Subject: [PATCH v2 4/7] nfs: migrate direct I/O to iov_iter_extract_pages
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2026 13:39:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260616134000.2733403-5-praan@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260616134000.2733403-1-praan@google.com>
Migrate the NFS Direct I/O path away from the legacy
iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2() API to the modern iov_iter_extract_pages API.
The transition aligns NFS with the modern VFS extraction model and serves
as a preparatory step for supporting requirements such as page pinning
via GUP for DMA.
The migration fixes a bug in the Direct I/O loop where pages were being
unpinned immediately after request creation. With the new extraction
model, pins are held until the I/O is complete. Manual release in the
loop is correspondingly updated to only clean up failed pages.
