[PATCH v3 0/3] Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter

[PATCH v3 0/3] Convert vmcore to use an iov_iter

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

For some reason several people have been sending bad patches to fix
compiler warnings in vmcore recently.  Here's how it should be done.
Compile-tested only on x86.  As noted in the first patch, s390 should
take this conversion a bit further, but I'm not inclined to do that
work myself.

v3:
 - Send the correct patches this time
v2:
 - Removed unnecessary kernel-doc
 - Included uio.h to fix compilation problems
 - Made read_from_oldmem_iter static to avoid compile warnings during the
   conversion
 - Use iov_iter_truncate() (Christoph)

[PATCH v3 1/3] vmcore: Convert copy_oldmem_page() to take an iov_iter

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor,
but I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to
take an iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter()
and add a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

[PATCH v3 1/3] vmcore: Convert copy_oldmem_page() to take an iov_iter

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Instead of passing in a 'buf' and 'userbuf' argument, pass in an iov_iter.
s390 needs more work to pass the iov_iter down further, or refactor,
but I'd be more comfortable if someone who can test on s390 did that work.

It's more convenient to convert the whole of read_from_oldmem() to
take an iov_iter at the same time, so rename it to read_from_oldmem_iter()
and add a temporary read_from_oldmem() wrapper that creates an iov_iter.

                                ^^^^^^
I am curious why this parameter is called 'csize', but not 'size' directly.
This is not related to this patch, it's an old naming.

[PATCH v3 2/3] vmcore: Convert __read_vmcore to use an iov_iter

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

This gets rid of copy_to() and let us use proc_read_iter() instead
of proc_read().

all the remaining callers to pass an iov_iter.

He used to work on s390 arch. Now he joins Redhat and will focus
on kexec/kdump. See if he has any thoughts on the s390 part of work, or
may reach out to s390 developer.

A couple of notes: please, use iov_iter_count(i) instead of open-coding
i->count.  And there's a preexisting nastiness in read_vmcore() -
generally, a fault halfway through the read() is treated as a short read,
rather than -EFAULT...

Willy must be busy with those tons of folio patches, since I have acked
this patchset, I will update them as per your comment and repost them
with v4.

Thanks for checking.

Sorry for being late to work on this.

While checking it, I noticed it's generic to return -EFAULT in kernel.
E.g in kernfs_file_read_iter(). Even though 'man 3 read' does give the
same words as you noted.

However, the manpage says the less then nbyte case happened just in case
the number of bytes left in the file is less than nbyte. The returning
-EFAULT in read_vmcore() seems to be a little different and not
satisfying the condition, because the left bytes should be greater than
the nbyte when reading out the elf note, or the middle of the vmcore. So
we should leave it as is?

Abstract from man page of read:
====
Upon successful completion, where nbyte is greater than 0, read() shall mark for update the last data access timestamp of the
file, and shall return the number of bytes read.  This number shall never be greater than nbyte.  The value returned  may  be
less  than  nbyte if the number of bytes left in the file is less than nbyte, if the read() request was interrupted by a sig‐
nal, or if the file is a pipe or FIFO or special file and has fewer than nbyte bytes immediately available for  reading.  For
example, a read() from a file associated with a terminal may return one typed line of data.
