block: Fix bvec_set_folio() for very large folios

2025-06-19T13:32:33+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5e223e06ee7c6d8f630041a0645ac90e39a42cc6 ] Similarly to 26064d3e2b4d ("block: fix adding folio to bio"), if we attempt to add a folio that is larger than 4GB, we'll silently truncate the offset and len. Widen the parameters to size_t, assert that the length is less than 4GB and set the first page that contains the interesting data rather than the first page of the folio.

block: add a bvec_phys helper

2024-07-08T07:51:05+00:00

Get callers out of poking into bvec internals a bit more. Not a huge win right now, but with the proposed new DMA mapping API we might end up with a lot more of this otherwise.

block: define bvec_iter as packed aligned(4)

2024-03-02T17:15:01+00:00

In commit 19416123ab3e ("block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed"), what we need is to save the 4byte padding, and avoid `bio` to spread on one extra cache line. It is enough to define it as '__packed __aligned(4)', as '__packed' alone means byte aligned, and can cause compiler to generate horrible code on architectures that don't support unaligned access in case that bvec_iter is embedded in other structures.

block: add a bvec_set_folio helper

2023-02-03T15:20:55+00:00

A smaller wrapper around bvec_set_page that takes a folio instead. There are only two potential users for this in the tree, but the number will grow in the future.

Add a helper to initialize a bvec based of a page pointer. This will help removing various open code bvec initializations.

2023-01-31T16:21:50+00:00

This was originally added for the definition of nth_page(), but we no longer use nth_page() in this header, so we can drop the heavyweight mm.h now. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230131050132.2627124-1-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: define 'struct bvec_iter' as packed

2021-10-18T12:17:36+00:00

'struct bvec_iter' is embedded into 'struct bio', define it as packed so that we can get one extra 4bytes for other uses without expanding bio. 'struct bvec_iter' is often allocated on stack, so making it packed doesn't affect performance. Also I have run io_uring on both nvme/null_blk, and not observe performance effect in this way.
