Several issues noticed/fixed:
- We cannot reliably block in link_pipe() while holding both input and output
mutexes. So do preparatory checks before locking down both mutexes and doing
the link.
- The ipipe->nrbufs vs i check was bad, because we could have dropped the
ipipe lock in-between. This causes us to potentially look at unknown
buffers if we were racing with someone else reading this pipe.

Otherwise we could be racing with truncate/mapping removal.

This can happen quite easily, if several processes are trying to splice
the same file at the same time. It's not a failure, it just means someone
raced with us in allocating this file page. So just dump the allocated
page and relookup the original.

Nick says that the current construct isn't safe. This goes back to the
original, but sets PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU on user pages as well as they all
seem to be on the LRU in the first place.

Looking at generic_file_buffered_write(), we need to unlock_page() if
prepare write fails and it isn't due to racing with truncate().
Also trim the size if ->prepare_write() fails, if we have to.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
Currently we rely on the PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU flag being set correctly
to know whether we need to fiddle with page LRU state after stealing it,
however for some origins we just don't know if the page is on the LRU
list or not.
So remove PIPE_BUF_FLAG_LRU and do this check/add manually in pipe_to_file()
instead.

We need to use the minium of {len, PAGE_SIZE-off}, not {len, PAGE_SIZE}-off.
The latter doesn't make any sense, and could cause us to attempt negative
length transfers...

If SPLICE_F_GIFT is set, the user is basically giving this pages away to
the kernel. That means we can steal them for eg page cache uses instead
of copying it.
The data must be properly page aligned and also a multiple of the page size
in length.

The pipe ->map() method uses kmap() to virtually map the pages, which
is both slow and has known scalability issues on SMP. This patch enables
atomic copying of pipe pages, by pre-faulting data and using kmap_atomic()
instead.
lmbench bw_pipe and lat_pipe measurements agree this is a Good Thing. Here
are results from that on a UP machine with highmem (1.5GiB of RAM), running
first a UP kernel, SMP kernel, and SMP kernel patched.

The ->map() function is really expensive on highmem machines right now,
since it has to use the slower kmap() instead of kmap_atomic(). Splice
rarely needs to access the virtual address of a page, so it's a waste
of time doing it.
Introduce ->pin() to take over the responsibility of making sure the
page data is valid. ->map() is then reduced to just kmap(). That way we
can also share a most of the pipe buffer ops between pipe.c and splice.c

- Only allow full pages to go to the page cache.
- Check page != buf->page instead of using PIPE_BUF_FLAG_STOLEN.
- Remember to clear 'stolen' if add_to_page_cache() fails.
And as a cleanup on that:
- Make the bottom fall-through logic a little less convoluted. Also make
the steal path hold an extra reference to the page, so we don't have
to differentiate between stolen and non-stolen at the end.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
- Check that page has suitable count for stealing in the regular pipes.
- pipe_to_file() assumes that the page is locked on succesful steal, so
do that in the pipe steal hook
- Missing unlock_page() in add_to_page_cache() failure.

Use the new find_get_pages_contig() to potentially look up the entire
splice range in one single call. This speeds up generic_file_splice_read()
quite a bit.

sys_splice() moves data to/from pipes with a file input/output. sys_vmsplice()
moves data to a pipe, with the input being a user address range instead.
This uses an approach suggested by Linus, where we can hold partial ranges
inside the pages[] map. Hopefully this will be useful for network
receive support as well.

Make the move_from_pipe() actors return number of bytes processed, then
move_from_pipe() can decide more cleverly when to move on to the next
buffer.
This fixes problems with pipe offset and differing file offset.

Since ->map() no longer locks the page, we need to adjust the handling
of those pages (and stealing) a little. This now passes full regressions
again.

Basically an in-kernel implementation of tee, which uses splice and the
pipe buffers as an intelligent way to pass data around by reference.
Where the user space tee consumes the input and produces a stdout and
file output, this syscall merely duplicates the data inside a pipe to
another pipe. No data is copied, the output just grabs a reference to the
input pipe data.

We need not use ->f_pos as the offset for the file input/output. If the
user passed an offset pointer in through sys_splice(), just use that and
leave ->f_pos alone.

Using find_get_page() is a lot faster than find_or_create_page(). This
gets splice a lot closer to sendfile() for fd -> socket transfers.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
It's more efficient for sendfile() emulation. Basically we cache an
internal private pipe and just use that as the intermediate area for
pages. Direct splicing is not available from sys_splice(), it is only
meant to be used for sendfile() emulation.
Additional patch from Ingo Molnar to avoid the PIPE_BUFFERS loop at
exit for the normal fast path.

add optional input and output offsets to sys_splice(), for seekable file
descriptors:
asmlinkage long sys_splice(int fd_in, loff_t __user *off_in,
int fd_out, loff_t __user *off_out,
size_t len, unsigned int flags);
semantics are straightforward: f_pos will be updated with the offset
provided by user-space, before the splice transfer is about to begin.
Providing a NULL offset pointer means the existing f_pos will be used
(and updated in situ). Providing an offset for a pipe results in
-ESPIPE. Providing an invalid offset pointer results in -EFAULT.

separate out the 'internal pipe object' abstraction, and make it
usable to splice. This cleans up and fixes several aspects of the
internal splice APIs and the pipe code:
- pipes: the allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info is now more symmetric
and more streamlined with existing kernel practices.
- splice: small micro-optimization: less pointer dereferencing in splice
methods

Originally from Nick Piggin, just adapted to the newer branch.
You can't check PageLRU without holding zone->lru_lock. The page
release code can get away with it only because the page refcount is 0 at
that point. Also, you can't reliably remove pages from the LRU unless
the refcount is 0. Ever.

Thanks to Andrew for the good explanation of why this is so. akpm writes:
If a page is under writeback and we remove it from pagecache, it's still
going to get written to disk. But the VFS no longer knows about that page,
nor that this page is about to modify disk blocks.
So there might be scenarios in which those
blocks-which-are-about-to-be-written-to get reused for something else.
When writeback completes, it'll scribble on those blocks.
This won't happen in ext2/ext3-style filesystems in normal mode because the
page has buffers and try_to_release_page() will fail.
But ext2 in nobh mode doesn't attach buffers at all - it just sticks the
page in a BIO, finds some new blocks, points the BIO at those blocks and
lets it rip.
While that write IO's in flight, someone could truncate the file. Truncate
won't block on the writeout because the page isn't in pagecache any more.
So truncate will the free the blocks from the file under the page's feet.
Then something else can reallocate those blocks. Then write data to them.
Now, the original write completes, corrupting the filesystem.

By cleaning up the writeback logic (killing write_one_page() and the manual
set_page_dirty()), we can get rid of ->stolen inside the pipe_buffer and
just keep it local in pipe_to_file().
This also adds dirty page balancing logic and O_SYNC handling.
