iov: improve copy_iovec_from_user() code generation
Use the same pattern as the compat version of this code does: instead of copying the whole array to a kernel buffer and then having a separate phase of verifying it, just do it one entry at a time, verifying as you go. On Jens' /dev/zero readv() test this improves performance by ~6%. [ This was obviously triggered by Jens' ITER_UBUF updates series ] Reported-and-tested-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/de35d11d-bce7-e976-7372-1f2caf417103@kernel.dk/ Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
