Merge tag 'for-6.5/splice-2023-06-23' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux

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"

README

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.
