Hi Al, Christoph,

Here are patches clean up some use of READ/WRITE and ITER_SOURCE/DEST,
patches to provide support for extracting pages from an iov_iter and a
patch to use the primary extraction function in the block layer bio code.
I've also added a bunch of other conversions and had a tentative stab at
the networking code.

The patches make the following changes:

 (1) Deal with switching from using the iterator data_source to indicate
     the I/O direction to deriving this from other information, eg.:
     IOCB_WRITE, IOMAP_WRITE and the REQ_OP_* number.  This allows
     iov_iter_rw() to be removed eventually.

 (2) Define FOLL_SOURCE_BUF and FOLL_DEST_BUF and pass these into
     iov_iter_get_pages*() to indicate the I/O direction with regards to
     how the buffer described by the iterator is to be used.  This is
     included in the gup_flags passed in with Logan's patches.

     Calls to iov_iter_get_pages*2() are replaced with calls to
     iov_iter_get_pages*() and the former is removed.

 (3) Add a function, iov_iter_extract_pages() to replace
     iov_iter_get_pages*() that gets refs, pins or just lists the pages as
     appropriate to the iterator type and the I/O direction.

     Add a function, iov_iter_extract_mode() that will indicate from the
     iterator type and the I/O direction how the cleanup is to be
     performed, returning FOLL_GET, FOLL_PIN or 0.

     Add a function, folio_put_unpin(), and a wrapper, page_put_unpin(),
     that take a page and the return from iov_iter_extract_mode() and do
     the right thing to clean up the page.

 (4) Make the bio struct carry a pair of flags to indicate the cleanup
     mode.  BIO_NO_PAGE_REF is replaced with BIO_PAGE_REFFED (equivalent to
     FOLL_GET) and BIO_PAGE_PINNED (equivalent to BIO_PAGE_PINNED) is
     added.  These are forced to have the same value as the FOLL_* flags so
     they can be passed to the previously mentioned cleanup function.

 (5) Make the iter-to-bio code use iov_iter_extract_pages() to
     appropriately retain the pages and clean them up later.

 (6) Fix bio_flagged() so that it doesn't prevent a gcc optimisation.

 (7) Add a function in netfslib, netfs_extract_user_iter(), to extract a
     UBUF- or IOVEC-type iterator to a page list in a BVEC-type iterator,
     with all the pages suitably ref'd or pinned.

 (8) Add a function in netfslib, netfs_extract_iter_to_sg(), to extract a
     UBUF-, IOVEC-, BVEC-, XARRAY- or KVEC-type iterator to a scatterlist.
     The first two types appropriately ref or pin pages; the latter three
     don't perform any retention, leaving that to the caller.

     Note that I can make use of this in the SCSI and AF_ALG code and
     possibly the networking code, so this might merit being moved to core
     code.

 (9) Make AF_ALG use iov_iter_extract_pages() and possibly go further and
     make it use netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() instead.

(10) Make SCSI vhost use netfs_extract_iter_to_sg().

(11) Make fs/direct-io.c use iov_iter_extract_pages().

(13) Make splice-to-pipe use iov_iter_extract_pages(), but limit the usage
     to a cleanup mode of FOLL_GET.

(13) Make the 9P, FUSE and NFS filesystems use iov_iter_extract_pages().

(14) Make the CIFS filesystem use iterators from the top all the way down
     to the socket on the simple path.  Make it use
     netfs_extract_user_iter() to use an XARRAY-type iterator or to build a
     BVEC-type iterator in the top layers from a UBUF- or IOVEC-type
     iterator and attach the iterator to the operation descriptors.

     netfs_extract_iter_to_sg() is used to build scatterlists for doing
     transport crypto and a function, smb_extract_iter_to_rdma(), is
     provided to build an RDMA SGE list directly from an iterator without
     going via a page list and then a scatter list.

(15) A couple of work-in-progress patches to try and make sk_buff fragments
     record the information needed to clean them up in the lowest two bits
     of the page pointer in the fragment struct.

This leaves:

 (*) Four calls to iov_iter_get_pages() in CEPH.  That will be helped by
     patches to pass an iterator down to the transport layer instead of
     converting to a page list high up and passing that down, but the
     transport layer could do with some massaging so that it doesn't covert
     the iterator to a page list and then the pages individually back to
     iterators to pass to the socket.

 (*) One call to iov_iter_get_pages() each in the networking core, RDS and
     TLS, all related to zero-copy.  TLS seems to do zerocopy-read (or
     maybe decrypt-offload) and should be doing FOLL_PIN, not FOLL_GET for
     user-provided buffers.


Changes:
========
ver #6)
 - Fix write() syscall and co. not setting IOCB_WRITE.
 - Added iocb_is_read() and iocb_is_write() to check IOCB_WRITE.
 - Use op_is_write() in bio_copy_user_iov().
 - Drop the iterator direction checks from smbd_recv().
 - Define FOLL_SOURCE_BUF and FOLL_DEST_BUF and pass them in as part of
   gup_flags to iov_iter_get/extract_pages*().
 - Replace iov_iter_get_pages*2() with iov_iter_get_pages*() and remove.
 - Add back the function to indicate the cleanup mode.
 - Drop the cleanup_mode return arg to iov_iter_extract_pages().
 - Provide a helper to clean up a page.
 - Renumbered FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN and made BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED have
   the same numerical values, enforced with an assertion.
 - Converted AF_ALG, SCSI vhost, generic DIO, FUSE, splice to pipe, 9P and
   NFS.
 - Added in the patches to make CIFS do top-to-bottom iterators and use
   various of the added extraction functions.
 - Added a pair of work-in-progess patches to make sk_buff fragments store
   FOLL_GET and FOLL_PIN.

ver #5)
 - Replace BIO_NO_PAGE_REF with BIO_PAGE_REFFED and split into own patch.
 - Transcribe FOLL_GET/PIN into BIO_PAGE_REFFED/PINNED flags.
 - Add patch to allow bio_flagged() to be combined by gcc.

ver #4)
 - Drop the patch to move the FOLL_* flags to linux/mm_types.h as they're
   no longer referenced by linux/uio.h.
 - Add ITER_SOURCE/DEST cleanup patches.
 - Make iov_iter/netfslib iter extraction patches use ITER_SOURCE/DEST.
 - Allow additional gup_flags to be passed into iov_iter_extract_pages().
 - Add struct bio patch.

ver #3)
 - Switch to using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to prevent indirect 3rd-party access
   to get/pin_user_pages_fast()[1].

ver #2)
 - Rolled the extraction cleanup mode query function into the extraction
   function, returning the indication through the argument list.
 - Fixed patch 4 (extract to scatterlist) to actually use the new
   extraction API.

I've pushed the patches (excluding the two WIP networking patches) here
