<content type='text'>
A bug has been discovered when redirecting splice output to regular files
on EXT4 and tmpfs. Other filesystems might be affected.
This commit fixes the issue for stable series kernel, using one of the
change introduced during the rewrite and refactoring of vfs_iter_write in
4.13, specifically in the
commit abbb65899aec ("fs: implement vfs_iter_write using do_iter_write").

This issue affects v4.4 and v4.9 stable series of kernels.

Without this fix for v4.4 and v4.9 stable, the following upstream commits
(and their dependencies would need to be backported):
* commit abbb65899aec ("fs: implement vfs_iter_write using do_iter_write")
* commit 18e9710ee59c ("fs: implement vfs_iter_read using do_iter_read")
* commit edab5fe38c2c
  ("fs: move more code into do_iter_read/do_iter_write")
* commit 19c735868dd0 ("fs: remove __do_readv_writev")
* commit 26c87fb7d10d ("fs: remove do_compat_readv_writev")
* commit 251b42a1dc64 ("fs: remove do_readv_writev")

as well as the following dependencies:
* commit bb7462b6fd64
  ("vfs: use helpers for calling f_op-&gt;{read,write}_iter()")
* commit 0f78d06ac1e9
  ("vfs: pass type instead of fn to do_{loop,iter}_readv_writev()")
* commit 7687a7a4435f
  ("vfs: extract common parts of {compat_,}do_readv_writev()")

In order to reduce the changes, this commit uses only the part of
commit abbb65899aec ("fs: implement vfs_iter_write using do_iter_write")
that fixes the issue.

commit 11cbfb10775aa2a01cee966d118049ede9d0bdf2 upstream.

There is no in-tree file system that implements copy_file_range()
for non regular files.

Deny an attempt to copy_file_range() a directory with EISDIR
and any other non regualr file with EINVAL to conform with
behavior of vfs_{clone,dedup}_file_range().

This change is needed prior to converting sb_start_write()
to  file_start_write() in the vfs helper.

<title>vfs: Return -ENXIO for negative SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA offsets</title>

commit fc46820b27a2d9a46f7e90c9ceb4a64a1bc5fab8 upstream.

In generic_file_llseek_size, return -ENXIO for negative offsets as well
as offsets beyond EOF.  This affects filesystems which don't implement
SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA internally, possibly because they don't support
holes.

Fixes xfstest generic/448.

<title>iov_iter: kernel-doc import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector()</title>

<id>ffecee4f2442bb8cb6b34c3335fef4eb50c22fdd</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

Don't use the same syscall numbers for 2 different syscalls:

 534	x32	preadv			compat_sys_preadv64
 535	x32	pwritev			compat_sys_pwritev64
 534	x32	preadv2			compat_sys_preadv2
 535	x32	pwritev2		compat_sys_pwritev2

Add compat_sys_preadv64v2() and compat_sys_pwritev64v2() so that 64-bit offset
is passed in one 64-bit register on x32, similar to compat_sys_preadv64()
and compat_sys_pwritev64().
