[ Upstream commit bb90d4bc7b6a536b2e4db45f4763e467c2008251 ]

Working through a conversion to a call kmap_local_page() instead of
kmap() revealed many places where the pattern kmap/memcpy/kunmap
occurred.

Eric Biggers, Matthew Wilcox, Christoph Hellwig, Dan Williams, and Al
Viro all suggested putting this code into helper functions.  Al Viro
further pointed out that these functions already existed in the iov_iter
code.[1]

Various locations for the lifted functions were considered.

Headers like mm.h or string.h seem ok but don't really portray the
functionality well.  pagemap.h made some sense but is for page cache
functionality.[2]

Another alternative would be to create a new header for the promoted
memcpy functions, but it masks the fact that these are designed to copy
to/from pages using the kernel direct mappings and complicates matters
with a new header.

Placing these functions in 'highmem.h' is suboptimal especially with the
changes being proposed in the functionality of kmap.  From a caller
perspective including/using 'highmem.h' implies that the functions
defined in that header are only required when highmem is in use which is
increasingly not the case with modern processors.  However, highmem.h is
where all the current functions like this reside (zero_user(),
clear_highpage(), clear_user_highpage(), copy_user_highpage(), and
copy_highpage()).  So it makes the most sense even though it is
distasteful for some.[3]

Lift memcpy_to_page() and memcpy_from_page() to pagemap.h.

<title>iov_iter: add helper to save iov_iter state</title>

[ Upstream commit 8fb0f47a9d7acf620d0fd97831b69da9bc5e22ed ]

In an ideal world, when someone is passed an iov_iter and returns X bytes,
then X bytes would have been consumed/advanced from the iov_iter. But we
have use cases that always consume the entire iterator, a few examples
of that are iomap and bdev O_DIRECT. This means we cannot rely on the
state of the iov_iter once we've called -&gt;read_iter() or -&gt;write_iter().

This would be easier if we didn't always have to deal with truncate of
the iov_iter, as rewinding would be trivial without that. We recently
added a commit to track the truncate state, but that grew the iov_iter
by 8 bytes and wasn't the best solution.

Implement a helper to save enough of the iov_iter state to sanely restore
it after we've called the read/write iterator helpers. This currently
only works for IOVEC/BVEC/KVEC as that's all we need, support for other
iterator types are left as an exercise for the reader.

commit 9d2231c5d74e13b2a0546fee6737ee4446017903 upstream.

The functions copy_page_to_iter_pipe() and push_pipe() can both
allocate a new pipe_buffer, but the "flags" member initializer is
missing.

[ Upstream commit 814a66741b9ffb5e1ba119e368b178edb0b7322d ]

Both iov_iter_get_pages and iov_iter_get_pages_alloc return the number
of bytes of the iovec they could get the pages for.  When they cannot
get any pages, they're supposed to return 0, but when the start of the
iovec isn't page aligned, the calculation goes wrong and they return a
negative value.  Fix both functions.

In addition, change iov_iter_get_pages_alloc to return NULL in that case
to prevent resource leaks.

commit 52cbd23a119c6ebf40a527e53f3402d2ea38eccb upstream.

When iteratively computing a checksum with csum_block_add, track the
offset "pos" to correctly rotate in csum_block_add when offset is odd.

The open coded implementation of skb_copy_and_csum_datagram did this.
With the switch to __skb_datagram_iter calling csum_and_copy_to_iter,
pos was reinitialized to 0 on each call.

Bring back the pos by passing it along with the csum to the callback.

Changes v1-&gt;v2
  - pass csum value, instead of csump pointer (Alexander Duyck)
