Hi Al, Christoph, Here are patches clean up some use of READ/WRITE and ITER_SOURCE/DEST, patches to provide support for extracting pages from an iov_iter and a patch to use the primary extraction function in the block layer bio code. I've also added a bunch of other conversions and had a tentative stab at the networking code. The patches make the following changes: (1) Deal with switching from using the iterator data_source to indicate the I/O direction to deriving this from other information, eg.: IOCB_WRITE, IOMAP_WRITE and the REQ_OP_* number. This allows iov_iter_rw() to be removed eventually. (2) Define FOLL_SOURCE_BUF and FOLL_DEST_BUF and pass these into iov_iter_get_pages*() to indicate the I/O direction with regards to how the buffer described by the iterator is to be used. This is included in the gup_flags passed in with Logan's patches. Calls to iov_iter_get_pages*2() are replaced with calls to iov_iter_get_pages*() and the former is removed. (3) Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages() to replace iov_iter_get_pages*() that gets refs, pins or just lists the pages as appropriate to the iterator type and the I/O direction. Add a function, iov_iter_extract_mode() that will indicate from the iterator type and the I/O direction how the cleanup is to be performed, returning FOLL_GET, FOLL_PIN or 0. Add a function, folio_put_unpin(), and a wrapper, page_put_unpin(), that take a page and the return from iov_iter_extract_mode() and do the right thing to clean up the page. (4) Make the bio struct carry a pair of flags to indicate the cleanup mode. BIO_NO_PAGE_REF is replaced with BIO_PAGE_REFFED (equivalent to FOLL_GET) and BIO_PAGE_PINNED (equivalent to BIO_PAGE_PINNED) is added. These are forced to have the same value as the FOLL_* flags so they can be passed to the previously mentioned cleanup function. (5) Make the iter-to-bio code use iov_iter_extract_pages() to appropriately retain the pages and clean them up later. (6) Fix bio_flagged() so that it doesn't prevent a gcc optimisation. (7) Add a function in netfslib, netfs_extract_user_iter(), to extract a UBUF- or IOVEC-type iterator to a page list in a BVEC-type iterator, with all the pages suitably ref'd or pinned. (8) Add a function in netfslib, netfs_extract_iter_to_sg(), to extract a UBUF-, IOVEC-, BVEC-, XARRAY- or KVEC-type iterator to a scatterlist. The first two types appropriately ref or pin pages; the latter three don't perform any retention, leaving that to the caller. Note that I can make use of this in the SCSI and AF_ALG code and possibly the networking code, so this might merit being moved to core code. (9) Make AF_ALG use iov_iter_extract_pages() and possibly go further and make it use netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() instead. (10) Make SCSI vhost use netfs_extract_iter_to_sg(). (11) Make fs/direct-io.c use iov_iter_extract_pages(). (13) Make splice-to-pipe use iov_iter_extract_pages(), but limit the usage to a cleanup mode of FOLL_GET. (13) Make the 9P, FUSE and NFS filesystems use iov_iter_extract_pages(). (14) Make the CIFS filesystem use iterators from the top all the way down to the socket on the simple path. Make it use netfs_extract_user_iter() to use an XARRAY-type iterator or to build a BVEC-type iterator in the top layers from a UBUF- or IOVEC-type iterator and attach the iterator to the operation descriptors. netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() is used to build scatterlists for doing transport crypto and a function, smb_extract_iter_to_rdma(), is provided to build an RDMA SGE list directly from an iterator without going via a page list and then a scatter list. (15) A couple of work-in-progress patches to try and make sk_buff fragments record the information needed to clean them up in the lowest two bits of the page pointer in the fragment struct. This leaves: (*) Four calls to iov_iter_get_pages() in CEPH. That will be helped by patches to pass an iterator down to the transport layer instead of converting to a page list high up and passing that down, but the transport layer could do with some massaging so that it doesn't covert the iterator to a page list and then the pages individually back to iterators to pass to the socket. (*) One call to iov_iter_get_pages() each in the networking core, RDS and TLS, all related to zero-copy. TLS seems to do zerocopy-read (or maybe decrypt-offload) and should be doing FOLL_PIN, not FOLL_GET for user-provided buffers. Changes: ======== 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.
