2016-10-05new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backedAl Viro1-0/+1
iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter() copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible. iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages() and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance() will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to. New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those. pipe should be locked all along. Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones; in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing copied there. In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like ->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users, as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.

2016-10-03new helper: add_to_pipe()Al Viro1-0/+2
single-buffer analogue of splice_to_pipe(); vmsplice_to_pipe() switched to that, leaving splice_to_pipe() only for ->splice_read() instances (and that only until they are converted as well). Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-06-12fs/splice.c: remove unneeded exportsAl Viro1-10/+0
ocfs2 was using a bunch of splice.c guts... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-01-27splice: fix unexpected size truncationXiao Guangrong1-1/+2
@splice_desc.total_len is 32 bit(unsigned int) which is used to store the size passed from userspace which is 64 bit(size_t) so that the size is unexpectedly truncated That means vmsplice can not work if the size passed from userspace is >= 4G, for example, we noticed in vmsplice, splice-reader does not do anything and splice-writer is waiting for available buffer forever if the size is 4G Fix it by extending @splice_desc.total_len to 64 bits as well Signed-off-by: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-06-13splice: fix racy pipe->buffers usesEric Dumazet1-4/+4
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe() commit 35f3d14dbbc5 (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes) added capability to adjust pipe->buffers. Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration. Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate. splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

2011-07-25tmpfs: clone shmem_file_splice_read()Hugh Dickins1-0/+2
Copy __generic_file_splice_read() and generic_file_splice_read() from fs/splice.c to shmem_file_splice_read() in mm/shmem.c. Make page_cache_pipe_buf_ops and spd_release_page() accessible to it.

2010-05-21pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipesJens Axboe1-0/+7
This patch adds F_GETPIPE_SZ and F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl() actions for growing and shrinking the size of a pipe and adjusts pipe.c and splice.c (and relay and network splice) usage to work with these larger (or smaller) pipes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-05-12splice: fix misleading commentJens Axboe1-2/+1
Splice is tied to pipes by design, it'll not change. And now that the splice stuff is in splice.h (and note pipe.h), the rest of the comment is out-of-date as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15ocfs2: fix i_mutex locking in ocfs2_splice_to_file()Miklos Szeredi1-0/+2
Rearrange locking of i_mutex on destination and call to ocfs2_rw_lock() so locks are only held while buffers are copied with the pipe_to_file() actor, and not while waiting for more data on the pipe. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-15splice: split up __splice_from_pipe()Miklos Szeredi1-0/+10
Split up __splice_from_pipe() into four helper functions: splice_from_pipe_begin() splice_from_pipe_next() splice_from_pipe_feed() splice_from_pipe_end() splice_from_pipe_next() will wait (if necessary) for more buffers to be added to the pipe. splice_from_pipe_feed() will feed the buffers to the supplied actor and return when there's no more data available (or if all of the requested data has been copied). This is necessary so that implementations can do locking around the non-waiting splice_from_pipe_feed(). This patch should not cause any change in behavior.

2008-01-28[SPLICE]: Don't assume regular pages in splice_to_pipe()Jens Axboe1-0/+1
Allow caller to pass in a release function, there might be other resources that need releasing as well. Needed for network receive. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-07-10pipe: allow passing around of ops private pointerJens Axboe1-0/+1
relay needs this for proper consumption handling, and the network receive support needs it as well to lookup the sk_buff on pipe release. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-10splice: divorce the splice structure/function definitions from the pipe headerJens Axboe1-0/+72
We need to move even more stuff into the header so that folks can use the splice_to_pipe() implementation instead of open-coding a lot of pipe knowledge (see relay implementation), so move to our own header file finally. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
