Pull iov_iter hardening from Al Viro:
"This is the iov_iter/uaccess/hardening pile.
For one thing, it trims the inline part of copy_to_user/copy_from_user
to the minimum that *does* need to be inlined - object size checks,
basically. For another, it sanitizes the checks for iov_iter
primitives. There are 4 groups of checks: access_ok(), might_fault(),
object size and KASAN.
- access_ok() had been verified by whoever had set the iov_iter up.
However, that has happened in a function far away, so proving that
there's no path to actual copying bypassing those checks is hard
and proving that iov_iter has not been buggered in the meanwhile is
also not pleasant. So we want those redone in actual
copyin/copyout.
- might_fault() is better off consolidated - we know whether it needs
to be checked as soon as we enter iov_iter primitive and observe
the iov_iter flavour. No need to wait until the copyin/copyout. The
call chains are short enough to make sure we won't miss anything -
in fact, it's more robust that way, since there are cases where we
do e.g. forced fault-in before getting to copyin/copyout. It's not
quite what we need to check (in particular, combination of
iovec-backed and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) is almost certainly a bug, not a
cause to skip checks), but that's for later series. For now let's
keep might_fault().
- KASAN checks belong in copyin/copyout - at the same level where
other iov_iter flavours would've hit them in memcpy().
- object size checks should apply to *all* iov_iter flavours, not
just iovec-backed ones.
There are two groups of primitives - one gets the kernel object
described as pointer + size (copy_to_iter(), etc.) while another gets
it as page + offset + size (copy_page_to_iter(), etc.)
For the first group the checks are best done where we actually have a
chance to find the object size. In other words, those belong in inline
wrappers in uio.h, before calling into iov_iter.c. Same kind as we
have for inlined part of copy_to_user().
For the second group there is no object to look at - offset in page is
just a number, it bears no type information. So we do them in the
common helper called by iov_iter.c primitives of that kind. All it
currently does is checking that we are not trying to access outside of
the compound page; eventually we might want to add some sanity checks
on the page involved.
So the things we need in copyin/copyout part of iov_iter.c do not
quite match anything in uaccess.h (we want no zeroing, we *do* want
access_ok() and KASAN and we want no might_fault() or object size
checks done on that level). OTOH, these needs are simple enough to
provide a couple of helpers (static in iov_iter.c) doing just what we
need..."

iov_iter/hardening: move object size checks to inlined part

copy_{from,to}_user(): move kasan checks and might_fault() out-of-line
|

* might_fault() is better checked in caller (and e.g. fault-in + kmap_atomic
codepath also needs might_fault() coverage)
* we have already done object size checks
* we have *NOT* done access_ok() recently enough; we rely upon the
iovec array having passed sanity checks back when it had been created
and not nothing having buggered it since. However, that's very much
non-local, so we'd better recheck that.
So the thing we want does not match anything in uaccess - we need
access_ok + kasan checks + raw copy without any zeroing. Just define
such helpers and use them here.

operations
The pmem driver has a need to transfer data with a persistent memory
destination and be able to rely on the fact that the destination writes are not
cached. It is sufficient for the writes to be flushed to a cpu-store-buffer
(non-temporal / "movnt" in x86 terms), as we expect userspace to call fsync()
to ensure data-writes have reached a power-fail-safe zone in the platform. The
fsync() triggers a REQ_FUA or REQ_FLUSH to the pmem driver which will turn
around and fence previous writes with an "sfence".
Implement a __copy_from_user_inatomic_flushcache, memcpy_page_flushcache, and
memcpy_flushcache, that guarantee that the destination buffer is not dirty in
the cpu cache on completion. The new copy_from_iter_flushcache and sub-routines
will be used to replace the "pmem api" (include/linux/pmem.h +
arch/x86/include/asm/pmem.h). The availability of copy_from_iter_flushcache()
and memcpy_flushcache() are gated by the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_UACCESS_FLUSHCACHE
config symbol, and fallback to copy_from_iter_nocache() and plain memcpy()
otherwise.
This is meant to satisfy the concern from Linus that if a driver wants to do
something beyond the normal nocache semantics it should be something private to
that driver [1], and Al's concern that anything uaccess related belongs with
the rest of the uaccess code [2].
The first consumer of this interface is a new 'copy_from_iter' dax operation so
that pmem can inject cache maintenance operations without imposing this
overhead on other dax-capable drivers.

There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc. Let's use the helper
instead. The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator. E.g.
allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation. This sounds too
disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
attempts previously. There is no guarantee something like that happens
though.
This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
they are more conservative.

Wrong sign of iov_iter_revert() argument. Unfortunately, slipped through
the testing, since most of the time we don't do anything to the iterator
afterwards and potential oops on walking the iter->iov too far backwards
is too infrequent to be easily triggered.
Add a sanity check in iov_iter_revert() to catch bugs like this one;
fortunately, the same braino hadn't happened in other callers, but we'd
better have a warning if such thing crops up.

The logics in pipe_advance() used to release all buffers past the new
position failed in cases when the number of buffers to release was equal
to pipe->buffers. If that happened, none of them had been released,
leaving pipe full. Worse, it was trivial to trigger and we end up with
pipe full of uninitialized pages. IOW, it's an infoleak.

Problem similar to ones dealt with in "fold checks into iterate_and_advance()"
and followups, except that in this case we really want to do nothing when
asked for zero-length operation - unlike zero-length iterate_and_advance(),
zero-length iterate_all_kinds() has no side effects, and callers are simpler
that way.
That got exposed when copy_from_iter_full() had been used by tipc, which
builds an msghdr with zero payload and (now) feeds it to a primitive
based on iterate_all_kinds() instead of iterate_and_advance().

