"This contains:
- Support for recvmsg/sendmsg as first class opcodes.
I don't envision going much further down this path, as there are
plans in progress to support potentially any system call in an
async fashion through io_uring. But I think it does make sense to
have certain core ops available directly, especially those that can
support a "try this non-blocking" flag/mode. (me)
- Handle generic short reads automatically.
This can happen fairly easily if parts of the buffered read is
cached. Since the application needs to issue another request for
the remainder, just do this internally and save kernel/user
roundtrip while providing a nicer more robust API. (me)
- Support for linked SQEs.
This allows SQEs to depend on each other, enabling an application
to eg queue a read-from-this-file,write-to-that-file pair. (me)
- Fix race in stopping SQ thread (Jackie)"

For ITER_BVEC, if we're holding on to kernel pages, the caller
doesn't need to grab a reference to the bvec pages, and drop that
same reference on IO completion. This is essentially safe for any
ITER_BVEC, but some use cases end up reusing pages and uncondtionally
dropping a page reference on completion. And example of that is
sendfile(2), that ends up being a splice_in + splice_out on the
pipe pages.
Add a flag that tells us it's fine to not grab a page reference
to the bvec pages, since that caller knows not to drop a reference
when it's done with the pages.

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.
Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further
iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.
Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro:
"This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile.
For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user
to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks,
basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter
primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(),
object size and KASAN.
- access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up.
However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that
there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard
and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is
also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual
copyin/copyout.
- might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs
to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe
the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The
call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything -
in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we
do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout. It's not
quite what we need to check (in particular, combination of
iovec-backed and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is almost certainly a bug, not a
cause to skip checks), but that's for later series. For now let's
keep might_fault().
- KASAN checks belong in copyin/copyout - at the same level where
other iov_iter flavours would've hit them in memcpy().
- object size checks should apply to *all* iov_iter flavours, not
just iovec-backed ones.
There are two groups of primitives - one gets the kernel object
described as pointer + size (copy_to_iter(), etc.) while another gets
it as page + offset + size (copy_page_to_iter(), etc.)
For the first group the checks are best done where we actually have a
chance to find the object size. In other words, those belong in inline
wrappers in uio.h, before calling into iov_iter.c. Same kind as we
have for inlined part of copy_to_user().
For the second group there is no object to look at - offset in page is
just a number, it bears no type information. So we do them in the
common helper called by iov_iter.c primitives of that kind. All it
currently does is checking that we are not trying to access outside of
the compound page; eventually we might want to add some sanity checks
on the page involved.
So the things we need in copyin/copyout part of iov_iter.c do not
quite match anything in uaccess.h (we want no zeroing, we *do* want
access_ok() and KASAN and we want no might_fault() or object size
checks done on that level). OTOH, these needs are simple enough to
provide a couple of helpers (static in iov_iter.c) doing just what we
need..."

There we actually have useful information about object sizes.
Note: this patch has them done for all iov_iter flavours.
Right now we do them twice in iovec case, but that'll change
very shortly.

The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

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.

iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties:
* no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array
* total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT
* all ranges pass access_ok().
The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the
primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those
primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we
managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to
spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in
sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole.
We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and
compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the
resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer)
if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter.
That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec().
Calling conventions:
iovec = iov_array;
err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs,
ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec,
&iter);
imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated
if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to
refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL
if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec.
On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total
size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated.
compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec;
otherwise it's identical to import_iovec().
Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec
covering a user-supplied range -
err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter);
does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets
silently truncated.
Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing
the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.

Copy iter and kmemdup the underlying array for the copy. Returns
a pointer to result of kmemdup() to be kfree()'d later.

Pull iov_iter updates from Al Viro:
"More iov_iter work - missing counterpart of iov_iter_init() for
bvec-backed ones and vfs_read_iter()/vfs_write_iter() - wrappers for
sync calls of ->read_iter()/->write_iter()"
* 'iov_iter' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
fs: add vfs_iter_{read,write} helpers
new helper: iov_iter_bvec()
it has just verified that it asks no more than the length of the
first segment of iovec.
And with that the last user of stuff in lib/iovec.c is gone.
RIP.
