Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/8] crypto, splice, net: Make AF_ALG handle sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
Date: Fri, 26 May 2023 15:30:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230526143104.882842-1-dhowells@redhat.com> (raw)
Here's the fourth tranche of patches towards providing a MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
internal sendmsg flag that is intended to replace the ->sendpage() op with
calls to sendmsg(). MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is a hint that tells the protocol
that it should splice the pages supplied if it can.
This set consists of the following parts:
(1) Move netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() to somewhere more general and rename
it to drop the "netfs" prefix. We use this to extract directly from
an iterator into a scatterlist.
(2) Make AF_ALG use iov_iter_extract_pages(). This has the additional
effect of pinning pages obtained from userspace rather than taking
refs on them. Pages from kernel-backed iterators would not be pinned,
but AF_ALG isn't really meant for use by kernel services.
(3) Change AF_ALG still further to use extract_iter_to_sg().
(4) Make af_alg_sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES support and make
af_alg_sendpage() just a wrapper around sendmsg(). This has to take
refs on the pages pinned for the moment.
(5) Make hash_sendmsg() support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES by simply ignoring it.
hash_sendpage() is left untouched to be removed later, after the
splice core has been changed to call sendmsg().
I've pushed the patches here also:
