Subject: [PATCH 00/10] iov_iter: Add new iters and use with AFS
Hi Al,
Here's a set of patches that adds two new iov_iter types and then makes AFS
use them to do I/O. The iov_iter changes are:
(1) Separate the type from the direction in the iov_iter struct and
provide accessor functions to wrap type checking.
(2) Renumber the type constants to be contiguous small unsigned integers,
starting from 0 and then use switch-statements rather than if-else
chains using bit-testing.
Note that the compiler can optimise this better by using CMP rather
than AND/TEST, say, as comparing integers requires fewer CMP
instructions or can use jump tables.
(3) Change iov_offset from size_t to loff_t. This allows iov_offset to be
then used as a byte offset with ITER_MAPPING and allows 4GiB and larger
reads and writes to be proposed.
This makes no difference on a 64-bit system, but does make a 32-bit
compilation a bit larger.
(4) Add an ITER_MAPPING iterator type. This provides an iterator that
directly accesses an address_space, and assumes that the target pages
are in some way locked (eg. PG_lock or PG_writeback).
(5) Add an ITER_DISCARD iterator type. This provides an iterator that
simply discards anything written to it. It cannot be used as a data
source.
The afs changes are:
(1) Use a single ITER_MAPPING iterator to cover all the data read by a
single FetchData RPC op. This involves switching the operation to an
ITER_KVEC iterator to read the status record that's transmitted after
the data.
(2) Use an ITER_DISCARD iterator to discard any extra data the server may
have included that we don't want.
(3) Use a single ITER_MAPPING iterator to cover all the data written by a
single StoreData RPC op.
(4) Add synchronous O_DIRECT read support.
This should also be useful for doing direct I/O from cachefiles.
