[PATCH 00/10] iov_iter: Add new iters and use with AFS

[David Howells]

Hi Al,

Here's a set of patches that adds two new iov_iter types and then makes AFS
use them to do I/O.  The iov_iter changes are:

 (1) Separate the type from the direction in the iov_iter struct and
     provide accessor functions to wrap type checking.

 (2) Renumber the type constants to be contiguous small unsigned integers,
     starting from 0 and then use switch-statements rather than if-else
     chains using bit-testing.

     Note that the compiler can optimise this better by using CMP rather
     than AND/TEST, say, as comparing integers requires fewer CMP
     instructions or can use jump tables.

 (3) Change iov_offset from size_t to loff_t.  This allows iov_offset to be
     then used as a byte offset with ITER_MAPPING and allows 4GiB and larger
     reads and writes to be proposed.

     This makes no difference on a 64-bit system, but does make a 32-bit
     compilation a bit larger.

 (4) Add an ITER_MAPPING iterator type.  This provides an iterator that
     directly accesses an address_space, and assumes that the target pages
     are in some way locked (eg. PG_lock or PG_writeback).

 (5) Add an ITER_DISCARD iterator type.  This provides an iterator that
     simply discards anything written to it.  It cannot be used as a data
     source.

The afs changes are:

 (1) Use a single ITER_MAPPING iterator to cover all the data read by a
     single FetchData RPC op.  This involves switching the operation to an
     ITER_KVEC iterator to read the status record that's transmitted after
     the data.

 (2) Use an ITER_DISCARD iterator to discard any extra data the server may
     have included that we don't want.

 (3) Use a single ITER_MAPPING iterator to cover all the data written by a
     single StoreData RPC op.

 (4) Add synchronous O_DIRECT read support.

This should also be useful for doing direct I/O from cachefiles.
