We often need to find whether the last buffer is anon or not, and
currently it's rather clumsy:
check if ->iov_offset is non-zero (i.e. that pipe is not empty)
if so, get the corresponding pipe_buffer and check its ->ops
if it's &default_pipe_buf_ops, we have an anon buffer.
Let's replace the use of ->iov_offset (which is nowhere near similar to
its role for other flavours) with signed field (->last_offset), with
the following rules:
empty, no buffers occupied: 0
anon, with bytes up to N-1 filled: N
zero-copy, with bytes up to N-1 filled: -N
That way abs(i->last_offset) is equal to what used to be in i->iov_offset
and empty vs. anon vs. zero-copy can be distinguished by the sign of
i->last_offset.
Checks for "should we extend the last buffer or should we start
a new one?" become easier to follow that way.
Note that most of the operations can only be done in a sane
state - i.e. when the pipe has nothing past the current position of
iterator. About the only thing that could be done outside of that
state is iov_iter_advance(), which transitions to the sane state by
truncating the pipe. There are only two cases where we leave the
sane state:
1) iov_iter_get_pages()/iov_iter_get_pages_alloc(). Will be
dealt with later, when we make get_pages advancing - the callers are
actually happier that way.
2) iov_iter copied, then something is put into the copy. Since
they share the underlying pipe, the original gets behind. When we
decide that we are done with the copy (original is not usable until then)
we advance the original. direct_io used to be done that way; nowadays
it operates on the original and we do iov_iter_revert() to discard
the excessive data. At the moment there's nothing in the kernel that
could do that to ITER_PIPE iterators, so this reason for insane state
is theoretical right now.

on success, NULL on failure. iov_iter is advanced past the

Use that instead of push_pipe() in copy-to-pipe primitives;
they get simpler that way. Handling of short copy (in "mc" one)
is done simply by iov_iter_revert() - iov_iter is in consistent
state after that one, so we can use that.

There are only two kinds of pipe_buffer in the area used by ITER_PIPE.
1) anonymous - copy_to_iter() et.al. end up creating those and copying
data there. They have zero ->offset, and their ->ops points to
default_pipe_page_ops.
2) zero-copy ones - those come from copy_page_to_iter(), and page
comes from caller. ->offset is also caller-supplied - it might be
non-zero. ->ops points to page_cache_pipe_buf_ops.
Move creation and insertion of those into helpers - push_anon(pipe, size)
and push_page(pipe, page, offset, size) resp., separating them from
the "could we avoid creating a new buffer by merging with the current
head?" logics.

pipe_buffer instances of a pipe are organized as a ring buffer,
with power-of-2 size. Indices are kept *not* reduced modulo ring
size, so the buffer refered to by index N is
pipe->bufs[N & (pipe->ring_size - 1)].
Ring size can change over the lifetime of a pipe, but not while
the pipe is locked. So for any iov_iter primitives it's a constant.
Original conversion of pipes to this layout went overboard trying
to microoptimize that - calculating pipe->ring_size - 1, storing
it in a local variable and using through the function. In some
cases it might be warranted, but most of the times it only
obfuscates what's going on in there.
Introduce a helper (pipe_buf(pipe, N)) that would encapsulate
that and use it in the obvious cases. More will follow...

Commit 6c77676645 ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.
The reason is that we now do
min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'. As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.
In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.
Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.
But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.
And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):
lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
| ^~
lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
| ^~~
This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').
Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.
[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.
Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
identical.
So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]

The maths at the end of iter_xarray_get_pages() to calculate the actual
size doesn't work under some circumstances, such as when it's been asked to
extract a partial single page. Various terms of the equation cancel out
and you end up with actual == offset. The same issue exists in
iter_xarray_get_pages_alloc().
Fix these to just use min() to select the lesser amount from between the
amount of page content transcribed into the buffer, minus the offset, and
the size limit specified.
This doesn't appear to have caused a problem yet upstream because network
filesystems aren't getting the pages from an xarray iterator, but rather
passing it directly to the socket, which just iterates over it. Cachefiles
*does* do DIO from one to/from ext4/xfs/btrfs/etc. but it always asks for
whole pages to be written or read.

In an ideal world, when someone is passed an iov_iter and returns X bytes,
then X bytes would have been consumed/advanced from the iov_iter. But we
have use cases that always consume the entire iterator, a few examples
of that are iomap and bdev O_DIRECT. This means we cannot rely on the
state of the iov_iter once we've called ->read_iter() or ->write_iter().
This would be easier if we didn't always have to deal with truncate of
the iov_iter, as rewinding would be trivial without that. We recently
added a commit to track the truncate state, but that grew the iov_iter
by 8 bytes and wasn't the best solution.
Implement a helper to save enough of the iov_iter state to sanely restore
it after we've called the read/write iterator helpers. This currently
only works for IOVEC/BVEC/KVEC as that's all we need, support for other
iterator types are left as an exercise for the reader.

This warning was there to catch any architectures that still use
CONFIG_SET_FS, and that would mis-use iov_iter_init() for anything that
wasn't a proper user space pointer. So that
WARN_ON_ONCE(uaccess_kernel());
makes perfect conceptual sense: you really shouldn't use a kernel
pointer with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) and then pass it to iov_iter_init().
HOWEVER.
Guenter Roeck reports that this warning actually triggers in no-mmu
configurations of both ARM and m68k. And the reason isn't that they
pass in a kernel pointer under set_fs(KERNEL_DS) at all: the reason is
that in those configurations, "uaccess_kernel()" is simply not reliable.
Those no-mmu setups set USER_DS and KERNEL_DS to the same values, so you
can't test for the difference.
In particular, the no-mmu case for ARM does
#define USER_DS KERNEL_DS
#define uaccess_kernel() (true)
so USER_DS and KERNEL_DS have the same value, and uaccess_kernel() is
always trivially true.
The m68k case is slightly different and not quite as obvious. It does
(spread out over multiple header files just to be extra exciting:
asm/processor.h, asm/segment.h and asm-generic/uaccess.h):
#define TASK_SIZE (0xFFFFFFFFUL)
#define USER_DS MAKE_MM_SEG(TASK_SIZE)
#define KERNEL_DS MAKE_MM_SEG(~0UL)
#define get_fs() (current_thread_info()->addr_limit)
#define uaccess_kernel() (get_fs().seg == KERNEL_DS.seg)
but the end result is the same: uaccess_kernel() will always be true,
because USER_DS and KERNEL_DS end up having the same value, even if that
value is defined differently.
This is very arguably a misfeature in those implementations, but in the
end we don't really care. All modern architectures have gotten rid of
set_fs() already, and generic kernel code never uses it. And while the
sanity check was a nice idea, an architecture would have to go the extra
mile to actually break this.
So this well-intentioned warning isn't really all that likely to find
anything but these known false positives, and as such just isn't worth
maintaining.
