i_size check is a leftover from the horrors that used to play with
the page cache in that function. With the switch to ->read_iter(),
it's neither needed nor correct - for gfs2 it ends up being buggy,
since i_size is not guaranteed to be correct until later (inside
->read_iter()).

by making sure we call iov_iter_advance() on original
iov_iter even if direct_IO (done on its copy) has returned 0.
It's a no-op for old iov_iter flavours and does the right thing
(== truncation of the stuff we'd allocated, but not filled) in
ITER_PIPE case. Failures (e.g. -EIO) get caught and dealt with
by cleanup in generic_file_read_iter().

we only use iov_iter_get_pages_alloc() and iov_iter_advance() -
pages are filled by kernel_readv() via a kvec array (as we used
to do all along), so iov_iter here is used only as a way of
arranging for those pages to be in pipe.

iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter()
copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into
the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the
page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible.
iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages()
and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the
pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance()
will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to.
New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those.
pipe should be locked all along.
Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones;
in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short
read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing
copied there.
In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like
->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users,
as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched
to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.

single-buffer analogue of splice_to_pipe(); vmsplice_to_pipe() switched

* splice_to_pipe() stops at pipe overflow and does *not* take pipe_lock
* ->splice_read() instances do the same
* vmsplice_to_pipe() and do_splice() (ultimate callers of splice_to_pipe())
arrange for waiting, looping, etc. themselves.
That should make pipe_lock the outermost one.
Unfortunately, existing rules for the amount passed by vmsplice_to_pipe()
and do_splice() are quite ugly _and_ userland code can be easily broken
by changing those. It's not even "no more than the maximal capacity of
this pipe" - it's "once we'd fed pipe->nr_buffers pages into the pipe,
leave instead of waiting".
Considering how poorly these rules are documented, let's try "wait for some
space to appear, unless given SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK, then push into pipe
and if we run into overflow, we are done".

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This is because tracing_splice_read_pipe() can call splice_to_pipe()
with spd->nr_pages == 0. spd_pages underflows in splice_to_pipe() and
we fill the page pointers and the other fields of the pipe_buffers with
garbage.
All other callers of splice_to_pipe() avoid calling it when nr_pages ==
0, and we could make tracing_splice_read_pipe() do that too, but it
seems reasonable to have splice_to_page() handle this condition
gracefully.

During testing, I discovered that __generic_file_splice_read() returns
0 (EOF) when aops->readpage fails with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE on the first
page of a single/multi-page splice read operation. This EOF return code
causes the userspace test to (correctly) report a zero-length read error
when it was expecting otherwise.
The current strategy of returning a partial non-zero read when ->readpage
returns AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE works only when the failed page is not the
first of the lot being processed.
This patch attempts to retry lookup and call ->readpage again on pages
that had previously failed with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. With this patch, my
tests pass and I haven't noticed any unwanted side effects.
This version removes the thrice-retry loop and instead indefinitely
retries lookups on AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE errors from ->readpage. This
behavior is now similar to do_generic_file_read().

Commit 296291cdd1 (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where
sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus
was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to
issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or
similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem
write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example
from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to
be killed:
int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
int r2 = memfd_create("", 0);
unsigned long n = 1<<30;
fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);
There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile
code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to
trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into
splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to
be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the
do-ton-of-tiny-writes nature.

page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and
__ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling
add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the
direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic.
This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

After investivation, it appears that sendfile() sends the files by blocks
of 64kbytes (16 times PAGE_SIZE). The problem is that at the end of each
block, the SPLICE_F_MORE flag is missing, therefore the hashing operation
is reset as if it was the end of the file.
This patch adds SPLICE_F_MORE to the flags when more data is pending.
With the patch applied, we get the correct sums:

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.
In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.
What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.
For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine. It uses
the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).
