This reduces, by one, the number of callers of iov_iter_get_pages(). That's helpful because these calls are being audited and converted over to use iov_iter_pin_user_pages(), where applicable. And this one here is already known by the caller to be only for ITER_PIPE, so let's just simplify it now. Signed-off-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@xxxxxxxxxx> --- OK, here's a v2 that does EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, instead of EXPORT_SYMBOL, that's the only change from v1. That should help give this patch a clear bill of passage. :) thanks, John Hubbard NVIDIA fs/ceph/file.c | 3 +-- include/linux/uio.h | 3 ++- lib/iov_iter.c | 6 +++--- 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/ceph/file.c b/fs/ceph/file.c index d51c3f2fdca0..d3d7dd957390 100644 --- a/fs/ceph/file.c +++ b/fs/ceph/file.c @@ -879,8 +879,7 @@ static ssize_t ceph_sync_read(struct kiocb *iocb, struct iov_iter *to, more = len < iov_iter_count(to); if (unlikely(iov_iter_is_pipe(to))) { - ret = iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(to, &pages, len, - &page_off); + ret = pipe_get_pages_alloc(to, &pages, len, &page_off); if (ret <= 0) { ceph_osdc_put_request(req); ret = -ENOMEM; diff --git a/include/linux/uio.h b/include/linux/uio.h index 3835a8a8e9ea..270a4dcf5453 100644 --- a/include/linux/uio.h +++ b/include/linux/uio.h @@ -226,7 +226,8 @@ ssize_t iov_iter_get_pages(struct iov_iter *i, struct page **pages, ssize_t iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, struct page ***pages, size_t maxsize, size_t *start); int iov_iter_npages(const struct iov_iter *i, int maxpages); - +ssize_t pipe_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, struct page ***pages, + size_t maxsize, size_t *start); const void *dup_iter(struct iov_iter *new, struct iov_iter *old, gfp_t flags); static inline size_t iov_iter_count(const struct iov_iter *i) diff --git a/lib/iov_iter.c b/lib/iov_iter.c index 5e40786c8f12..6290998df480 100644 --- a/lib/iov_iter.c +++ b/lib/iov_iter.c @@ -1355,9 +1355,8 @@ static struct page **get_pages_array(size_t n) return kvmalloc_array(n, sizeof(struct page *), GFP_KERNEL); } -static ssize_t pipe_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, - struct page ***pages, size_t maxsize, - size_t *start) +ssize_t pipe_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, struct page ***pages, + size_t maxsize, size_t *start) { struct page **p; unsigned int iter_head, npages; @@ -1387,6 +1386,7 @@ static ssize_t pipe_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, kvfree(p); return n; } +EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pipe_get_pages_alloc); ssize_t iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(struct iov_iter *i, struct page ***pages, size_t maxsize, -- 2.28.0
