fix short copy handling in copy_mc_pipe_to_iter()

Unlike other copying operations on ITER_PIPE, copy_mc_to_iter() can
result in a short copy. In that case we need to trim the unused
buffers, as well as the length of partially filled one - it's not
enough to set ->head, ->iov_offset and ->count to reflect how
much had we copied. Not hard to fix, fortunately...

I'd put a helper (pipe_discard_from(pipe, head)) into pipe_fs_i.h,
rather than iov_iter.c - it has nothing to do with iov_iter and
having it will allow us to avoid an ugly kludge in fs/splice.c.
We could put it into lib/iov_iter.c for now and move it later,
but I don't see the point going that way...

iov_iter: fix build issue due to possible type mis-match

Commit 6c77676645ad ("iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()")
introduced a problem on some 32-bit architectures (at least arm, xtensa,
csky,sparc and mips), that have a 'size_t' that is 'unsigned int'.

The reason is that we now do

min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);

where 'nr' and 'offset' and both 'unsigned int', and PAGE_SIZE is
'unsigned long'. As a result, the normal C type rules means that the
first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
| ^~
lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
| ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
identical.

So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]

iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()

The maths at the end of iter_xarray_get_pages() to calculate the actual
size doesn't work under some circumstances, such as when it's been asked to
extract a partial single page. Various terms of the equation cancel out
and you end up with actual == offset. The same issue exists in
iter_xarray_get_pages_alloc().

Fix these to just use min() to select the lesser amount from between the
amount of page content transcribed into the buffer, minus the offset, and
the size limit specified.

This doesn't appear to have caused a problem yet upstream because network
filesystems aren't getting the pages from an xarray iterator, but rather
passing it directly to the socket, which just iterates over it. Cachefiles
*does* do DIO from one to/from ext4/xfs/btrfs/etc. but it always asks for
whole pages to be written or read.

first argument to 'min()' ends up being 'unsigned long'.

In contrast, 'maxsize' is of type 'size_t'.

Now, 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' are always the same physical type in
the kernel, so you'd think this doesn't matter, and from an actual
arithmetic standpoint it doesn't.

But on 32-bit architectures 'size_t' is commonly 'unsigned int', even if
it could also be 'unsigned long'. In that situation, both are unsigned
32-bit types, but they are not the *same* type.

And as a result 'min()' will complain about the distinct types (ignore
the "pointer types" part of the error message: that's an artifact of the
way we have made 'min()' check types for being the same):

lib/iov_iter.c: In function 'iter_xarray_get_pages':
include/linux/minmax.h:20:35: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
20 | (!!(sizeof((typeof(x) *)1 == (typeof(y) *)1)))
| ^~
lib/iov_iter.c:1464:16: note: in expansion of macro 'min'
1464 | return min(nr * PAGE_SIZE - offset, maxsize);
| ^~~

This was not visible on 64-bit architectures (where we always define
'size_t' to be 'unsigned long').

Force these cases to use 'min_t(size_t, x, y)' to make the type explicit
and avoid the issue.

[ Nit-picky note: technically 'size_t' doesn't have to match 'unsigned
long' arithmetically. We've certainly historically seen environments
with 16-bit address spaces and 32-bit 'unsigned long'.

Similarly, even in 64-bit modern environments, 'size_t' could be its
own type distinct from 'unsigned long', even if it were arithmetically
identical.

So the above type commentary is only really descriptive of the kernel
environment, not some kind of universal truth for the kinds of wild
and crazy situations that are allowed by the C standard ]

iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()

iov_iter: Fix iter_xarray_get_pages{,_alloc}()

[ Upstream commit 6c77676645ad42993e0a8bdb8dafa517851a352a ]

The maths at the end of iter_xarray_get_pages() to calculate the actual
size doesn't work under some circumstances, such as when it's been asked to
extract a partial single page. Various terms of the equation cancel out
and you end up with actual == offset. The same issue exists in
iter_xarray_get_pages_alloc().

Fix these to just use min() to select the lesser amount from between the
amount of page content transcribed into the buffer, minus the offset, and
the size limit specified.

This doesn't appear to have caused a problem yet upstream because network
filesystems aren't getting the pages from an xarray iterator, but rather
passing it directly to the socket, which just iterates over it. Cachefiles
*does* do DIO from one to/from ext4/xfs/btrfs/etc. but it always asks for
whole pages to be written or read.

iov_iter: Introduce nofault flag to disable page faults

commit 3337ab08d08b1a375f88471d9c8b1cac968cb054 upstream

Introduce a new nofault flag to indicate to iov_iter_get_pages not to
fault in user pages.

This is implemented by passing the FOLL_NOFAULT flag to get_user_pages,
which causes get_user_pages to fail when it would otherwise fault in a
page. We'll use the ->nofault flag to prevent iomap_dio_rw from faulting
in pages when page faults are not allowed.

iov_iter: Introduce fault_in_iov_iter_writeable

commit cdd591fc86e38ad3899196066219fbbd845f3162 upstream

Introduce a new fault_in_iov_iter_writeable helper for safely faulting
in an iterator for writing. Uses get_user_pages() to fault in the pages
without actually writing to them, which would be destructive.

We'll use fault_in_iov_iter_writeable in gfs2 once we've determined that
the iterator passed to .read_iter isn't in memory.

commit a6294593e8a1290091d0b078d5d33da5e0cd3dfe upstream

Turn iov_iter_fault_in_readable into a function that returns the number
of bytes not faulted in, similar to copy_to_user, instead of returning a
non-zero value when any of the requested pages couldn't be faulted in.
This supports the existing users that require all pages to be faulted in
as well as new users that are happy if any pages can be faulted in.

Rename iov_iter_fault_in_readable to fault_in_iov_iter_readable to make
sure this change doesn't silently break things.
