[PATCH v7 2/8] iov_iter: Add a function to extract a page list from an iterator

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages(), to extract a list of pages from
an iterator.  The pages may be returned with a reference added or a pin
added or neither, depending on the type of iterator and the direction of
transfer.  The caller must pass FOLL_READ_FROM_MEM or FOLL_WRITE_TO_MEM
as part of gup_flags to indicate how the iterator contents are to be used.

Add a second function, iov_iter_extract_mode(), to determine how the
cleanup should be done.

There are three cases:

 (1) Transfer *into* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have pins obtained on them (but not references)
     so that fork() doesn't CoW the pages incorrectly whilst the I/O is in
     progress.

     iov_iter_extract_mode() will return FOLL_PIN for this case.  The
     caller should use something like unpin_user_page() to dispose of the
     page.

 (2) Transfer is *out of* an ITER_IOVEC or ITER_UBUF iterator.

     Extracted pages will have references obtained on them, but not pins.

     iov_iter_extract_mode() will return FOLL_GET.  The caller should use
     something like put_page() for page disposal.

 (3) Any other sort of iterator.

     No refs or pins are obtained on the page, the assumption is made that
     the caller will manage page retention.  ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA is not
     permitted.

     iov_iter_extract_mode() will return 0.  The pages don't need
     additional disposal.

Notes:
    ver #7)
     - Switch to passing in iter-specific flags rather than FOLL_* flags.
     - Drop the direction flags for now.
     - Use ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA to request FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA.
     - Disallow use of ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA with non-user-backed iter.
     - Add support for extraction from KVEC-type iters.
     - Use iov_iter_advance() rather than open-coding it.
     - Make BVEC- and KVEC-type skip over initial empty vectors.
    
    ver #6)
     - Add back the function to indicate the cleanup mode.
     - Drop the cleanup_mode return arg to iov_iter_extract_pages().
     - Pass FOLL_SOURCE/DEST_BUF in gup_flags.  Check this against the iter
       data_source.
    
    ver #4)
     - Use ITER_SOURCE/DEST instead of WRITE/READ.
     - Allow additional FOLL_* flags, such as FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA to be passed in.
    
    ver #3)
     - Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
       to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].
