READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

Add iov_iter_get_pages_flags() and iov_iter_get_pages_alloc_flags()
which take a flags argument that is passed to get_user_pages_fast().

This is so that FOLL_PCI_P2PDMA can be passed when appropriate.

This was intended to be "maxpages" instead of INT_MAX.  There is only
one caller and it passes INT_MAX so this does not affect runtime.

Most of the users immediately follow successful iov_iter_get_pages()
with advancing by the amount it had returned.

Provide inline wrappers doing that, convert trivial open-coded
uses of those.

BTW, iov_iter_get_pages() never returns more than it had been asked
to; such checks in cifs ought to be removed someday...

<title>ITER_PIPE: cache the type of last buffer</title>

<name>Al Viro</name>

<id>10f525a8cd7a525e9fc73288bb35428c9cad5e63</id>
<content type='text'>
We often need to find whether the last buffer is anon or not, and
currently it's rather clumsy:
	check if -&gt;iov_offset is non-zero (i.e. that pipe is not empty)
	if so, get the corresponding pipe_buffer and check its -&gt;ops
	if it's &amp;default_pipe_buf_ops, we have an anon buffer.

Let's replace the use of -&gt;iov_offset (which is nowhere near similar to
its role for other flavours) with signed field (-&gt;last_offset), with
the following rules:
	empty, no buffers occupied:		0
	anon, with bytes up to N-1 filled:	N
	zero-copy, with bytes up to N-1 filled:	-N

That way abs(i-&gt;last_offset) is equal to what used to be in i-&gt;iov_offset
and empty vs. anon vs. zero-copy can be distinguished by the sign of
i-&gt;last_offset.

	Checks for "should we extend the last buffer or should we start
a new one?" become easier to follow that way.

	Note that most of the operations can only be done in a sane
state - i.e. when the pipe has nothing past the current position of
iterator.  About the only thing that could be done outside of that
state is iov_iter_advance(), which transitions to the sane state by
truncating the pipe.  There are only two cases where we leave the
sane state:
	1) iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc().  Will be
dealt with later, when we make get_pages advancing - the callers are
actually happier that way.
	2) iov_iter copied, then something is put into the copy.  Since
they share the underlying pipe, the original gets behind.  When we
decide that we are done with the copy (original is not usable until then)
we advance the original.  direct_io used to be done that way; nowadays
it operates on the original and we do iov_iter_revert() to discard
the excessive data.  At the moment there's nothing in the kernel that
could do that to ITER_PIPE iterators, so this reason for insane state
is theoretical right now.

<title>new iov_iter flavour - ITER_UBUF</title>

<id>fcb14cb1bdacec5b4374fe161e83fb8208164a85</id>
<content type='text'>
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 -&gt;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.

Pull vfs iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
 "Part 1 - isolated cleanups and optimizations.

  One of the goals is to reduce the overhead of using -&gt;read_iter() and
  -&gt;write_iter() instead of -&gt;read()/-&gt;write().

  new_sync_{read,write}() has a surprising amount of overhead, in
  particular inside iocb_flags(). That's the explanation for the
  beginning of the series is in this pile; it's not directly
  iov_iter-related, but it's a part of the same work..."

* tag 'pull-work.iov_iter-base' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  first_iovec_segment(): just return address
  iov_iter: massage calling conventions for first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
  iov_iter: first_{iovec,bvec}_segment() - simplify a bit
  iov_iter: lift dealing with maxpages out of first_{iovec,bvec}_segment()
  iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc}(): cap the maxsize with MAX_RW_COUNT
  iov_iter_bvec_advance(): don't bother with bvec_iter
  copy_page_{to,from}_iter(): switch iovec variants to generic
  keep iocb_flags() result cached in struct file
  iocb: delay evaluation of IS_SYNC(...) until we want to check IOCB_DSYNC
  struct file: use anonymous union member for rcuhead and llist
  btrfs: use IOMAP_DIO_NOSYNC
  teach iomap_dio_rw() to suppress dsync
  No need of likely/unlikely on calls of check_copy_size()

<title>iov: introduce iov_iter_aligned</title>

<id>cfa320f72882f0e944e2237287db84b0f7df877d</id>

The existing iov_iter_alignment() function returns the logical OR of
address and length. For cases where address and length need to be
considered separately, introduce a helper function that a caller can
specificy length and address masks that indicate if the iov is
unaligned.
