iov_iter: Four fixes for ITER_XARRAY

2021-04-26T21:55:12+00:00

Fix four things[1] in the patch that adds ITER_XARRAY[2]: (1) Remove the address_space struct predeclaration. This is a holdover from when it was ITER_MAPPING. (2) Fix _copy_mc_to_iter() so that the xarray segment updates count and iov_offset in the iterator before returning. (3) Fix iov_iter_alignment() to not loop in the xarray case. Because the middle pages are all whole pages, only the end pages need be considered - and this can be reduced to just looking at the start position in the xarray and the iteration size. (4) Fix iov_iter_advance() to limit the size of the advance to no more than the remaining iteration size.

iov_iter: Add ITER_XARRAY

2021-04-23T08:15:32+00:00

Add an iterator, ITER_XARRAY, that walks through a set of pages attached to an xarray, starting at a given page and offset and walking for the specified amount of bytes. The iterator supports transparent huge pages. The iterate_xarray() macro calls the helper function with rcu_access() helped. I think that this is only a problem for iov_iter_for_each_range() - and that returns an error for ITER_XARRAY (also, this function does not appear to be called). The caller must guarantee that the pages are all present and they must be locked using PG_locked, PG_writeback or PG_fscache to prevent them from going away or being migrated whilst they're being accessed. This is useful for copying data from socket buffers to inodes in network filesystems and for transferring data between those inodes and the cache using direct I/O. Whilst it is true that ITER_BVEC could be used instead, that would require a bio_vec array to be allocated to refer to all the pages - which should be redundant if inode->i_pages also points to all these pages. Note that older versions of this patch implemented an ITER_MAPPING instead, which was almost the same. Changes: v7: - Rename iter_xarray_copy_pages() to iter_xarray_populate_pages()[1].

udp: fix skb_copy_and_csum_datagram with odd segment sizes

2021-02-05T02:56:56+00:00

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.

x86, powerpc: Rename memcpy_mcsafe() to copy_mc_to_{user, kernel}()

2020-10-06T09:18:04+00:00

In reaction to a proposal to introduce a memcpy_mcsafe_fast() implementation Linus points out that memcpy_mcsafe() is poorly named relative to communicating the scope of the interface. Specifically what addresses are valid to pass as source, destination, and what faults / exceptions are handled. Of particular concern is that even though x86 might be able to handle the semantics of copy_mc_to_user() with its common copy_user_generic() implementation other archs likely need / want an explicit path for this case: On Fri, May 1, 2020 at 11:28 AM Linus Torvalds wrote: > > On Thu, Apr 30, 2020 at 6:21 PM Dan Williams wrote: > > > > However now I see that copy_user_generic() works for the wrong reason. > > It works because the exception on the source address due to poison > > looks no different than a write fault on the user address to the > > caller, it's still just a short copy.

Replace a single top-level memcpy_mcsafe() with either copy_mc_to_user(), or copy_mc_to_kernel(). Introduce an x86 copy_mc_fragile() name as the rename for the low-level x86 implementation formerly named memcpy_mcsafe(). It is used as the slow / careful backend that is supplanted by a fast copy_mc_generic() in a follow-on patch. One side-effect of this reorganization is that separating copy_mc_64.S to its own file means that perf no longer needs to track dependencies for its memcpy_64.S benchmarks.

iov_iter: transparently handle compat iovecs in import_iovec

2020-10-03T04:02:13+00:00

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.

iov_iter: refactor rw_copy_check_uvector and import_iovec

2020-10-03T04:01:56+00:00

Split rw_copy_check_uvector into two new helpers with more sensible calling conventions: - iovec_from_user copies a iovec from userspace either into the provided stack buffer if it fits, or allocates a new buffer for it. Returns the actually used iovec. It also verifies that iov_len does fit a signed type, and handles compat iovecs if the compat flag is set. - __import_iovec consolidates the native and compat versions of import_iovec. It calls iovec_from_user, then validates each iovec actually points to user addresses, and ensures the total length doesn't overflow. This has two major implications: - the access_process_vm case loses the total lenght checking, which wasn't required anyway, given that each call receives two iovecs for the local and remote side of the operation, and it verifies the total length on the local side already. - instead of a single loop there now are two loops over the iovecs. Given that the iovecs are cache hot this doesn't make a major difference Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

iov_iter: Move unnecessary inclusion of crypto/hash.h

2020-06-30T13:34:23+00:00

The header file linux/uio.h includes crypto/hash.h which pulls in most of the Crypto API. Since linux/uio.h is used throughout the kernel this means that every tiny bit of change to the Crypto API causes the entire kernel to get rebuilt. This patch fixes this by moving it into lib/iov_iter.c instead where it is actually used. This patch also fixes the ifdef to use CRYPTO_HASH instead of just CRYPTO which does not guarantee the existence of ahash. Unfortunately a number of drivers were relying on linux/uio.h to provide access to linux/slab.h. This patch adds inclusions of linux/slab.h as detected by build failures. Also skbuff.h was relying on this to provide a declaration for ahash_request. This patch adds a forward declaration instead. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Al Viro

pipe: Use head and tail pointers for the ring, not cursor and length

2019-10-31T15:12:34+00:00

Convert pipes to use head and tail pointers for the buffer ring rather than pointer and length as the latter requires two atomic ops to update (or a combined op) whereas the former only requires one. (1) The head pointer is the point at which production occurs and points to the slot in which the next buffer will be placed. This is equivalent to pipe->curbuf + pipe->nrbufs. The head pointer belongs to the write-side. (2) The tail pointer is the point at which consumption occurs. It points to the next slot to be consumed. This is equivalent to pipe->curbuf. The tail pointer belongs to the read-side. (3) head and tail are allowed to run to UINT_MAX and wrap naturally. They are only masked off when the array is being accessed, e.g.: pipe->bufs[head & mask] This means that it is not necessary to have a dead slot in the ring as head == tail isn't ambiguous. (4) The ring is empty if "head == tail". A helper, pipe_empty(), is provided for this. (5) The occupancy of the ring is "head - tail". A helper, pipe_occupancy(), is provided for this. (6) The number of free slots in the ring is "pipe->ring_size - occupancy". A helper, pipe_space_for_user() is provided to indicate how many slots userspace may use. (7) The ring is full if "head - tail >= pipe->ring_size". A helper, pipe_full(), is provided for this. Signed-off-by: David Howells

I don't envision going much further down this path, as there are plans in progress to support potentially any system call in an async fashion through io_uring. But I think it does make sense to have certain core ops available directly, especially those that can support a "try this non-blocking" flag/mode. (me) - Handle generic short reads automatically. This can happen fairly easily if parts of the buffered read is cached. Since the application needs to issue another request for the remainder, just do this internally and save kernel/user roundtrip while providing a nicer more robust API. (me) - Support for linked SQEs. This allows SQEs to depend on each other, enabling an application to eg queue a read-from-this-file,write-to-that-file pair.
