extract_flags arg from iov_iter_extract_mode().
- Don't default bios to BIO_PAGE_REFFED, but set explicitly.
- Switch FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET when renumbering so PIN is at bit 0.
- Switch BIO_PAGE_PINNED and BIO_PAGE_REFFED so PINNED is at bit 0.
- We should always be using FOLL_PIN (not FOLL_GET) for DIO, so adjust the
patches for that.
ver #7)
- For now, drop the parts to pass the I/O direction to iov_iter_*pages*()
as it turned out to be a lot more complicated, with places not setting
IOCB_WRITE when they should, for example.
- Drop all the patches that changed things other then the block layer's
bio handling. The netfslib and cifs changes can go into a separate
patchset.
- Add support for extracting pages from KVEC-type iterators.
- When extracting from BVEC/KVEC, skip over empty vecs at the front.
ver #6)
- Fix write() syscall and co. not setting IOCB_WRITE.
- Added iocb_is_read() and iocb_is_write() to check IOCB_WRITE.
- Use op_is_write() in bio_copy_user_iov().
- Drop the iterator direction checks from smbd_recv().
- Define FOLL_SOURCE_BUF and FOLL_DEST_BUF and pass them in as part of
gup_flags to iov_iter_get/extract_pages*().
- Replace iov_iter_get_pages*2() with iov_iter_get_pages*() and remove.
- Add back the function to indicate the cleanup mode.
- Drop the cleanup_mode return arg to iov_iter_extract_pages().
- Provide a helper to clean up a page.
- Renumbered FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN and made BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED have
the same numerical values, enforced with an assertion.
- Converted AF_ALG, SCSI vhost, generic DIO, FUSE, splice to pipe, 9P and
NFS.
- Added in the patches to make CIFS do top-to-bottom iterators and use
various of the added extraction functions.
- Added a pair of work-in-progess patches to make sk_buff fragments store
FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN.
ver #5)
- Replace BIO_NO_PAGE_REF with BIO_PAGE_REFFED and split into own patch.
- Transcribe FOLL_GET/PIN into BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED flags.
- Add patch to allow bio_flagged() to be combined by gcc.
ver #4)
- Drop the patch to move the FOLL_* flags to linux/mm_types.h as they're
no longer referenced by linux/uio.h.
- Add ITER_SOURCE/DEST cleanup patches.
- Make iov_iter/netfslib iter extraction patches use ITER_SOURCE/DEST.
- Allow additional gup_flags to be passed into iov_iter_extract_pages().
- Add struct bio patch.
ver #3)
- Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].
ver #2)
- Rolled the extraction cleanup mode query function into the extraction
function, returning the indication through the argument list.
- Fixed patch 4 (extract to scatterlist) to actually use the new
extraction API.
