[PATCH v2 0/2] libceph: add new iov_iter msg_data type and use it for reads

[Jeff Layton]

v2:
- make _next handler advance the iterator in preparation for coming
  changes to iov_iter_get_pages

This is an update to the patchset I sent back on June 9th. Since then,
Al informed me that he intends to change iov_iter_get_pages to advance
the iterator automatically. That changes the implementation a bit, in
that we now need to track how far the iov_iter leads the cursor at any
given time.

I've tested this with xfstests and it seems to behave. Cover letter
from the original posting follows.

------------------------8<-------------------------

This patchset was inspired by some earlier work that David Howells did
to add a similar type.

Currently, we take an iov_iter from the netfs layer, turn that into an
array of pages, and then pass that to the messenger which eventually
turns that back into an iov_iter before handing it back to the socket.

This patchset adds a new ceph_msg_data_type that uses an iov_iter
directly instead of requiring an array of pages or bvecs. This allows
us to avoid an extra allocation in the buffered read path, and should
make it easier to plumb in write helpers later.

For now, this is still just a slow, stupid implementation that hands
the socket layer a page at a time like the existing messenger does. It
doesn't yet attempt to pass through the iov_iter directly.

I have some patches that pass the cursor's iov_iter directly to the
socket in the receive path, but it requires some infrastructure that's
not in mainline yet (iov_iter_scan(), for instance). It should be
possible to something similar in the send path as well.

[PATCH v2 1/2] libceph: add new iov_iter-based ceph_msg_data_type and ceph_osd_data_type

[Jeff Layton]

Add an iov_iter to the unions in ceph_msg_data and ceph_msg_data_cursor.
Instead of requiring a list of pages or bvecs, we can just use an
iov_iter directly, and avoid extra allocations.

We assume that the pages represented by the iter are pinned such that
they shouldn't incur page faults, which is the case for the iov_iters
created by netfs.

While working on this, Al Viro informed me that he was going to change
iov_iter_get_pages to auto-advance the iterator as that pattern is more
or less required for ITER_PIPE anyway. We emulate that here for now by
advancing in the _next op and tracking that amount in the "lastlen"
field.

In the event that _next is called twice without an intervening
_advance, we revert the iov_iter by the remaining lastlen before
calling iov_iter_get_pages.

Will this be used outside the libceph.ko ? It seem will never ? And also 
some other existing ones like 'ceph_msg_data_add_bvecs'.

No, I don't think it will. We can probably remove that.

[PATCH v2 2/2] ceph: use osd_req_op_extent_osd_iter for netfs reads

[Jeff Layton]

The netfs layer has already pinned the pages involved before calling
issue_op, so we can just pass down the iter directly instead of calling
iov_iter_get_pages_alloc.

Instead of having to allocate a page array, use CEPH_MSG_DATA_ITER and
pass it the iov_iter directly to clone.
