move aio compat to fs/aio.c

2016-12-23T03:58:37+00:00

... and fix the minor buglet in compat io_submit() - native one
kills ioctx as cleanup when put_user() fails.  Get rid of
bogus compat_... in !CONFIG_AIO case, while we are at it - they
should simply fail with ENOSYS, same as for native counterparts.

fs: move struct kiocb to fs.h

2015-03-26T00:28:11+00:00

struct kiocb now is a generic I/O container, so move it to fs.h.
Also do a #include diet for aio.h while we're at it.

fs: split generic and aio kiocb

2015-03-13T16:10:27+00:00

Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but
still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb.  Split out
the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and
only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack.  The
aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can
easily get back to it by using container_of.

Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call
into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems
impementing asynchronous operations.  It will also allow other callers
to substitute their own completion callback.

We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering
violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add
eventfd notification about ffs events").

fs: don't allow to complete sync iocbs through aio_complete

2015-03-13T16:10:22+00:00

The AIO interface is fairly complex because it tries to allow
filesystems to always work async and then wakeup a synchronous
caller through aio_complete.  It turns out that basically no one
was doing this to avoid the complexity and context switches,
and we've already fixed up the remaining users and can now
get rid of this case.

fs: remove ki_nbytes

2015-03-13T03:50:23+00:00

There is no need to pass the total request length in the kiocb, as
we already get passed in through the iov_iter argument.

aio: Kill ki_dtor

2013-07-30T15:53:12+00:00

sock_aio_dtor() is dead code - and stuff that does need to do cleanup
can simply do it before calling aio_complete().

aio: Kill ki_users

2013-07-30T15:53:12+00:00

The kiocb refcount is only needed for cancellation - to ensure a kiocb
isn't freed while a ki_cancel callback is running. But if we restrict
ki_cancel callbacks to not block (which they currently don't), we can
simply drop the refcount.

aio: Kill unneeded kiocb members

2013-07-30T15:53:12+00:00

The old aio retry infrastucture needed to save the various arguments to
to aio operations. But with the retry infrastructure gone, we can trim
struct kiocb quite a bit.

aio: Kill aio_rw_vect_retry()

2013-07-30T15:53:12+00:00

This code doesn't serve any purpose anymore, since the aio retry
infrastructure has been removed.

This change should be safe because aio_read/write are also used for
synchronous IO, and called from do_sync_read()/do_sync_write() - and
there's no looping done in the sync case (the read and write syscalls).

aio: io_cancel() no longer returns the io_event

2013-07-30T15:53:11+00:00

Originally, io_event() was documented to return the io_event if
cancellation succeeded - the io_event wouldn't be delivered via the ring
buffer like it normally would.

But this isn't what the implementation was actually doing; the only
driver implementing cancellation, the usb gadget code, never returned an
io_event in its cancel function. And aio_complete() was recently changed
to no longer suppress event delivery if the kiocb had been cancelled.

This gets rid of the unused io_event argument to kiocb_cancel() and
kiocb->ki_cancel(), and changes io_cancel() to return -EINPROGRESS if
kiocb->ki_cancel() returned success.

Also tweak the refcounting in kiocb_cancel() to make more sense.
