[PATCH 3/5] bio: convert get_user_pages_fast() --> pin_user_pages_fast()

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

 



Change generic block/bio Direct IO routines, to acquire FOLL_PIN user
pages via the recently added routines:

    iov_iter_pin_user_pages()
    iov_iter_pin_user_pages_alloc()
    pin_user_page()

This effectively converts several file systems (ext4, for example) that
use the common Direct IO routines.

Change the corresponding page release calls from put_page() to
unpin_user_page().

Change bio_release_pages() to handle FOLL_PIN pages. In fact, that
is now the *only* type of pages it handles now.

Design notes
============

Quite a few approaches have been considered over the years. This one is
inspired by Christoph Hellwig's July, 2019 observation that there are
only 5 ITER_ types, and we can simplify handling of them for Direct IO
[1]. Accordingly, this patch implements the following pseudocode:

Direct IO behavior:

    ITER_IOVEC:
        pin_user_pages_fast();
        break;

    ITER_KVEC:    // already elevated page refcount, leave alone
    ITER_BVEC:    // already elevated page refcount, leave alone
    ITER_PIPE:    // just, no :)
    ITER_DISCARD: // discard
        return -EFAULT or -ENVALID;

...which works for callers that already have sorted out which case they
are in. Such as, Direct IO in the block/bio layers.

Now, this does leave ITER_KVEC and ITER_BVEC unconverted, but on the
other hand, it's not clear that these are actually affected in the real
world, by the get_user_pages()+filesystem interaction problems of [2].
If it turns out to matter, then those can be handled too, but it's just
more refactoring and surgery to do so.

Page acquisition: The iov_iter_get_pages*() routines
above are at just the right level in the call stack: the callers already
know which system to use, and so it's a small change to just drop in the
replacement routines. And it's a fan-in/fan-out point: block/bio call
sites for Direct IO funnel their page acquisitions through the
iov_iter_get_pages*() routines, and there are many other callers of
those. And we can't convert all of the callers at once--too many
subsystems are involved, and it would be a too large and too risky
patch.

Page release: there are already separate release routines: put_page()
vs. unpin_user_page(), so it's already done there.
