[PATCH v19 00/15] splice, block: Use page pinning and kill ITER_PIPE

[PATCH v19 00/15] splice, block: Use page pinning and kill ITER_PIPE

[David Howells]

Hi Jens, Al, Christoph,

The first half of this patchset kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between
truncate, iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a
bio with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read.  This causes
memory corruption[2].  Instead, we use filemap_splice_read(), which invokes
the buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
pipe; direct_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads into it
and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or handle it in
filesystem-specific code.

 (1) Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed in
     direct_splice_read().

 (2) Turn do_splice_to() into a helper so that it can be used by overlayfs
     and coda to perform the checks on the lower fs.

 (3) Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
     in the pagecache.  We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want to
     populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it.

 (4) Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
     layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio().

 (5) Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer as
     coda doesn't provide ->read_folio().

 (6) Direct ->splice_read to direct_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
     and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
     splice pages.

 (7) Change generic_file_splice_read() to just switch between
     filemap_splice_read() and direct_splice_read() rather than using
     ITER_PIPE.

 (8) Make cifs use generic_file_splice_read().

 (9) Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read()
     was the only user.

The second half of the patchset rolls page-pinning out to the bio struct
and the block layer, using iov_iter_extract_pages() to get pages and noting
with BIO_PAGE_PINNED if the data pages attached to a bio are pinned.  If
the data pages come from a non-user-backed iterator, then the pages are
left unpinned and unref'd, relying on whoever set up the I/O to do the
retaining

(10) Don't hold a ref on ZERO_PAGE in iomap_dio_zero().

(11) Fix bio_flagged() so that it doesn't prevent a gcc optimisation.

(12) Make the bio struct carry a pair of flags to indicate the cleanup
     mode.  BIO_NO_PAGE_REF is replaced with BIO_PAGE_REFFED (indicating
     FOLL_GET was used) and BIO_PAGE_PINNED (indicating FOLL_PIN was used)
     is added.

     BIO_PAGE_REFFED will go away, but at the moment fs/direct-io.c sets it
     and this series does not fully address that file.

(13) Add a function, bio_release_page(), to release a page appropriately to
     the cleanup mode indicated by the BIO_PAGE_* flags.

(14) Make bio_iov_iter_get_pages() use iov_iter_extract_pages() to retain
     the pages appropriately and clean them up later.

(15) Make bio_map_user_iov() also use iov_iter_extract_pages().

I've pushed the patches here also:

David

Changes:
========
ver #19)
 - Remove a missed get_page() on the zeropage in shmem_splice_read().

ver #18)
 - Split out the cifs bits from the patch the switches
   generic_file_splice_read() over to using the non-ITER_PIPE splicing.
 - Don't get/put refs on the zeropage in shmem_splice_read().

ver #17)
 - Rename do_splice_to() to vfs_splice_read() and export it so that it can
   be a helper and make overlayfs and coda use it, allowing duplicate
   checks to be removed.

ver #16)
 - The filemap_get_pages() changes are now upstream.
 - filemap_splice_read() and direct_splice_read() are now upstream.
 - iov_iter_extract_pages() is now upstream.

ver #15)
 - Fixed up some errors in overlayfs_splice_read().

ver #14)
 - Some changes to generic_file_buffered_splice_read():
   - Rename to filemap_splice_read() and move to mm/filemap.c.
   - Create a helper, pipe_head_buf().
   - Use init_sync_kiocb().
 - Some changes to generic_file_direct_splice_read():
   - Use alloc_pages_bulk_array() rather than alloc_pages_bulk_list().
   - Use release_pages() instead of __free_page() in a loop.
   - Rename to direct_splice_read().
 - Rearrange the patches to implement filemap_splice_read() and
   direct_splice_read() separately to changing generic_file_splice_read().
 - Don't call generic_file_splice_read() when there isn't a ->read_folio().
 - Insert patches to fix read_folio-less cases:
   - Make tty, procfs, kernfs and (u)random use direct_splice_read().
   - Make overlayfs and coda call down to a lower layer.
   - Give shmem its own splice-read that doesn't insert missing pages.
 - Fixed a min() with mixed type args on some arches.

ver #13)
 - Only use allocation in advance and ITER_BVEC for DIO read-splice.
 - Make buffered read-splice get pages directly from the pagecache.
 - Alter filemap_get_pages() & co. so that it doesn't need an iterator.

ver #12)
 - Added the missing __bitwise on the iov_iter_extraction_t typedef.
 - Rebased on -rc7.
 - Don't specify FOLL_PIN to pin_user_pages_fast().
 - Inserted patch at front to fix race between DIO read and truncation that
   caused memory corruption when iov_iter_revert() got called on an
   ITER_PIPE iterator[2].
 - Inserted a patch after that to remove the now-unused ITER_PIPE and its
   helper functions.
 - Removed the ITER_PIPE bits from iov_iter_extract_pages().

