linux-stable.git/fs/read_write.c, branch v4.10.2

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

vfs: fix isize/pos/len checks for reflink & dedupe

2016-12-23T04:00:23+00:00

Strengthen the checking of pos/len vs. i_size, clarify the return values
for the clone prep function, and remove pointless code.

vfs: fix vfs_clone_file_range() for overlayfs files

2016-12-16T10:02:54+00:00

With overlayfs, it is wrong to compare file_inode(inode)->i_sb
of regular files with those of non-regular files, because the
former reference the real (upper/lower) sb and the latter reference
the overlayfs sb.

Move the test for same super block after the sanity tests for
clone range of directory and non-regular file.

This change fixes xfstest generic/157, which returned EXDEV instead
of EISDIR/EINVAL in the following test cases over overlayfs:

  echo "Try to reflink a dir"
  _reflink_range $testdir1/dir1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz

  echo "Try to reflink a device"
  _reflink_range $testdir1/dev1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz

vfs: call vfs_clone_file_range() under freeze protection

Move sb_start_write()/sb_end_write() out of the vfs helper and up into the
ioctl handler.

vfs: allow vfs_clone_file_range() across mount points

2016-12-16T10:02:54+00:00

FICLONE/FICLONERANGE ioctls return -EXDEV if src and dest
files are not on the same mount point.
Practically, clone only requires that src and dest files
are on the same file system.

Move the check for same mount point to ioctl handler and keep
only the check for same super block in the vfs helper.

A following patch is going to use the vfs_clone_file_range()
helper in overlayfs to copy up between lower and upper
mount points on the same file system.

vfs: no mnt_want_write_file() in vfs_{copy,clone}_file_range()

2016-12-16T10:02:54+00:00

We've checked for file_out being opened for write.  This ensures that we
already have mnt_want_write() on target.

vfs: refactor clone/dedupe_file_range common functions

2016-12-10T00:18:30+00:00

Hoist both the XFS reflink inode state and preparation code and the XFS
file blocks compare functions into the VFS so that ocfs2 can take
advantage of it for reflink and dedupe.

fs: try to clone files first in vfs_copy_file_range

2016-12-10T00:17:19+00:00

A clone is a perfectly fine implementation of a file copy, so most
file systems just implement the copy that way.  Instead of duplicating
this logic move it to the VFS.  Currently btrfs and XFS implement copies
the same way as clones and there is no behavior change for them, cifs
only implements clones and grow support for copy_file_range with this
patch.  NFS implements both, so this will allow copy_file_range to work
on servers that only implement CLONE and be lot more efficient on servers
that implements CLONE and COPY.

iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()

2016-10-15T00:00:34+00:00

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).

The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.
