[PATCH net-next 3/8] crypto: af_alg: Pin pages rather than ref'ing if appropriate

From: David Howells
Date: Fri May 26 2023 - 10:32:27 EST


Convert AF_ALG to use iov_iter_extract_pages() instead of
iov_iter_get_pages(). This will pin pages or leave them unaltered rather
than getting a ref on them as appropriate to the iterator.

The pages need to be pinned for DIO-read rather than having refs taken on
them to prevent VM copy-on-write from malfunctioning during a concurrent
fork() (the result of the I/O would otherwise end up only visible to the
child process and not the parent).
