Equivalent of single-segment iovec. Initialized by iov_iter_ubuf(),
checked for by iter_is_ubuf(), otherwise behaves like ITER_IOVEC
ones.
We are going to expose the things like ->write_iter() et.al. to those
in subsequent commits.
New predicate (user_backed_iter()) that is true for ITER_IOVEC and
ITER_UBUF; places like direct-IO handling should use that for
checking that pages we modify after getting them from iov_iter_get_pages()
would need to be dirtied.
DO NOT assume that replacing iter_is_iovec() with user_backed_iter()
will solve all problems - there's code that uses iter_is_iovec() to
decide how to poke around in iov_iter guts and for that the predicate
replacement obviously won't suffice.

Unlike other copying operations on ITER_PIPE, copy_mc_to_iter() can
result in a short copy. In that case we need to trim the unused

enough to set ->head, ->iov_offset and ->count to reflect how
much had we copied. Not hard to fix, fortunately...
I'd put a helper (pipe_discard_from(pipe, head)) into pipe_fs_i.h,

Commit 6c77676645 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.
The reason is that we now do
min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'. As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.
In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.
Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.
But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.
And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):
lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
| ^~
lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
| ^~~
This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').
Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.
[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.
Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
identical.
So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]

The maths at the end of iter_xarray_get_pages() to calculate the actual
size doesn't work under some circumstances, such as when it's been asked to
extract a partial single page. Various terms of the equation cancel out
and you end up with actual == offset. The same issue exists in
iter_xarray_get_pages_alloc().
Fix these to just use min() to select the lesser amount from between the
amount of page content transcribed into the buffer, minus the offset, and
the size limit specified.
This doesn't appear to have caused a problem yet upstream because network
filesystems aren't getting the pages from an xarray iterator, but rather
passing it directly to the socket, which just iterates over it. Cachefiles
*does* do DIO from one to/from ext4/xfs/btrfs/etc. but it always asks for
whole pages to be written or read.

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 ->read_iter() or ->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.

This warning was there to catch any architectures that still use
CONFIG_SET_FS, and that would mis-use iov_iter_init() for anything that
wasn't a proper user space pointer. So that
WARN_ON_ONCE(uaccess_kernel());
makes perfect conceptual sense: you really shouldn't use a kernel
pointer with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) and then pass it to iov_iter_init().
HOWEVER.
Guenter Roeck reports that this warning actually triggers in no-mmu
configurations of both ARM and m68k. And the reason isn't that they
pass in a kernel pointer under set_fs(KERNEL_DS) at all: the reason is
that in those configurations, "uaccess_kernel()" is simply not reliable.
Those no-mmu setups set USER_DS and KERNEL_DS to the same values, so you
can't test for the difference.
In particular, the no-mmu case for ARM does
#define USER_DS KERNEL_DS
#define uaccess_kernel() (true)
so USER_DS and KERNEL_DS have the same value, and uaccess_kernel() is
always trivially true.
The m68k case is slightly different and not quite as obvious. It does
(spread out over multiple header files just to be extra exciting:
asm/processor.h, asm/segment.h and asm-generic/uaccess.h):
#define TASK_SIZE (0xFFFFFFFFUL)
#define USER_DS MAKE_MM_SEG(TASK_SIZE)
#define KERNEL_DS MAKE_MM_SEG(~0UL)
#define get_fs() (current_thread_info()->addr_limit)
#define uaccess_kernel() (get_fs().seg == KERNEL_DS.seg)
but the end result is the same: uaccess_kernel() will always be true,
because USER_DS and KERNEL_DS end up having the same value, even if that
value is defined differently.
This is very arguably a misfeature in those implementations, but in the
end we don't really care. All modern architectures have gotten rid of
set_fs() already, and generic kernel code never uses it. And while the
sanity check was a nice idea, an architecture would have to go the extra
mile to actually break this.
So this well-intentioned warning isn't really all that likely to find
anything but these known false positives, and as such just isn't worth
maintaining.

Iterator macros used to provide the arguments for step callbacks in
a structure matching the flavour - iovec for ITER_IOVEC, kvec for
ITER_KVEC and bio_vec for ITER_BVEC. That already broke down for
ITER_XARRAY (bio_vec there); now that we are using kvec callback
for bvec and xarray cases, we are always passing a pointer + length
(void __user * + size_t for ITER_IOVEC callback, void * + size_t
for everything else).
Note that the original reason for bio_vec (page + offset + len) in
case of ITER_BVEC used to be that we did *not* want to kmap a
page when all we wanted was e.g. to find the alignment of its
subrange. Now all such users are gone and the ones that are left
want the page mapped anyway for actually copying the data.
So in all cases we have pointer + length, and there's no good
reason for keeping those in struct iovec or struct kvec - we
can just pass them to callback separately.
Again, less boilerplate in callbacks...
Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Making iterator macros keep track of the amount of data copied is pretty
easy and it has several benefits:
1) we no longer need the mess like (from += v.iov_len) - v.iov_len
in the callbacks - initial value + total amount copied so far would do
just fine.
2) less obviously, we no longer need to remember the initial amount
of data we wanted to copy; the loops in iterator macros are along the lines
of
wanted = bytes;
while (bytes) {
copy some
bytes -= copied
if short copy
break
}
bytes = wanted - bytes;
Replacement is
offs = 0;
while (bytes) {
copy some
offs += copied
bytes -= copied
if short copy
break
}
bytes = offs;
That wouldn't be a win per se, but unlike the initial value of bytes, the amount
copied so far *is* useful in callbacks.
3) in some cases (csum_and_copy_..._iter()) we already had offs manually
maintained by the callbacks. With that change we can drop that.

case of failure halfway through.
As a bonus, now iterator is advanced by the amount actually copied
for all flavours. That's what the callers expect and it used to do that
correctly in iovec and xarray cases. However, in kvec and bvec cases
the iterator had not been advanced on such failures, breaking the users.

if the flavour is one of two values are not worth the confusion for
optimizer. It can't prove that we never get e.g. ITER_IOVEC | ITER_PIPE,
so we end up with extra headache.
