Re: [RFC PATCH 00/31] netfs: [WIP] Allow the use of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and use netmem allocator

Hi Enzo,

I now have encryption, compression and encryption+compression all working :-)

I've pushed my patches here:

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/log/?h=cifs-experimental

It should work up to "cifs: Don't use corking".

Btw, is is_compressible() actually worth doing?  It seems to copy a lot of
data (up to 4M) to an extra buffer and then do various analyses on it,
including doing a sort.

I need to extract a fix for collect_sample(), which I can do tomorrow, but it
should look something like:

/*
 * Collect some 2K samples with 2K gaps between.
 */
static int collect_sample(const struct iov_iter *source, ssize_t max, u8 *sample)
{
	struct iov_iter iter = *source;
	size_t s = 0;

	while (iov_iter_count(&iter) >= SZ_2K) {
		size_t part = umin(umin(iov_iter_count(&iter), SZ_2K), max);
		size_t n;

		n = copy_from_iter(sample + s, part, &iter);
		if (n != part)
			return -EFAULT;

		s += n;
		max -= n;

		if (iov_iter_count(&iter) < PAGE_SIZE - SZ_2K)
			break;

		iov_iter_advance(&iter, SZ_2K);
	}

	return s;
}

What's currently upstream won't work and may crash because it assumes that
ITER_XARRAY is in use - which should now never be true.

Also, there's a bug in wireshark's LZ77 decoder.  See attached patch.
