it has just verified that it asks no more than the length of the first segment of iovec. And with that the last user of stuff in lib/iovec.c is gone. RIP. Cc: Michael S.

2014-10-09Add copy_to_iter(), copy_from_iter() and iov_iter_zero()Matthew Wilcox
For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses that don't necessarily have a struct page. This is a fairly simple rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in, but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various different ways to kmap the memory. Duplicating the existing logic works out best in this case. We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten ranges in a file. This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function, again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

2014-09-26fuse: honour max_read and max_write in direct_io modeMiklos Szeredi
The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter. So fuse_get_user_pages() must ensure that *nbytesp won't grow. Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated "maxsize" to the helper. The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.

2014-06-26Fix 32-bit regression in block device read(2)Al Viro
blkdev_read_iter() wants to cap the iov_iter by the amount of data remaining to the end of device. That's what iov_iter_truncate() is for (trim iter->count if it's above the given limit). So far, so good, but the argument of iov_iter_truncate() is size_t, so on 32bit boxen (in case of a large device) we end up with that upper limit truncated down to 32 bits *before* comparing it with iter->count. Easily fixed by making iov_iter_truncate() take 64bit argument - it does the right thing after such change (we only reach the assignment in there when the current value of iter->count is greater than the limit, i.e. for anything that would get truncated we don't reach the assignment at all) and that argument is not the new value of iter->count - it's an upper limit for such. The overhead of passing u64 is not an issue - the thing is inlined, so callers passing size_t won't pay any penalty.

2014-05-06bio_vec-backed iov_iterAl Viro
New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind of iov_iter. Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK. Next target: ->splice_write()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06lustre: get rid of messing with iovecsAl Viro
* switch to ->read_iter/->write_iter * keep a pointer to iov_iter instead of iov/nr_segs * do not modify iovecs; use iov_iter_truncate()/iov_iter_advance() and a new primitive - iov_iter_reexpand() (expand previously truncated iterator) istead. * (racy) check for lustre VMAs intersecting with iovecs kept for now as for_each_iov() loop.

2014-05-06iov_iter_truncate()Al Viro
Now It Can Be Done(tm) - we don't need to do iov_shorten() in generic_file_direct_write() anymore, now that all ->direct_IO() instances are converted to proper iov_iter methods and honour iter->count and iter->iov_offset properly.

2014-05-06new helper: iov_iter_get_pages()Al Viro
iov_iter_get_pages(iter, pages, maxsize, &start) grabs references pinning the pages of up to maxsize of (contiguous) data from iter. Returns the amount of memory grabbed or -error. In case of success, the requested area begins at offset start in pages[0] and runs through pages[1], etc. Less than requested amount might be returned - either because the contiguous area in the beginning of iterator is smaller than requested, or because the kernel failed to pin that many pages. direct-io.c switched to using iov_iter_get_pages() Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06start adding the tag to iov_iterAl Viro
For now, just use the same thing we pass to ->direct_IO() - it's all iovec-based at the moment. Pass it explicitly to iov_iter_init() and account for kvec vs. iovec in there, by the same kludge NFS ->direct_IO() uses. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2014-04-01introduce copy_page_to_iter, kill loop over iovec in generic_file_aio_read()Al Viro
generic_file_aio_read() was looping over the target iovec, with loop over (source) pages nested inside that. Just set an iov_iter up and pass *that* to do_generic_file_aio_read(). With copy_page_to_iter() doing all work of mapping and copying a page to iovec and advancing iov_iter. Switch shmem_file_aio_read() to the same and kill file_read_actor(), while we are at it.

ERROR: "memcpy_fromiovec" [drivers/vhost/vhost_scsi.ko] undefined! That function is only present with CONFIG_NET. Turns out that crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses that outside net, but it actually needs sockets anyway. In addition, commit 6d4f0139d642c45411a47879325891ce2a7c164a added CONFIG_NET dependency to CONFIG_VMCI for memcpy_toiovec, so hoist that function and revert that commit too. socket.h already includes uio.h, so no callers need updating; trying only broke things fo x86_64 randconfig (thanks Fengguang!).

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
