commit 0f1d344feb534555a0dcd0beafb7211a37c5355e upstream.

iter_file_splice_write() may spawn bvec segments with zero-length. In
preparation for prohibiting them, filter out by hand at splice level.

This reverts commit fd0a6e99b61e6c08fa5cf585d54fd956f70c73a6.

Which was upstream commit 97ef77c52b789ec1411d360ed99dca1efe4b2c81.

The commit is missing dependencies and breaks NFS tests, remove it for
now.

[ Upstream commit 97ef77c52b789ec1411d360ed99dca1efe4b2c81 ]

The original direct splicing mechanism from Jens required the input to
be a regular file because it was avoiding the special socket case. It
also recognized blkdevs as being close enough to a regular file. But it
forgot about chardevs, which behave the same way and work fine here.

This is an okayish heuristic, but it doesn't totally work. For example,
a few chardevs should be spliceable here. And a few regular files
shouldn't. This patch fixes this by instead checking whether FMODE_LSEEK
is set, which represents decently enough what we need rewinding for when
splicing to internal pipes.

With the set_fs change, we can no longer rely on copy_{to,from}_user()
accepting a kernel pointer, and it was bad form to do so anyway. Clean
this up and change the internal helper that io_uring uses to deal with
kernel pointers instead. This puts the offset copy in/out in __do_splice()
instead, which just calls the same helper.

<title>splice: teach splice pipe reading about empty pipe buffers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d1a819a2ec2d3b5e6a8f8a9f67386bda0ad315bc</id>
<content type='text'>
Tetsuo Handa reports that splice() can return 0 before the real EOF, if
the data in the splice source pipe is an empty pipe buffer.  That empty
pipe buffer case doesn't happen in any normal situation, but you can
trigger it by doing a write to a pipe that fails due to a page fault.

Tetsuo has a test-case to show the behavior:

  #define _GNU_SOURCE
  #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
  #include &lt;fcntl.h&gt;
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
	const int fd = open("/tmp/testfile", O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0600);
	int pipe_fd[2] = { -1, -1 };
	pipe(pipe_fd);
	write(pipe_fd[1], NULL, 4096);
	/* This splice() should wait unless interrupted. */
	return !splice(pipe_fd[0], NULL, fd, NULL, 65536, 0);
  }

which results in

    write(5, NULL, 4096)                    = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)
    splice(4, NULL, 3, NULL, 65536, 0)      = 0

and this can confuse splice() users into believing they have hit EOF
prematurely.

The issue was introduced when the pipe write code started pre-allocating
the pipe buffers before copying data from user space.

This is modified verion of Tetsuo's original patch.

<content type='text'>
Use in compat_syscall to import either native or the compat iovecs, and
remove the now superflous compat_import_iovec.

This removes the need for special compat logic in most callers, and
the remaining ones can still be simplified by using __import_iovec
with a bool compat parameter.
