<id>6dc4f100c175dd0511ae8674786e7c9006cdfbfa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces one extra iterator variable to bio_for_each_segment_all(),
then we can allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec.

Given it is just one mechannical &amp; simple change on all bio_for_each_segment_all()
users, this patch does tree-wide change in one single patch, so that we can
avoid to use a temporary helper for this conversion.

<title>direct-io: allow direct writes to empty inodes</title>

<content type='text'>
On a DIO_SKIP_HOLES filesystem, the -&gt;get_block() method is currently
not allowed to create blocks for an empty inode.  This confusion comes
from trying to bit shift a negative number, so check the size of the
inode first.

The problem is most visible for hfsplus, because the fallback to
buffered I/O doesn't happen and the write fails with EIO.  This is in
part the fault of the module, because it gives a wrong return value on
-&gt;get_block(); that will be fixed in a separate patch.

commit e259221763a40403d5bb232209998e8c45804ab8 ("fs: simplify the
generic_write_sync prototype") reworked callers of generic_write_sync(),
and ended up dropping the error return for the directio path. Prior to
that commit, in dio_complete(), an error would be bubbled up the stack,
but after that commit, errors passed on to dio_complete were eaten up.

This was reported on the list earlier, and a fix was proposed in
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160921141539.GA17898@infradead.org/, but
never followed up with.  We recently hit this bug in our testing where
fencing io errors, which were previously erroring out with EIO, were
being returned as success operations after this commit.

The fix proposed on the list earlier was a little short -- it would have
still called generic_write_sync() in case `ret` already contained an
error. This fix ensures generic_write_sync() is only called when there's
no pending error in the write. Additionally, transferred is replaced
with ret to bring this code in line with other callers.

<title>block: make blk_poll() take a parameter on whether to spin or not</title>

<content type='text'>
blk_poll() has always kept spinning until it found an IO. This is
fine for SYNC polling, since we need to find one request we have
pending, but in preparation for ASYNC polling it can be beneficial
to just check if we have any entries available or not.

Existing callers are converted to pass in 'spin == true', to retain
the old behavior.

We use IOCB_HIPRI to poll for IO in the caller instead of scheduling.
This information is not available for (or after) IO submission. The
driver may make different queue choices based on the type of IO, so
make the fact that we will poll for this IO known to the lower layers
as well.

Use accessor functions to access an iterator's type and direction.  This
allows for the possibility of using some other method of determining the
type of iterator than if-chains with bitwise-AND conditions.
