Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe: "This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate, iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes memory corruption. Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle it in filesystem-specific code. Summary: - Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read() - Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed in copy_splice_read() - Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the lower fs - Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle direct-I/O and DAX - Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it - Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio() - Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio() - Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't splice pages - Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3, ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation - Make cifs use filemap_splice_read() - Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller; filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read() op - Remove generic_file_splice_read() - Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read was the only user" * tag 'for-6.5/splice-2023-06-23' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: (31 commits) splice: kdoc for filemap_splice_read() and copy_splice_read() iov_iter: Kill ITER_PIPE splice: Remove generic_file_splice_read() splice: Use filemap_splice_read() instead of generic_file_splice_read() cifs: Use filemap_splice_read() trace: Convert trace/seq to use copy_splice_read() zonefs: Provide a splice-read wrapper xfs: Provide a splice-read wrapper orangefs: Provide a splice-read wrapper ocfs2: Provide a splice-read wrapper ntfs3: Provide a splice-read wrapper nfs: Provide a splice-read wrapper f2fs: Provide a splice-read wrapper ext4: Provide a splice-read wrapper ecryptfs: Provide a splice-read wrapper ceph: Provide a splice-read wrapper afs: Provide a splice-read wrapper 9p: Add splice_read wrapper net: Make sock_splice_read() use copy_splice_read() by default tty, proc, kernfs, random: Use copy_splice_read() ...
