[PATCH v4 0/4] s390/crash: support multi-segment iterators

[PATCH v4 0/4] s390/crash: support multi-segment iterators

[Alexander Gordeev]

Hi Matthew et al,

This series completes 5d8de293c224 ("vmcore: convert copy_oldmem_page()
to take an iov_iter") for s390.

Changes since v3:
  - concurrent access to HSA and oldmem swap buffers protected;

Changes since v2:
  - Matthew Wilcox suggestion is adopted, with that...
  - copy_to_iter() is used instead of custom implementation;

Changes since v1:
  - number of bytes left to copy on fail fixed;

Thanks!

[PATCH v4 1/4] s390/zcore: fix race when reading from hardware system area

[Alexander Gordeev]

Memory buffer used for reading out data from hardware system

[PATCH v4 2/4] s390/crash: move copy_to_user_real() to crash_dump.c

[Alexander Gordeev]

Function copy_to_user_real() does not really belong to maccess.c.
It is only used for copying oldmem to user space, so let's move
it to the friends.

[PATCH v4 3/4] s390/crash: use static swap buffer for copy_to_user_real()

[Alexander Gordeev]

Currently a temporary page-size buffer is allocated for copying
oldmem to user space. That limits copy_to_user_real() operation
only to stages when virtual memory is available and still makes
it possible to fail while the system is being dumped.

Instead of reallocating single page on each copy_oldmem_page()
iteration use a statically allocated buffer.

This also paves the way for a further memcpy_real() rework where
no swap buffer is needed altogether.

[PATCH v4 4/4] s390/crash: support multi-segment iterators

[Alexander Gordeev]

Make it possible to handle not only single-, but also multi-
segment iterators in copy_oldmem_iter() callback. Change the
semantics of called functions to match the iterator model -
instead of an error code the exact number of bytes copied is
returned.

The swap page used to copy data to user space is adopted for
kernel space too. That does not bring any performance impact.

OK...  Do you prefer it to go through s390 tree?  The thing is, I've
stuff in iov_iter tree that conflicts with it; I'll gladly drop that
bit (vfs.git #fixes-s390) in favour of your series (and drop s390
bits from "new iov_iter flavour - ITER_UBUF" in #work.iov_iter - they
are not needed anymore).

I can put your series into replacement of #fixes-s390, or pull it
from whatever static branch you put it into - up to you.
Preferences?

all our kdump + makedumpfile (with CP as core collector as well) work
with these patches applied.

Tested on LPAR and zVM.
With and w/o KASAN.

Hi Al,

I am preparing a branch for you.
Will retest it and let you know once it is done.

Thanks!

Hi Al,

Please find the changes since commit af2debd58bd769e38f538143f0d332e15d753396:

  s390/crash: make copy_oldmem_page() return number of bytes copied

up to ebbc9570169147740aa39aee1d61b4cc5a631644:

  s390/crash: support multi-segment iterators

are available in the Git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git	vmcore-iov_iter

Please, note three (rather trivial) prereq commits to pull along:

  f6749da17a34 s390/crash: fix incorrect number of bytes to copy to user space
  86caa4b67895 s390/crash: remove redundant panic() on save area allocation failure
  7190d84966b3 s390/mm: remove unused tprot() function

Thanks!
