[PATCH v12 01/10] vfs, iomap: Fix generic_file_splice_read() to avoid reversion of ITER_PIPE

With the new iov_iter_extract_pages() function (added in a later patch),
pages extracted from a non-user-backed iterator, such as ITER_PIPE, aren't
pinned. __iomap_dio_rw(), however, calls iov_iter_revert() to shorten the
iterator to just the data it is going to use - which causes the pipe
buffers to be freed, even though they're attached to a bio and may get
written to by DMA (thanks to Hillf Danton for spotting this[1]).

This then causes massive memory corruption that is particularly noticable
when the syzbot test[2] is run. The test boils down to:

out = creat(argv[1], 0666);
ftruncate(out, 0x800);
lseek(out, 0x200, SEEK_SET);
in = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY | O_DIRECT | O_NOFOLLOW);
sendfile(out, in, NULL, 0x1dd00);

run repeatedly in parallel. What I think is happening is that ftruncate()
occasionally shortens the DIO read that's about to be made by sendfile's
splice core by reducing i_size.

Fix this by replacing the use of an ITER_PIPE iterator with an ITER_BVEC
iterator for which reversion won't free the buffers. Bulk allocate all the
buffers we think we're going to use in advance, do the read synchronously
and only then trim the buffer down. The pages we did use get pushed into
the pipe.

This is more efficient by virtue of doing a bulk page allocation, but
slightly less efficient by ignoring any partial page in the pipe.

Note that this removes the only user of ITER_PIPE.
