[RFC PATCH 05/37] teach copy_page_to_iter() to handle compound pages

From: Al Viro
Date: Sun Jun 06 2021 - 15:10:59 EST


In situation when copy_page_to_iter() got a compound page the current
code would only work on systems with no CONFIG_HIGHMEM. It *is* the majority
of real-world setups, or we would've drown in bug reports by now. Still needs
fixing.

Current variant works for solitary page; rename that to
__copy_page_to_iter() and turn the handling of compound pages into a loop over
subpages.