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.
- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.
- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.
- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
Christoph.
- A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
stopping and starting in blk-mq.
- Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

Convert some obvious users. *NOTE* - do not blindly assume that
something is a good candidate for those unless you are sure that
not advancing iov_iter in failure case is the right thing in

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array
(typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy
from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the
fast path (i.e. few iovec elements).
The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used
the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between
the too. Let's just add a kernel doc to clarify what the semantics are
for each function.

iov_iter variant for passing data into pipe. copy_to_iter()
copies data into page(s) it has allocated and stuffs them into
the pipe; copy_page_to_iter() stuffs there a reference to the
page given to it. Both will try to coalesce if possible.
iov_iter_zero() is similar to copy_to_iter(); iov_iter_get_pages()
and friends will do as copy_to_iter() would have and return the
pages where the data would've been copied. iov_iter_advance()
will truncate everything past the spot it has advanced to.
New primitive: iov_iter_pipe(), used for initializing those.
pipe should be locked all along.
Running out of space acts as fault would for iovec-backed ones;
in other words, giving it to ->read_iter() may result in short
read if the pipe overflows, or -EFAULT if it happens with nothing
copied there.
In other words, ->read_iter() on those acts pretty much like
->splice_read(). Moreover, all generic_file_splice_read() users,
as well as many other ->splice_read() instances can be switched
to that scheme - that'll happen in the next commit.

copy_page_to_iter_iovec() and copy_page_from_iter_iovec() copy some data
to userspace or from userspace. These functions have a fast path where
they map a page using kmap_atomic and a slow path where they use kmap.
kmap is slower than kmap_atomic, so the fast path is preferred.
However, on kernels without highmem support, kmap just calls
page_address, so there is no need to avoid kmap. On kernels without
highmem support, the fast path just increases code size (and cache
footprint) and it doesn't improve copy performance in any way.
This patch enables the fast path only if CONFIG_HIGHMEM is defined.
Code size reduced by this patch:
x86 (without highmem) 928
x86-64 960
sparc64 848

the only case when we should skip the iterate_and_advance() guts
is when nothing's left in the iterator, _not_ just when requested
amount is 0. Said guts will do nothing in the latter case anyway;
the problem we tried to deal with in the aforementioned commit is
that when there's nothing left *and* the amount requested is 0,
we might end up deferencing one iovec too many; the value we fetch
from there is discarded in that case, but theoretically it might
oops if the iovec array ends exactly at the end of page with the
next page not mapped.
Bailing out on zero size requested had an unexpected side effect -
zero-length segment in the beginning of iovec array ended up
throwing do_loop_readv_writev() into infinite spin; we do not
advance past the empty segment at all. Reproducer is trivial:
echo '#include <sys/uio.h>' >a.c
echo 'main() {char c; struct iovec v[] = {{&c,0},{&c,1}}; readv(0,v,2);}' >>a.c
cc a.c && ./a.out </proc/uptime
which should end up with the process not hanging. Probably ought to

they are open-coded in all users except iov_iter_advance(), and there
they wouldn't be a bad idea either - as it is, iov_iter_advance(i, 0)
ends up dereferencing potentially past the end of iovec array. It
doesn't do anything with the value it reads, and very unlikely to
trigger an oops on dereference, but it is not impossible.

simillar to iov_iter_fault_in_readable() but differs in that it is
not limited to faulting in the first iovec and instead faults in
"bytes" bytes iterating over the iovecs as necessary.
Also, instead of only faulting in the first and last page of the
range, all pages are faulted in.
This function is needed by NTFS when it does multi page file
writes.

iovec-backed iov_iter instances are assumed to satisfy several properties:
* no more than UIO_MAXIOV elements in iovec array
* total size of all ranges is no more than MAX_RW_COUNT
* all ranges pass access_ok().
The problem is, invariants of data structures should be established in the
primitives creating those data structures, not in the code using those
primitives. And iov_iter_init() violates that principle. For a while we
managed to get away with that, but once the use of iov_iter started to
spread, it didn't take long for shit to hit the fan - missed check in
sys_sendto() had introduced a roothole.
We _do_ have primitives for importing and validating iovecs (both native and
compat ones) and those primitives are almost always followed by shoving the
resulting iovec into iov_iter. Life would be considerably simpler (and safer)
if we combined those primitives with initializing iov_iter.
That gives us two new primitives - import_iovec() and compat_import_iovec().
Calling conventions:
iovec = iov_array;
err = import_iovec(direction, uvec, nr_segs,
ARRAY_SIZE(iov_array), &iovec,
&iter);
imports user vector into kernel space (into iov_array if it fits, allocated
if it doesn't fit or if iovec was NULL), validates it and sets iter up to
refer to it. On success 0 is returned and allocated kernel copy (or NULL
if the array had fit into caller-supplied one) is returned via iovec.
On failure all allocations are undone and -E... is returned. If the total
size of ranges exceeds MAX_RW_COUNT, the excess is silently truncated.
compat_import_iovec() expects uvec to be a pointer to user array of compat_iovec;
otherwise it's identical to import_iovec().
Finally, import_single_range() sets iov_iter backed by single-element iovec
covering a user-supplied range -
err = import_single_range(direction, address, size, iovec, &iter);
does validation and sets iter up. Again, size in excess of MAX_RW_COUNT gets
silently truncated.
Next commits will be switching the things up to use of those and reducing
the amount of iov_iter_init() instances.
