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
go into LTP or xfstests...

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

Also, instead of only faulting in the first and last page of the
range, all pages are faulted in.

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.

iterate_all_kinds(iter, size, ident, step_iovec, step_bvec)

repeating step_iovec or step_bvec for each of those.  ident is
declared in expansion of that thing, either as struct iovec or
struct bvec, and it contains the range we are currently looking
at.  step_bvec should be a void expression, step_iovec - a size_t
one, with non-zero meaning "stop here, that many bytes from this
range left".  In the end, the amount actually handled is stored
in size.

The branches of the if (i->type & ITER_BVEC) statement in
iov_iter_single_seg_count() are the wrong way around; if ITER_BVEC is
clear then we use i->bvec, when we should be using i->iov.  This fixes
it.

In my case, the symptom that this caused was that a KVM guest doing
filesystem operations on a virtual disk would result in one of qemu's
threads on the host going into an infinite loop in
generic_perform_write().  The loop would hit the copied == 0 case and
call iov_iter_single_seg_count() to reduce the number of bytes to try
to process, but because of the error, iov_iter_single_seg_count()
would just return i->count and the loop made no progress and continued
forever.

For DAX, we want to be able to copy between iovecs and kernel addresses
that don't necessarily have a struct page.  This is a fairly simple
rearrangement for bvec iters to kmap the pages outside and pass them in,
but for user iovecs it gets more complicated because we might try various
different ways to kmap the memory.  Duplicating the existing logic works
out best in this case.

We need to be able to write zeroes to an iovec for reads from unwritten
ranges in a file.  This is performed by the new iov_iter_zero() function,
again patterned after the existing code that handles iovec iterators.

The third argument of fuse_get_user_pages() "nbytesp" refers to the number of
bytes a caller asked to pack into fuse request. This value may be lesser
than capacity of fuse request or iov_iter.  So fuse_get_user_pages() must
ensure that *nbytesp won't grow.

Now, when helper iov_iter_get_pages() performs all hard work of extracting
pages from iov_iter, it can be done by passing properly calculated
"maxsize" to the helper.

The other caller of iov_iter_get_pages() (dio_refill_pages()) doesn't need
this capability, so pass LONG_MAX as the maxsize argument here.
