[PATCH v17 13/14] block: Convert bio_iov_iter_get_pages to use iov_iter_extract_pages

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

 



This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather than getting a ref on
them as appropriate to the iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO rather than having refs taken on them to
prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent fork() (the
result of the I/O could otherwise end up being affected by/visible to the
child process).

Notes:
    ver #10)
     - Drop bio_set_cleanup_mode(), open coding it instead.
    
    ver #8)
     - Split the patch up a bit [hch].
     - We should only be using pinned/non-pinned pages and not ref'd pages,
       so adjust the comments appropriately.
    
    ver #7)
     - Don't treat BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED as being the same as FOLL_GET/PIN.
    
    ver #5)
     - Transcribe the FOLL_* flags returned by iov_iter_extract_pages() to
       BIO_* flags and got rid of bi_cleanup_mode.
     - Replaced BIO_NO_PAGE_REF to BIO_PAGE_REFFED in the preceding patch.
