06ae43f34b Don't bother with redoing rw_verify_area() from default_file_splice_from()
default_file_splice_from() ends up calling vfs_write() (via very convoluted
callchain).  It's an overkill, since we already have done rw_verify_area()
in the caller by the time we call vfs_write() we are under set_fs(KERNEL_DS),
so access_ok() is also pointless.  Add a new helper (__kernel_write()),
use it instead of kernel_write() in there.

ae62ca7b03 tcp: fix MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST logic
commit 35f9c09fe9 (tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once)
added an internal flag : MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST meant to be set on all
frags but the last one for a splice() call.

The condition used to set the flag in pipe_to_sendpage() relied on
splice() user passing the exact number of bytes present in the pipe,
or a smaller one.

But some programs pass an arbitrary high value, and the test fails.

The effect of this bug is a lack of tcp_push() at the end of a
splice(pipe -> socket) call, and possibly very slow or erratic TCP
sessions.

We should both test sd->total_len and fact that another fragment
is in the pipe (pipe->nrbufs > 1)

Many thanks to Willy for providing very clear bug report, bisection
and test programs.

14da920014 fs: Protect write paths by sb_start_write - sb_end_write
There are several entry points which dirty pages in a filesystem.  mmap
(handled by block_page_mkwrite()), buffered write (handled by
__generic_file_aio_write()), splice write (generic_file_splice_write),
truncate, and fallocate (these can dirty last partial page - handled inside
each filesystem separately). Protect these places with sb_start_write() and
sb_end_write().

->page_mkwrite() calls are particularly complex since they are called with
mmap_sem held and thus we cannot use standard sb_start_write() due to lock
ordering constraints. We solve the problem by using a special freeze protection
sb_start_pagefault() which ranks below mmap_sem.

047fe36052 splice: fix racy pipe->buffers uses
Dave Jones reported a kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:3474! triggered
by splice_shrink_spd() called from vmsplice_to_pipe()

commit 35f3d14dbb (pipe: add support for shrinking and growing pipes)
added capability to adjust pipe->buffers.

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers
doesn't change for their duration.

Fix this by adding nr_pages_max field in struct splice_pipe_desc, and
use it in place of pipe->buffers where appropriate.

splice_shrink_spd() loses its struct pipe_inode_info argument.

c3b2da3148 fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time
Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify
the inode, so updating time can fail.  We've gotten around this by having our
own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he
would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates.  So introduce
->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and
indicate which changes need to be made.  The normal version just does what it
has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then
filesystems can choose to do something different.

I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for
errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't
quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time
updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and
make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the
generic fault path. Thanks,

bd1a68b59c vmsplice: relax alignement requirements for SPLICE_F_GIFT
It seems there is no fundamental reason to limit vmsplice()
SPLICE_F_GIFT to page aligned chunks.

All helpers are prepared to cope with offsets in page.

This limitation makes vmsplice() API very impractical in the zero-copy

35f9c09fe9 tcp: tcp_sendpages() should call tcp_push() once
commit 2f53384424 (tcp: allow splice() to build full TSO packets) added
a regression for splice() calls using SPLICE_F_MORE.

We need to call tcp_flush() at the end of the last page processed in
tcp_sendpages(), or else transmits can be deferred and future sends
stall.

Add a new internal flag, MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST, acting like MSG_MORE, but
with different semantic.

For all sendpage() providers, its a transparent change. Only
sock_sendpage() and tcp_sendpages() can differentiate the two different
flags provided by pipe_to_sendpage()

a8adbe378b fs/splice: Pull buf->ops->confirm() from splice_from_pipe actors
This patch pulls calls to buf->ops->confirm() from all actors passed
(also indirectly) to splice_from_pipe_feed().

Is avoiding the call to buf->ops->confirm() while splice()ing to
/dev/null is an intentional optimization? No other user does that
and this will remove this special case.

Against current linux.git 6313e3c217.

c66fb34794 Export 'get_pipe_info()' to other users
And in particular, use it in 'pipe_fcntl()'.

The other pipe functions do not need to use the 'careful' version, since
they are only ever called for things that are already known to be pipes.

The normal read/write/ioctl functions are called through the file
operations structures, so if a file isn't a pipe, they'd never get
called.  But pipe_fcntl() is special, and called directly from the
generic fcntl code, and needs to use the same careful function that the
splice code is using.

that's what all users want anyway.

The renaming is preparatory to exporting it to other users.  The old
'pipe_info()' name was too generic and is already used elsewhere, so
before making the function public we need to use a more specific name.

6965031d33 splice: fix misuse of SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK
SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is clearly documented to only affect blocking on the
pipe.  In __generic_file_splice_read(), however, it causes an EAGAIN
if the page is currently being read.

This makes it impossible to write an application that only wants
failure if the pipe is full.  For example if the same process is
handling both ends of a pipe and isn't otherwise able to determine
whether a splice to the pipe will fill it or not.

We could make the read non-blocking on O_NONBLOCK or some other splice
flag, but for now this is the simplest fix.

0ae0b5d055 fs/splice.c: fix mapping_gfp_mask usage
mapping_gfp_mask() is not supposed to store allocation contex details,
only page location details.  So mapping_gfp_mask should be applied to the
pagecache page allocation, wheras normal (kernel mapped) memory should be
used for surrounding allocations such as radix-tree nodes allocated by
add_to_page_cache.  Context modifiers should be applied on a per-callsite
basis.

So change splice to follow this convention (which is followed in similar
code patterns in core code).

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

cc56f7de7f sendfile(): check f_op.splice_write() rather than f_op.sendpage()
sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still
checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly.  Although
if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same
time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently.  This
patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output
file.  Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

148f948ba8 vfs: Introduce new helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode
Introduce new function for generic inode syncing (vfs_fsync_range) and use
it from fsync() path. Introduce also new helper for syncing after a sync
write (generic_write_sync) using the generic function.

Use these new helpers for syncing from generic VFS functions. This makes
O_SYNC writes to block devices acquire i_mutex for syncing. If we really
care about this, we can make block_fsync() drop the i_mutex and reacquire
it before it returns.

723590ed52 splice: update mtime and atime on files
Splice should update the modification and access times on regular
files just like read and write. Not updating mtime will confuse
backup tools, etc...

This patch only adds the time updates for regular files.  For pipes
and other special files that splice touches the need for updating the
times is less clear.  Let's discuss and fix that separately.

b2858d7d16 splice: fix kmaps in default_file_splice_write()
Unfortunately multiple kmap() within a single thread are deadlockable,
so writing out multiple buffers with writev() isn't possible.

Change the implementation so that it does a separate write() for each
buffer.  This actually simplifies the code a lot since the
splice_from_pipe() helper can be used.

This limitation is caused by HIGHMEM pages, and so only affects a
subset of architectures and configurations.  In the future it may be
worth to implement default_file_splice_write() in a more efficient way
on configs that allow it.
