2015-04-12VFS: Add iov_iter_fault_in_multipages_readable()Anton Altaparmakov1-0/+1
simillar to iov_iter_fault_in_readable() but differs in that it is not limited to faulting in the first iovec and instead faults in "bytes" bytes iterating over the iovecs as necessary. Also, instead of only faulting in the first and last page of the range, all pages are faulted in. This function is needed by NTFS when it does multi page file writes.

2015-03-30saner iov_iter initialization primitivesAl Viro1-0/+14
iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties: * no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array * total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT * all ranges pass access_ok(). The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole. We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer) if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter. That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec(). Calling conventions: iovec = iov_array; err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs, ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec, &iter); imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec. On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated. compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec; otherwise it's identical to import_iovec(). Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec covering a user-supplied range - err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter); does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets silently truncated. Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.

2014-10-09Add copy_to_iter(), copy_from_iter() and iov_iter_zero()Matthew Wilcox1-0/+3
For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

2014-09-27fuse: honour max_read and max_write in direct_io modeMiklos Szeredi1-1/+1
The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

2014-06-27Fix 32-bit regression in block device read(2)Al Viro1-1/+13
blkdev_read_iter() wants to cap the iov_iter by the amount of data remaining to the end of device. That's what iov_iter_truncate() is for (trim iter->count if it's above the given limit). So far, so good, but the argument of iov_iter_truncate() is size_t, so on 32bit boxen (in case of a large device) we end up with that upper limit truncated down to 32 bits *before* comparing it with iter->count. Easily fixed by making iov_iter_truncate() take 64bit argument - it does the right thing after such change (we only reach the assignment in there when the current value of iter->count is greater than the limit, i.e. for anything that would get truncated we don't reach the assignment at all) and that argument is not the new value of iter->count - it's an upper limit for such. The overhead of passing u64 is not an issue - the thing is inlined, so callers passing size_t won't pay any penalty.

iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter. Returns the amount of memory grabbed or -error. In case of success, the requested area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc. Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because the kernel failed to pin that many pages. direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
