Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] block: Make old dio use iov_iter_extract_pages() and page pinning

Hi Christoph, David, Lorenzo,

Here are three patches that go on top of the similar patches for bio
structs now in the block tree that make the old block direct-IO code use
iov_iter_extract_pages() and page pinning.

There are three patches:

 (1) Make page pinning neither add nor remove a pin to/from a ZERO_PAGE,
     thereby allowing the dio code to insert zero pages in the middle of
     dealing with pinned pages.  This also mitigates a potential problem
     whereby userspace could force the overrun the pin counter of a zero
     page.

     A pair of functions are provided to wrap the testing of a page or
     folio to see if it is a zero page.

 (2) Provide a function to allow an additional pin to be taken on a page we
     already have pinned (and do nothing for a zero page).

 (3) Switch direct-io.c over to using page pinning and to use
     iov_iter_extract_pages() so that pages from non-user-backed iterators
     aren't pinned.

I've pushed the patches here also:

Changes
=======
ver #3)
 - Move is_zero_page() and is_zero_folio() to mm.h for dependency reasons.
 - Add more comments and adjust the docs about pinning zero pages.
 - Rename page_get_additional_pin() to folio_add_pin().
 - Use is_zero_folio() in folio_add_pin().
 - Rename need_unpin to is_pinned in struct dio.

ver #2)
 - Fix use of ZERO_PAGE().
 - Add wrappers for testing if a page is a zero page.
 - Return the zero page obtained, not ZERO_PAGE(0) unconditionally.
 - Need to set BIO_PAGE_PINNED conditionally, and not BIO_PAGE_REFFED.
