Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this
  window.

  Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter
  work.  There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next
  merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of
  boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and
  splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into
  the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having
  (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into
  mainline and with some I want more testing.

  This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to
  usual beating.  BTW, readahead02 in ltp syscalls testsuite has started
  giving failures since "mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for
  memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages" - might be a false
  positive, might be a real regression..."

block: Fix for_each_bvec()

2014-04-09T14:00:01+00:00

Commit 4550dd6c6b062 introduced for_each_bvec() which iterates over each
bvec attached to a bio or bip. However, the macro fails to check bi_size
before dereferencing which can lead to crashes while counting/mapping
integrity scatterlist segments.

block: Fix cloning of discard/write same bios

2014-02-11T15:40:45+00:00

Immutable biovecs changed the way bio segments are treated in such a way that
bio_for_each_segment() cannot now do what we want for discard/write same bios,
since bi_size means something completely different for them.

Fortunately discard and write same bios never have more than a single biovec, so
bio_for_each_segment() is unnecessary and not terribly meaningful for them, but
we still have to special case them in a few places.

fs: Add prototype declaration to appropriate header file include/linux/bio.h

2014-02-09T20:56:23+00:00

Add prototype declaration to header file include/linux/bio.h because it
is used by more than one file.

This eliminates the following warning in bio-integrity.c:
fs/bio-integrity.c:214:14: warning: no previous prototype for ‘bio_integrity_tag_size’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]

block: Introduce new bio_split()

2013-11-24T06:33:57+00:00

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.

Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.

(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly
documented semantics anyways.)

block: Generic bio chaining

2013-11-24T06:33:56+00:00

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is
going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be
very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers
were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully.

Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once
on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore
bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all
- in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the
bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper. But for now,
we add a bio_endio_nodec() for these cases.

dm: Refactor for new bio cloning/splitting

2013-11-24T06:33:55+00:00

We need to convert the dm code to the new bvec_iter primitives which
respect bi_bvec_done; they also allow us to drastically simplify dm's
bio splitting code.

Also, it's no longer necessary to save/restore the bvec array anymore -
driver conversions for immutable bvecs are done, so drivers should never
be modifying it.

Also kill bio_sector_offset(), dm was the only user and it doesn't make
much sense anymore.
