Subject: [PATCH v9 08/12] NFSD: Simplify nfsd_iov_iter_aligned_bvec()
Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2025 11:53:47 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103165351.10261-9-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251103165351.10261-1-cel@kernel.org>
From: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Pages in the RPC receive buffer are contiguous. Practically
speaking, this means that, after the first bvec, the bv_offset
field is always zero.
The loop in nfsd_iov_iter_aligned_bvec() also sets "skip" to zero
after the first bvec is checked. Thus, for bvecs following the first
one, bv_offset = 0 and skip = 0, and the check becomes:
(0 + 0) & addr_mask = 0
This always passes regardless of the alignment mask.
Since all bvecs after the first one start at bv_offset zero (page-
aligned), they are inherently aligned for DIO. Therefore, only the
first bvec needs to be checked for DIO alignment.
Note that for RDMA transports, the incoming payload always starts on
page alignment, since svcrdma sets up the RDMA Read sink buffers
that way. For RDMA, this loop visits every bvec in each payload, and
never finds an unaligned bvec.
