mm: Define struct folio_queue and ITER_FOLIOQ to handle a sequence of folios

Define a data structure, struct folio_queue, to represent a sequence of
folios and a kernel-internal I/O iterator type, ITER_FOLIOQ, to allow a
list of folio_queue structures to be used to provide a buffer to
iov_iter-taking functions, such as sendmsg and recvmsg.

The folio_queue structure looks like:

struct folio_queue {
struct folio_batch vec;
u8 orders[PAGEVEC_SIZE];
struct folio_queue *next;
struct folio_queue *prev;
unsigned long marks;
unsigned long marks2;
};

It does not use a list_head so that next and/or prev can be set to NULL at
the ends of the list, allowing iov_iter-handling routines to determine that
they *are* the ends without needing to store a head pointer in the iov_iter
struct.

A folio_batch struct is used to hold the folio pointers which allows the
batch to be passed to batch handling functions. Two mark bits are
available per slot. The intention is to use at least one of them to mark
folios that need putting, but that might not be ultimately necessary.
Accessor functions are used to access the slots to do the masking and an
additional accessor function is used to indicate the size of the array.

The order of each folio is also stored in the structure to avoid the need
for iov_iter_advance() and iov_iter_revert() to have to query each folio to
find its size.

With careful barriering, this can be used as an extending buffer with new
folios inserted and new folio_queue structs added without the need for a
lock. Further, provided we always keep at least one struct in the buffer,
we can also remove consumed folios and consumed structs from the head end
as we without the need for locks.

[Questions/thoughts]

(1) To manage this, I need a head pointer, a tail pointer, a tail slot
number (assuming insertion happens at the tail end and the next
pointers point from head to tail). Should I put these into a struct
of their own, say "folio_queue_head" or "rolling_buffer"?

I will end up with two of these in netfs_io_request eventually, one
keeping track of the pagecache I'm dealing with for buffered I/O and
the other to hold a bounce buffer when we need one.

(2) Should I make the slots {folio,off,len} or bio_vec?

(3) This is intended to replace ITER_XARRAY eventually. Using an xarray
in I/O iteration requires the taking of the RCU read lock, doing
copying under the RCU read lock, walking the xarray (which may change
under us), handling retries and dealing with special values.

The advantage of ITER_XARRAY is that when we're dealing with the
pagecache directly, we don't need any allocation - but if we're doing
encrypted comms, there's a good chance we'd be using a bounce buffer
anyway.

This will require afs, erofs, cifs, orangefs and fscache to be
converted to not use this. afs still uses it for dirs and symlinks;
some of erofs usages should be easy to change, but there's one which
won't be so easy; ceph's use via fscache can be fixed by porting ceph
to netfslib; cifs is using xarray as a bounce buffer - that can be
moved to use sheaves instead; and orangefs has a similar problem to
erofs - maybe orangefs could use netfslib?

lib/scatterlist: Fix to calculate the last_pg properly

The last_pg is wrong, it is actually the first page of the last
scatterlist element. To get the last page of the last scatterlist element
we have to add prv->length. So it is checking mergability against the
wrong page, Further, a SG element is not guaranteed to end on a page
boundary, so we have to check the sub page location also for merge
eligibility.

Fix the above by checking physical contiguity based on PFNs, compute the
actual last page and then call pages_are_mergable().

lib/scatterlist: Fix to merge contiguous pages into the last SG properly

When sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages() calls to pages_are_mergeable() in
its 'sgt_append->prv' flow to check whether it can merge contiguous pages
into the last SG, it passes the page arguments in the wrong order.

The first parameter should be the next candidate page to be merged to
the last page and not the opposite.

The current code leads to a corrupted SG which resulted in OOPs and
unexpected errors when non-contiguous pages are merged wrongly.

mm/scatterlist: replace the !preemptible warning in sg_miter_stop()

sg_miter_stop() checks for disabled preemption before unmapping a page
via kunmap_atomic(). The kernel doc mentions under context that
preemption must be disabled if SG_MITER_ATOMIC is set.

There is no active requirement for the caller to have preemption
disabled before invoking sg_mitter_stop(). The sg_mitter_*()
implementation itself has no such requirement.

In fact, preemption is disabled by kmap_atomic() as part of
sg_miter_next() and remains disabled as long as there is an active
SG_MITER_ATOMIC mapping. This is a consequence of kmap_atomic() and not
a requirement for sg_mitter_*() itself.

The user chooses SG_MITER_ATOMIC because it uses the API in a context
where blocking is not possible or blocking is possible but he chooses a
lower weight mapping which is not available on all CPUs and so it might
need less overhead to setup at a price that now preemption will be
disabled.

