You had me up until this last patch.
I'm actually making use of iov_iter_is_aligned() in a series of
changes for both NFS and NFSD. Chuck has included some of the
NFSD changes in his nfsd-testing branch, see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/commit/?h=nfsd-testing&id=5d78ac1e674b45f9c9e3769b48efb27c44f4e4d3
And the balance of my work that is pending review/inclusion is:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250731230633.89983-1-snitzer@kernel.org/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250801171049.94235-1-snitzer@kernel.org/
I only need iov_iter_aligned_bvec, but recall I want to relax its
checking with this patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-nfs/20250708160619.64800-5-snitzer@kernel.org/
Should I just add iov_iter_aligned_bvec() to fs/nfs_common/ so that
both NFS and NFSD can use it?
Thanks,
Mike

If at all possible, I recommend finding a place that already walks the vectors and do an opprotunistic check for the alignments there. This will save CPU cycles. For example, nfsd_iter_read already iterates the bvec while setting each page. Could you check the alignment while doing that instead of iterating a second time immediately after?

I'm currently using iov_iter_is_aligned() in 3 new call sites (for READ and WRITE) in both NFS and NFSD: nfs_local_iter_init, nfsd_iter_read, nfsd_vfs_write nfsd_vfs_write is the only one that doesn't iterate the bvec as-is, but it does work that _should_ obviate the need to doable check the alignment.

FYI, I was able to avoid using iov_iter_is_aligned() in favor of checks in earlier code (in both NFSD and NFS). Thanks, Mike

I promise removing the extra iteration is totally worth it. ;) I just know of one error case bug mentioned in patch 2, so unless I hear anything else, I'll spin out the new version with a fix for just that tomorrow.
