[RFC PATCH v2 3/3] block: Use iov_iter_extract_pages() and page pinning in direct-io.c

David Howells
2023-05-25T22:41:44Z

Change the old block-based direct-I/O code to use iov_iter_extract_pages()
to pin user pages or leave kernel pages unpinned rather than taking refs
when submitting bios.

This makes use of the preceding patches to not take pins on the zero page
(thereby allowing insertion of zero pages in with pinned pages) and to get
additional pins on pages, allowing an extracted page to be used in multiple
bios without having to re-extract it.

Notes:
ver #2)
- Need to set BIO_PAGE_PINNED conditionally, not BIO_PAGE_REFFED.
