This code doesn't serve any purpose anymore, since the aio retry
infrastructure has been removed.

This change should be safe because aio_read/write are also used for
synchronous IO, and called from do_sync_read()/do_sync_write() - and
there's no looping done in the sync case (the read and write syscalls).

For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
simliar things at ceph_llseek().

To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
underlying file systems.

Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.

This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
is using it.

We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
mm of the submitting task.  All other task_struct references in the IO
submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
retry-based AIO.

This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
around the unused run list in the submission path.

This function is used by sparc, powerpc and arm64 for compat support.
The patch adds a generic implementation which calls do_sendfile()
directly and avoids set_fs().

The sparc architecture has wrappers for the sign extensions while
powerpc relies on the compiler to do the this. The patch adds wrappers
for powerpc to handle the u32->int type conversion.

compat_sys_sendfile64() can be replaced by a sys_sendfile() call since
compat_loff_t has the same size as off_t on a 64-bit system.

On powerpc, the patch also changes the 64-bit sendfile call from
sys_sendile64 to sys_sendfile.

For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with
SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality
we want the maximum possible hash value.  Recent changes
in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c,
but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially
since the copy has already diverged from the vfs.

This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept
both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position.  With this
in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash
position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants.

As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel
doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does.  But
some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't
really argue.

Rather than having an additional check_access parameter to these

specify CHECK_IOVEC_ONLY which means check that the contents of the iovec

by process_vm_readv/writev where we need to validate that a iovec passed

The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.

The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call.  There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.

- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
  using it:
  - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
    preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
  written to would need to be contiguous.
  - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
  ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
  from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
  but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
  (reason  appears to have been lost)
  - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
  domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
  especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
  of processes  that all need to do this with each other
  - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
  consider adding in the future (see below)
  - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
  involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)

As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems.  Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block.  Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive.  In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock.  And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.

There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could.  For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy.  We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source.  I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.

Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI).  This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication.  And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.

There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2

There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:

http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt

This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.

For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts.  Independent processes
accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
they have no need for synchronization at all.

Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
systems.

This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:

First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
The patch does not change that.

Let's look at the different seek variants:

SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.

For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
against write() now.  The read() race was deemed
acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
ok for read it's ok for write too.

=> Don't need a lock.

SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
can just use that instead.

Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
like another racy SEEK_SET.  On non atomic 32bit it's the same
as SEEK_SET.

=> Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()

SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
on the same file. One could argue that any application
doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
synchronize between processes.

=> So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.

This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags.  Turns out
using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try
and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck.  We need to match solaris
here, and the definitions are

*o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the
next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset
is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near
the end of the DESCRIPTION.

*o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the
start of the next non-hole file region greater than or
equal to the supplied offset.

So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at
the end.  That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return
the same offset for SEEK_DATA.  This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it
the same way.
