Hi all,

here's another update on top of v5.14-rc4.  There seems to be a bug in
get_user_pages_fast when called with FOLL_FAST_ONLY; please see below.

Changes:

 * Change fault_in_pages_{readable,writeable} to return the number of
   bytes that should be accessible instead of failing outright when
   part of the requested region cannot be faulted in.  Change
   iov_iter_fault_in_readable to those same semantics.

 * Add fault_in_iov_iter_writeable for safely faulting in pages for
   writing without modifying the pages.


With this patch queue, fstest generic/208 (aio-dio-invalidate-failure.c)
endlessly spins in gfs2_file_direct_write.  It looks as if there's a bug
in get_user_pages_fast when called with FOLL_FAST_ONLY:

 (1) The test case performs an aio write into a 32 MB buffer.

 (2) The buffer is initially not in memory, so when iomap_dio_rw() ->
     ... -> bio_iov_iter_get_pages() is called with the iter->noio flag
     set, we get to get_user_pages_fast() with FOLL_FAST_ONLY set.
     get_user_pages_fast() returns 0, which causes
     bio_iov_iter_get_pages to return -EFAULT.

 (3) Then gfs2_file_direct_write faults in the entire buffer with
     fault_in_iov_iter_readable(), which succeeds.

 (4) With the buffer in memory, we retry the iomap_dio_rw() ->
     ... -> bio_iov_iter_get_pages() -> ... -> get_user_pages_fast().
     This should succeed now, but get_user_pages_fast() still returns 0.

 (5) Thus we end up in step (3) again.

The buffered writes generic/208 performs are unrelated to this hang.


Apart from the generic/208 hang, gfs2 still needs a better strategy for
faulting in more reasonable chunks of memory at a time and for resuming
requests after faulting in pages.  We've got some of the pieces in place
for safely allowing that, but more work remains to be done.


For immediate consideration by Al Viro:

  iov_iter: Fix iov_iter_get_pages{,_alloc} page fault return value


For immediate consideration by Paul Mackerras:

  powerpc/kvm: Fix kvm_use_magic_page


Thanks,
Andreas