ver #11)
 - Fix iov_iter_extract_kvec_pages() to include the offset into the page in
   the returned starting offset.
 - Use __bitwise for the extraction flags

ver #10)
 - Fix use of i->kvec in iov_iter_extract_bvec_pages() to be i->bvec.
 - Drop bio_set_cleanup_mode(), open coding it instead.

ver #9)
 - It's now not permitted to use FOLL_PIN outside of mm/, so:
 - Change iov_iter_extract_mode() into iov_iter_extract_will_pin() and
   return true/false instead of FOLL_PIN/0.
 - Drop of folio_put_unpin() and page_put_unpin() and instead call
   unpin_user_page() (and put_page()) directly as necessary.
 - Make __bio_release_pages() call bio_release_page() instead of
   unpin_user_page() as there's no BIO_* -> FOLL_* translation to do.
 - Drop the FOLL_* renumbering patch.
 - Change extract_flags to extraction_flags.

ver #8)
 - Import Christoph Hellwig's changes.
   - Split the conversion-to-extraction patch.
   - Drop the extract_flags arg from iov_iter_extract_mode().
   - Don't default bios to BIO_PAGE_REFFED, but set explicitly.
 - Switch FOLL_PIN and FOLL_GET when renumbering so PIN is at bit 0.
 - Switch BIO_PAGE_PINNED and BIO_PAGE_REFFED so PINNED is at bit 0.
 - We should always be using FOLL_PIN (not FOLL_GET) for DIO, so adjust the
   patches for that.

ver #7)
 - For now, drop the parts to pass the I/O direction to iov_iter_*pages*()
   as it turned out to be a lot more complicated, with places not setting
   IOCB_WRITE when they should, for example.
 - Drop all the patches that changed things other then the block layer's
   bio handling.  The netfslib and cifs changes can go into a separate
   patchset.
 - Add support for extracting pages from KVEC-type iterators.
 - When extracting from BVEC/KVEC, skip over empty vecs at the front.

ver #6)
 - Fix write() syscall and co. not setting IOCB_WRITE.
 - Added iocb_is_read() and iocb_is_write() to check IOCB_WRITE.
 - Use op_is_write() in bio_copy_user_iov().
 - Drop the iterator direction checks from smbd_recv().
 - Define FOLL_SOURCE_BUF and FOLL_DEST_BUF and pass them in as part of
   gup_flags to iov_iter_get/extract_pages*().
 - Replace iov_iter_get_pages*2() with iov_iter_get_pages*() and remove.
 - Add back the function to indicate the cleanup mode.
 - Drop the cleanup_mode return arg to iov_iter_extract_pages().
 - Provide a helper to clean up a page.
 - Renumbered FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN and made BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED have
   the same numerical values, enforced with an assertion.
 - Converted AF_ALG, SCSI vhost, generic DIO, FUSE, splice to pipe, 9P and
   NFS.
 - Added in the patches to make CIFS do top-to-bottom iterators and use
   various of the added extraction functions.
 - Added a pair of work-in-progess patches to make sk_buff fragments store
   FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN.

ver #5)
 - Replace BIO_NO_PAGE_REF with BIO_PAGE_REFFED and split into own patch.
 - Transcribe FOLL_GET/PIN into BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED flags.
 - Add patch to allow bio_flagged() to be combined by gcc.

ver #4)
 - Drop the patch to move the FOLL_* flags to linux/mm_types.h as they're
   no longer referenced by linux/uio.h.
 - Add ITER_SOURCE/DEST cleanup patches.
 - Make iov_iter/netfslib iter extraction patches use ITER_SOURCE/DEST.
 - Allow additional gup_flags to be passed into iov_iter_extract_pages().
 - Add struct bio patch.

ver #3)
 - Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
   to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].

ver #2)
 - Rolled the extraction cleanup mode query function into the extraction
   function, returning the indication through the argument list.
 - Fixed patch 4 (extract to scatterlist) to actually use the new
   extraction API.

[PATCH v19 01/15] splice: Clean up direct_splice_read() a bit

[David Howells]

Do a couple of cleanups to direct_splice_read():

 (1) Cast to struct page **, not void *.

 (2) Simplify the calculation of the number of pages to keep/reclaim in
     direct_splice_read().

[PATCH v19 02/15] splice: Make do_splice_to() generic and export it

[David Howells]

Rename do_splice_to() to vfs_splice_read() and export it so that it can be
used as a helper when calling down to a lower layer filesystem as it
performs all the necessary checks[1].

