This patch introduces helpers of 'mp_bvec_iter_*' for multi-page bvec support. The introduced helpers treate one bvec as real multi-page segment, which may include more than one pages. The existed helpers of bvec_iter_* are interfaces for supporting current bvec iterator which is thought as single-page by drivers, fs, dm and etc. These introduced helpers will build single-page bvec in flight, so this way won't break current bio/bvec users, which needn't any change. Follows some multi-page bvec background: - bvecs stored in bio->bi_io_vec is always multi-page style - bvec(struct bio_vec) represents one physically contiguous I/O buffer, now the buffer may include more than one page after multi-page bvec is supported, and all these pages represented by one bvec is physically contiguous. Before multi-page bvec support, at most one page is included in one bvec, we call it single-page bvec. - .bv_page of the bvec points to the 1st page in the multi-page bvec - .bv_offset of the bvec is the offset of the buffer in the bvec The effect on the current drivers/filesystem/dm/bcache/...: - almost everyone supposes that one bvec only includes one single page, so we keep the sp interface not changed, for example, bio_for_each_segment() still returns single-page bvec - bio_for_each_segment_all() will return single-page bvec too - during iterating, iterator variable(struct bvec_iter) is always updated in multi-page bvec style, and bvec_iter_advance() is kept not changed - returned(copied) single-page bvec is built in flight by bvec helpers from the stored multi-page bvec Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
