From 8fb0f47a9d7acf620d0fd97831b69da9bc5e22ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 11:18:36 -0600 Subject: iov_iter: add helper to save iov_iter state 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.