[PATCH v19 03/15] shmem: Implement splice-read

[David Howells]

The new filemap_splice_read() has an implicit expectation via
filemap_get_pages() that ->read_folio() exists if ->readahead() doesn't
fully populate the pagecache of the file it is reading from[1], potentially
leading to a jump to NULL if this doesn't exist.  shmem, however, (and by
extension, tmpfs, ramfs and rootfs), doesn't have ->read_folio(),

Work around this by equipping shmem with its own splice-read
implementation, based on filemap_splice_read(), but able to paste in
zero_page when there's a page missing.

[PATCH v19 06/15] tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use direct_splice_read()

[David Howells]

Use direct_splice_read() for tty, procfs, kernfs and random files rather
than going through generic_file_splice_read() as they just copy the file
into the output buffer and don't splice pages.  This avoids the need for
them to have a ->read_folio() to satisfy filemap_splice_read().

[PATCH v19 07/15] splice: Do splice read from a file without using ITER_PIPE

[David Howells]

Make generic_file_splice_read() use filemap_splice_read() and
direct_splice_read() rather than using an ITER_PIPE and call_read_iter().

With this, ITER_PIPE is no longer used.

[PATCH v19 09/15] iov_iter: Kill ITER_PIPE

[David Howells]

The ITER_PIPE-type iterator was only used for generic_file_splice_read(),
but that has now been switched to either pull pages directly from the
pagecache for buffered file splice-reads or to use ITER_BVEC instead for
O_DIRECT file splice-reads.  This leaves ITER_PIPE unused - so remove it.

[PATCH v19 11/15] block: Fix bio_flagged() so that gcc can better optimise it

[David Howells]

Fix bio_flagged() so that multiple instances of it, such as:

	if (bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_REFFED) ||
	    bio_flagged(bio, BIO_PAGE_PINNED))

can be combined by the gcc optimiser into a single test in assembly
(arguably, this is a compiler optimisation issue[1]).

The missed optimisation stems from bio_flagged() comparing the result of
the bitwise-AND to zero.  This results in an out-of-line bio_release_page()
being compiled to something like:

   <+0>:     mov    0x14(%rdi),%eax
   <+3>:     test   $0x1,%al
   <+5>:     jne    0xffffffff816dac53 <bio_release_pages+11>
   <+7>:     test   $0x2,%al
   <+9>:     je     0xffffffff816dac5c <bio_release_pages+20>
   <+11>:    movzbl %sil,%esi
   <+15>:    jmp    0xffffffff816daba1 <__bio_release_pages>
   <+20>:    jmp    0xffffffff81d0b800 <__x86_return_thunk>

However, the test is superfluous as the return type is bool.  Removing it
results in:

   <+0>:     testb  $0x3,0x14(%rdi)
   <+4>:     je     0xffffffff816e4af4 <bio_release_pages+15>
   <+6>:     movzbl %sil,%esi
   <+10>:    jmp    0xffffffff816dab7c <__bio_release_pages>
   <+15>:    jmp    0xffffffff81d0b7c0 <__x86_return_thunk>

instead.

Also, the MOVZBL instruction looks unnecessary[2] - I think it's just
're-booling' the mark_dirty parameter.

       directly.
     - Use bio_release_page() in __bio_release_pages().

     - Put BIO_PAGE_PINNED before BIO_PAGE_REFFED as the latter should
       probably be removed at some point.  FOLL_PIN can then be renumbered
       first.

[PATCH v19 14/15] block: Convert bio_iov_iter_get_pages to use iov_iter_extract_pages

[David Howells]

This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather than getting a ref on
them as appropriate to the iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO rather than having refs taken on them to
prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent fork() (the
result of the I/O could otherwise end up being affected by/visible to the
child process).

[PATCH v19 15/15] block: convert bio_map_user_iov to use iov_iter_extract_pages

[David Howells]

This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather than getting a ref on
them as appropriate to the iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO rather than having refs taken on them
to prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent fork()
(the result of the I/O could otherwise end up being visible to/affected by
the child process).

Notes:
    ver #10)
     - Drop bio_set_cleanup_mode(), open coding it instead.
    
    ver #8)
     - Split the patch up a bit [hch].
     - We should only be using pinned/non-pinned pages and not ref'd pages,
       so adjust the comments appropriately.
    
    ver #7)
     - Don't treat BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED as being the same as FOLL_GET/PIN.
    
    ver #5)
     - Transcribe the FOLL_* flags returned by iov_iter_extract_pages() to
       BIO_* flags and got rid of bi_cleanup_mode.
     - Replaced BIO_NO_PAGE_REF to BIO_PAGE_REFFED in the preceding patch.

Dave, now that the basic patchset is in, can you resurrect the
patch to conver the legacy direct-io code?  That would allow
us to instantly the PAGE_REF version of the bio_release_pages,
and also be a giant step toward never modifying page contents
from a regular get_user_pages, and thus fix the file system
problems around that.
