2017-01-14fix a fencepost error in pipe_advance()Al Viro1-23/+31
The logics in pipe_advance() used to release all buffers past the new position failed in cases when the number of buffers to release was equal to pipe->buffers. If that happened, none of them had been released, leaving pipe full. Worse, it was trivial to trigger and we end up with pipe full of uninitialized pages. IOW, it's an infoleak.

2016-12-22[iov_iter] fix iterate_all_kinds() on empty iteratorsAl Viro1-29/+26
Problem similar to ones dealt with in "fold checks into iterate_and_advance()" and followups, except that in this case we really want to do nothing when asked for zero-length operation - unlike zero-length iterate_and_advance(), zero-length iterate_all_kinds() has no side effects, and callers are simpler that way. That got exposed when copy_from_iter_full() had been used by tipc, which builds an msghdr with zero payload and (now) feeds it to a primitive based on iterate_all_kinds() instead of iterate_and_advance().

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially for cycles that end up being as busy as this one. The major parts of this pull request is: - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small private implementation instead of using the pig that is fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph. - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the writeback queue throttling code. - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me. - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me. - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes and Shaun. - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef. - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From Christoph. - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue stopping and starting in blk-mq. - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya. - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias. - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code.

2016-12-05[iov_iter] new primitives - copy_from_iter_full() and friendsAl Viro1-2/+96
copy_from_iter_full(), copy_from_iter_full_nocache() and csum_and_copy_from_iter_full() - counterparts of copy_from_iter() et.al., advancing iterator only in case of successful full copy and returning whether it had been successful or not. Convert some obvious users. *NOTE* - do not blindly assume that something is a good candidate for those unless you are sure that not advancing iov_iter in failure case is the right thing in this case. Anything that does short read/short write kind of stuff (or is in a loop, etc.) is unlikely to be a good one. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2016-11-17fix iov_iter_advance() for ITER_PIPEAbhi Das1-1/+3
iov_iter_advance() needs to decrement iter->count by the number of bytes we'd moved beyond.

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array (typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the fast path (i.e. few iovec elements). The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between the too.

2016-10-05new iov_iter flavour: pipe-backedAl Viro1-2/+395
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.

2016-07-28mm: optimize copy_page_to/from_iter_iovecMikulas Patocka1-2/+6
copy_page_to_iter_iovec() and copy_page_from_iter_iovec() copy some data to userspace or from userspace. These functions have a fast path where they map a page using kmap_atomic and a slow path where they use kmap. kmap is slower than kmap_atomic, so the fast path is preferred. However, on kernels without highmem support, kmap just calls page_address, so there is no need to avoid kmap. On kernels without highmem support, the fast path just increases code size (and cache footprint) and it doesn't improve copy performance in any way. This patch enables the fast path only if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is defined.

2016-05-25do "fold checks into iterate_and_advance()" rightAl Viro1-1/+1
the only case when we should skip the iterate_and_advance() guts is when nothing's left in the iterator, _not_ just when requested amount is 0. Said guts will do nothing in the latter case anyway; the problem we tried to deal with in the aforementioned commit is that when there's nothing left *and* the amount requested is 0, we might end up deferencing one iovec too many; the value we fetch from there is discarded in that case, but theoretically it might oops if the iovec array ends exactly at the end of page with the next page not mapped. Bailing out on zero size requested had an unexpected side effect - zero-length segment in the beginning of iovec array ended up throwing do_loop_readv_writev() into infinite spin; we do not advance past the empty segment at all. Reproducer is trivial: echo '#include <sys/uio.h>' >a.c echo 'main() {char c; struct iovec v[] = {{&c,0},{&c,1}}; readv(0,v,2);}' >>a.c cc a.c && ./a.out </proc/uptime which should end up with the process not hanging.

they are open-coded in all users except iov_iter_advance(), and there they wouldn't be a bad idea either - as it is, iov_iter_advance(i, 0) ends up dereferencing potentially past the end of iovec array. It doesn't do anything with the value it reads, and very unlikely to trigger an oops on dereference, but it is not impossible.

2015-03-30saner iov_iter initialization primitivesAl Viro1-0/+57
iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties: * no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array * total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT * all ranges pass access_ok(). The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole. We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer) if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter. That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec(). Calling conventions: iovec = iov_array; err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs, ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec, &iter); imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec. On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated. compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec; otherwise it's identical to import_iovec(). Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec covering a user-supplied range - err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter); does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets silently truncated. Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.
