<title>vringh: don't use vringh_kiov_advance() in vringh_iov_xfer()</title>

In the while loop of vringh_iov_xfer(), `partlen` could be 0 if one of
the `iov` has 0 lenght.
In this case, we should skip the iov and go to the next one.
But calling vringh_kiov_advance() with 0 lenght does not cause the
advancement, since it returns immediately if asked to advance by 0 bytes.

Let's restore the code that was there before commit b8c06ad4d67d
("vringh: implement vringh_kiov_advance()"), avoiding using
vringh_kiov_advance().

vDPA supports the possibility to use user VA in the iotlb messages.
So, let's add support for user VA in vringh to use it in the vDPA
simulators.

Define a macro to be reused in the different parts of the code.

Useful for the next patches where we add more arrays to manage also
translations with user VA.

<title>vringh: replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page()</title>

<id>c0371782500c5314741da9ccbfbf0375a0d379fc</id>
<content type='text'>
kmap_atomic() is deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page() since commit
f3ba3c710ac5 ("mm/highmem: Provide kmap_local*").

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page-faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
Furthermore, the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to
run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.

kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only for !PREEMPT_RT kernels,
otherwise it only disables migration).

The code within the mappings/un-mappings in getu16_iotlb() and
putu16_iotlb() don't depend on the above-mentioned side effects of
kmap_atomic(), so that mere replacements of the old API with the new one
is all that is required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly add calls
to pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).

This commit reuses a "boiler plate" commit message from Fabio, who has
already did this change in several places.

vhost_iotlb_itree_first() requires `start` and `last` parameters
to search for a mapping that overlaps the range.

In iotlb_translate() we cyclically call vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
incrementing `addr` by the amount already translated, so rightly
we move the `start` parameter passed to vhost_iotlb_itree_first(),
but we should hold the `last` parameter constant.

Let's fix it by saving the `last` parameter value before incrementing
`addr` in the loop.

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...

<title>vringh: iterate on iotlb_translate to handle large translations</title>

iotlb_translate() can return -ENOBUFS if the bio_vec is not big enough
to contain all the ranges for translation.
This can happen for example if the VMM maps a large bounce buffer,
without using hugepages, that requires more than 16 ranges to translate
the addresses.

To handle this case, let's extend iotlb_translate() to also return the
number of bytes successfully translated.
In copy_from_iotlb()/copy_to_iotlb() loops by calling iotlb_translate()
several times until we complete the translation.
