Subject: clean up kernel_{read,write} & friends v5
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 18:13:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200624161335.1810359-1-hch@lst.de> (raw)

Hi Al,

this series fixes a few issues and cleans up the helpers that read from
or write to kernel space buffers, and ensures that we don't change the
address limit if we are using the ->read_iter and ->write_iter methods
that don't need the changed address limit.

I did not add your suggested comments on the instances using
uaccess_kernel as all of them already have comments.  If you have
anything better in mind feel free to throw in additional comments.


Changes since v4:
 - warn on calling __kernel_write on files not open for write
 - add a FMODE_READ check and warning in __kernel_read
 - add a new patch to remove kernel_readv
 - stop preferring the iter variants if normal read/write is
   present

Changes since v3:
 - keep call_read_iter/call_write_iter for now
 - don't modify an existing long line
 - update a change log

Changes since v2:
 - picked up a few ACKs

Changes since v1:
 - __kernel_write must not take sb_writers
 - unexport __kernel_write
