Subject: [PATCH 1/3] iov_iter: add helper to save iov_iter state
Date: Wed, 15 Sep 2021 10:29:35 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <[email protected]>

In an ideal world, when someone is passed an iov_iter and returns X bytes,
then X bytes would have been consumed/advanced from the iov_iter. But we
have use cases that always consume the entire iterator, a few examples
of that are iomap and bdev O_DIRECT. This means we cannot rely on the
state of the iov_iter once we've called ->read_iter() or ->write_iter().

This would be easier if we didn't always have to deal with truncate of
the iov_iter, as rewinding would be trivial without that. We recently
added a commit to track the truncate state, but that grew the iov_iter
by 8 bytes and wasn't the best solution.

Implement a helper to save enough of the iov_iter state to sanely restore
it after we've called the read/write iterator helpers. This currently
only works for IOVEC/BVEC/KVEC as that's all we need, support for other
iterator types are left as an exercise for the reader.