The kmap_atomic() implementation on PREEMPT_RT does not disable
preemption. It simply disables CPU migration to ensure that the task
remains on the same CPU while the caller remains preemptible. This in
turn triggers the warning in sg_miter_stop() because preemption is
allowed.

The PREEMPT_RT and !PREEMPT_RT implementation of kmap_atomic() disable
pagefaults as a requirement. It is sufficient to check for this instead
of disabled preemption.

Check for disabled pagefault handler in the SG_MITER_ATOMIC case.
Remove the "preemption disabled" part from the kernel doc as the
sg_milter*() implementation does not care.

lib/scatterlist: Fix wrong update of orig_nents

orig_nents should represent the number of entries with pages,
but __sg_alloc_table_from_pages sets orig_nents as the number of
total entries in the table. This is wrong when the API is used for
dynamic allocation where not all the table entries are mapped with
pages. It wasn't observed until now, since RDMA umem who uses this
API in the dynamic form doesn't use orig_nents implicit or explicit
by the scatterlist APIs.

Fix it by changing the append API to track the SG append table
state and have an API to free the append table according to the
total number of entries in the table.
Now all APIs set orig_nents as number of enries with pages.

lib/scatterlist: Do not limit max_segment to PAGE_ALIGNED values

The main intention of the max_segment argument to
__sg_alloc_table_from_pages() is to match the DMA layer segment size set
by dma_set_max_seg_size().

Restricting the input to be page aligned makes it impossible to just
connect the DMA layer to this API.

The only reason for a page alignment here is because the algorithm will
overshoot the max_segment if it is not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. Simply fix
the alignment before starting and don't expose this implementation detail
to the callers.

A future patch will completely remove SCATTERLIST_MAX_SEGMENT.

sgl_alloc_order: fix memory leak

sgl_alloc_order() can fail when 'length' is large on a memory
constrained system. When order > 0 it will potentially be
making several multi-page allocations with the later ones more
likely to fail than the earlier one. So it is important that
sgl_alloc_order() frees up any pages it has obtained before
returning NULL. In the case when order > 0 it calls the wrong
free page function and leaks. In testing the leak was
sufficient to bring down my 8 GiB laptop with OOM.

lib/scatterlist: Add support in dynamic allocation of SG table from pages

Extend __sg_alloc_table_from_pages to support dynamic allocation of
SG table from pages. It should be used by drivers that can't supply
all the pages at one time.

This function returns the last populated SGE in the table. Users should
pass it as an argument to the function from the second call and forward.
As before, nents will be equal to the number of populated SGEs (chunks).

With this new extension, drivers can benefit the optimization of merging
contiguous pages without a need to allocate all pages in advance and
hold them in a large buffer.

E.g. with the Infiniband driver that allocates a single page for hold the
pages. For 1TB memory registration, the temporary buffer would consume only
4KB, instead of 2GB.

lib/scatterlist: Fix mapping iterator when sg->offset is greater than PAGE_SIZE

All mapping iterator logic is based on the assumption that sg->offset
is always lower than PAGE_SIZE.

But there are situations where sg->offset is such that the SG item
is on the second page. In that case sg_copy_to_buffer() fails
properly copying the data into the buffer. One of the reason is
that the data will be outside the kmapped area used to access that
data.

This patch fixes the issue by adjusting the mapping iterator
offset and pgoffset fields such that offset is always lower than
PAGE_SIZE.

scsi: lib/sg_pool.c: improve APIs for allocating sg pool

sg_alloc_table_chained() currently allows the caller to provide one
preallocated SGL and returns if the requested number isn't bigger than
size of that SGL. This is used to inline an SGL for an IO request.

However, scattergather code only allows that size of the 1st preallocated
SGL to be SG_CHUNK_SIZE(128). This means a substantial amount of memory
(4KB) is claimed for the SGL for each IO request. If the I/O is small, it
would be prudent to allocate a smaller SGL.

Introduce an extra parameter to sg_alloc_table_chained() and
sg_free_table_chained() for specifying size of the preallocated SGL.

Both __sg_free_table() and __sg_alloc_table() assume that each SGL has the
same size except for the last one. Change the code to allow both functions
to accept a variable size for the 1st preallocated SGL.

lib/scatterlist: Provide a DMA page iterator

Commit 2db76d7c3c6d ("lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o
backing pages") introduced the sg_page_iter_dma_address() function without
providing a way to use it in the general case. If the sg_dma_len() is not
equal to the sg length callers cannot safely use the
for_each_sg_page/sg_page_iter_dma_address combination.

Resolve this API mistake by providing a DMA specific iterator,
for_each_sg_dma_page(), that uses the right length so
sg_page_iter_dma_address() works as expected with all sglists.

A new iterator type is introduced to provide compile-time safety against
wrongly mixing accessors and iterators.
