iov_iter: add iter_iov_addr() and iter_iov_len() helpers

2023-03-30T14:12:29+00:00

These just return the address and length of the current iovec segment in the iterator. Convert existing iov_iter_iovec() users to use them instead of getting a copy of the current vec. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2022-11-25T18:01:55+00:00

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way. Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder to misinterpret... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

vfs: fix copy_file_range() averts filesystem freeze protection

2022-11-25T05:52:28+00:00

Commit 868f9f2f8e00 ("vfs: fix copy_file_range() regression in cross-fs copies") removed fallback to generic_copy_file_range() for cross-fs cases inside vfs_copy_file_range(). To preserve behavior of nfsd and ksmbd server-side-copy, the fallback to generic_copy_file_range() was added in nfsd and ksmbd code, but that call is missing sb_start_write(), fsnotify hooks and more. Ideally, nfsd and ksmbd would pass a flag to vfs_copy_file_range() that will take care of the fallback, but that code would be subtle and we got vfs_copy_file_range() logic wrong too many times already. Instead, add a flag to explicitly request vfs_copy_file_range() to perform only generic_copy_file_range() and let nfsd and ksmbd use this flag only in the fallback path. This choise keeps the logic changes to minimum in the non-nfsd/ksmbd code paths to reduce the risk of further regressions.

[coredump] don't use __kernel_write() on kmap_local_page()

2022-09-28T18:28:40+00:00

passing kmap_local_page() result to __kernel_write() is unsafe - random ->write_iter() might (and 9p one does) get unhappy when passed ITER_KVEC with pointer that came from kmap_local_page(). Fix by providing a variant of __kernel_write() that takes an iov_iter from caller (__kernel_write() becomes a trivial wrapper) and adding dump_emit_page() that parallels dump_emit(), except that instead of __kernel_write() it uses __kernel_write_iter() with ITER_BVEC source.

Pull io_uring buffered writes support from Jens Axboe: "This contains support for buffered writes, specifically for XFS. btrfs is in progress, will be coming in the next release. io_uring does support buffered writes on any file type, but since the buffered write path just always -EAGAIN (or -EOPNOTSUPP) any attempt to do so if IOCB_NOWAIT is set, any buffered write will effectively be handled by io-wq offload. This isn't very efficient, and we even have specific code in io-wq to serialize buffered writes to the same inode to avoid further inefficiencies with thread offload. This is particularly sad since most buffered writes don't block, they simply copy data to a page and dirty it. With this pull request, we can handle buffered writes a lot more effiently. If balance_dirty_pages() needs to block, we back off on writes as indicated. This improves buffered write support by 2-3x. Jan Kara helped with the mm bits for this, and Stefan handled the fs/iomap/xfs/io_uring parts of it" * tag 'for-5.20/io_uring-buffered-writes-2022-07-29' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: mm: honor FGP_NOWAIT for page cache page allocation xfs: Add async buffered write support xfs: Specify lockmode when calling xfs_ilock_for_iomap() io_uring: Add tracepoint for short writes io_uring: fix issue with io_write() not always undoing sb_start_write() io_uring: Add support for async buffered writes fs: Add async write file modification handling. fs: Split off inode_needs_update_time and __file_update_time fs: add __remove_file_privs() with flags parameter fs: add a FMODE_BUF_WASYNC flags for f_mode iomap: Return -EAGAIN from iomap_write_iter() iomap: Add async buffered write support iomap: Add flags parameter to iomap_page_create() mm: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() function mm: Move updates of dirty_exceeded into one place mm: Move starting of background writeback into the main balancing loop
