[PATCH v5 3/9] fs: add RWF_ENCODED for reading/writing compressed data

[Omar Sandoval <osandov@osandov.com>]

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>

Btrfs supports transparent compression: data written by the user can be
compressed when written to disk and decompressed when read back.
However, we'd like to add an interface to write pre-compressed data
directly to the filesystem, and the matching interface to read
compressed data without decompressing it. This adds support for
so-called "encoded I/O" via preadv2() and pwritev2().

A new RWF_ENCODED flags indicates that a read or write is "encoded". If
this flag is set, iov[0].iov_base points to a struct encoded_iov which
is used for metadata: namely, the compression algorithm, unencoded
(i.e., decompressed) length, and what subrange of the unencoded data
should be used (needed for truncated or hole-punched extents and when
reading in the middle of an extent). For reads, the filesystem returns
this information; for writes, the caller provides it to the filesystem.
iov[0].iov_len must be set to sizeof(struct encoded_iov), which can be
used to extend the interface in the future a la copy_struct_from_user().
The remaining iovecs contain the encoded extent.

This adds the VFS helpers for supporting encoded I/O and documentation
for filesystem support.

+===========
+Encoded I/O
+===========
+
+Encoded I/O is a mechanism for reading and writing encoded (e.g., compressed
+and/or encrypted) data directly from/to the filesystem. The userspace interface
+is thoroughly described in the :manpage:`encoded_io(7)` man page; this document
+describes the requirements for filesystem support.
+
+First of all, a filesystem supporting encoded I/O must indicate this by setting
+the ``FMODE_ENCODED_IO`` flag in its ``file_open`` file operation::
+
+    static int foo_file_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp)
+    {
+            ...
+            filep->f_mode |= FMODE_ENCODED_IO;
+            ...
+    }
+
+Encoded I/O goes through ``read_iter`` and ``write_iter``, designated by the
+``IOCB_ENCODED`` flag in ``kiocb->ki_flags``.
+
+Reads
+=====
+
+Encoded ``read_iter`` should:
+
+1. Call ``generic_encoded_read_checks()`` to validate the file and buffers
+   provided by userspace.
+2. Initialize the ``encoded_iov`` appropriately.
+3. Copy it to the user with ``copy_encoded_iov_to_iter()``.
+4. Copy the encoded data to the user.
+5. Advance ``kiocb->ki_pos`` by ``encoded_iov->len``.
+6. Return the size of the encoded data read, not including the ``encoded_iov``.
+
+There are a few details to be aware of:
+
+* Encoded ``read_iter`` should support reading unencoded data if the extent is
+  not encoded.
+* If the buffers provided by the user are not large enough to contain an entire
+  encoded extent, then ``read_iter`` should return ``-ENOBUFS``. This is to
+  avoid confusing userspace with truncated data that cannot be properly
+  decoded.
+* Reads in the middle of an encoded extent can be returned by setting
+  ``encoded_iov->unencoded_offset`` to non-zero.
+* Truncated unencoded data (e.g., because the file does not end on a block
+  boundary) may be returned by setting ``encoded_iov->len`` to a value smaller
+  value than ``encoded_iov->unencoded_len - encoded_iov->unencoded_offset``.
+
+Writes
+======
+
+Encoded ``write_iter`` should (in addition to the usual accounting/checks done
+by ``write_iter``):
+
+1. Call ``copy_encoded_iov_from_iter()`` to get and validate the
+   ``encoded_iov``.
+2. Call ``generic_encoded_write_checks()`` instead of
+   ``generic_write_checks()``.
+3. Check that the provided encoding in ``encoded_iov`` is supported.
+4. Advance ``kiocb->ki_pos`` by ``encoded_iov->len``.
+5. Return the size of the encoded data written.
+
+Again, there are a few details:
+
+* Encoded ``write_iter`` doesn't need to support writing unencoded data.
+* ``write_iter`` should either write all of the encoded data or none of it; it
+  must not do partial writes.
+* ``write_iter`` doesn't need to validate the encoded data; a subsequent read
+  may return, e.g., ``-EIO`` if the data is not valid.
+* The user may lie about the unencoded size of the data; a subsequent read
+  should truncate or zero-extend the unencoded data rather than returning an
+  error.
+* Be careful of page cache coherency.
