2022-05-10fs: Change try_to_free_buffers() to take a folioMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-1/+1
All but two of the callers already have a folio; pass a folio into try_to_free_buffers(). This removes the last user of cancel_dirty_page() so remove that wrapper function too. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

2020-01-09fs: move guard_bio_eod() after bio_set_op_attrsMing Lei1-1/+1
Commit 85a8ce62c2ea ("block: add bio_truncate to fix guard_bio_eod") adds bio_truncate() for handling bio EOD. However, bio_truncate() doesn't use the passed 'op' parameter from guard_bio_eod's callers. So bio_trunacate() may retrieve wrong 'op', and zering pages may not be done for READ bio. Fixes this issue by moving guard_bio_eod() after bio_set_op_attrs() in submit_bh_wbc() so that bio_truncate() can always retrieve correct op info. Meantime remove the 'op' parameter from guard_bio_eod() because it isn't used any more.

Any file system that uses mpage_readpages() as its ->readpages() implementation will now get this right.

2018-08-18mpage: add argument structure for do_mpage_readpage()Jens Axboe1-52/+57
Patch series "Submit ->readpages() IO as read-ahead", v4. The only caller of ->readpages() is from read-ahead, yet we don't submit IO flagged with REQ_RAHEAD. This means we don't see it in blktrace, for instance, which is a shame. Additionally, it's preventing further functional changes in the block layer for deadling with read-ahead more intelligently. We already make assumptions about ->readpages() just being for read-ahead in the mpage implementation, using readahead_gfp_mask(mapping) as out GFP mask of choice. This small series fixes up mpage_readpages() to submit with REQ_RAHEAD, which takes care of file systems using mpage_readpages(). The first patch is a prep patch, that makes do_mpage_readpage() take an argument structure. This patch (of 4): We're currently passing 8 arguments to this function, clean it up a bit by packing the arguments in an args structure we pass to it. No intentional functional changes in this patch.

Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write isn't enough information.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

2016-07-27mm, memcg: use consistent gfp flags during readaheadMichal Hocko1-1/+3
Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from OOMs. This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily fixable. Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user and outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate this mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages. This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems are implementing ->readpages and the common implementation mpage_readpages does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again. We can tell it to use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is called only during readahead as well. The same applies to read_cache_pages. ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages != NULL can use the same gfp mask. Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are doing a very similar pattern to mpage_readpages so the same can be applied to them as well.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-10/+10
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2015-10-16mm, fs: obey gfp_mapping for add_to_page_cache()Michal Hocko1-6/+9
Commit 6afdb859b710 ("mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation paths") has caught some users of hardcoded GFP_KERNEL used in the page cache allocation paths. This, however, wasn't complete and there were others which went unnoticed. Dave Chinner has reported the following deadlock for xfs on loop device: : With the recent merge of the loop device changes, I'm now seeing : XFS deadlock on my single CPU, 1GB RAM VM running xfs/073. : : The deadlocked is as follows: : : kloopd1: loop_queue_read_work : xfs_file_iter_read : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_SHARED (on image file) : page cache read (GFP_KERNEL) : radix tree alloc : memory reclaim : reclaim XFS inodes : log force to unpin inodes : <wait for log IO completion> : : xfs-cil/loop1: <does log force IO work> : xlog_cil_push : xlog_write : <loop issuing log writes> : xlog_state_get_iclog_space() : <blocks due to all log buffers under write io> : <waits for IO completion> : : kloopd1: loop_queue_write_work : xfs_file_write_iter : lock XFS inode XFS_IOLOCK_EXCL (on image file) : <wait for inode to be unlocked> : : i.e. the kloopd, with it's split read and write work queues, has : introduced a dependency through memory reclaim. i.e. that writes : need to be able to progress for reads make progress. : : The problem, fundamentally, is that mpage_readpages() does a : GFP_KERNEL allocation, rather than paying attention to the inode's : mapping gfp mask, which is set to GFP_NOFS. : : The didn't used to happen, because the loop device used to issue : reads through the splice path and that does: : : error = add_to_page_cache_lru(page, mapping, index, : GFP_KERNEL & mapping_gfp_mask(mapping)); This has changed by commit aa4d86163e4 ("block: loop: switch to VFS ITER_BVEC"). This patch changes mpage_readpage{s} to follow gfp mask set for the mapping. There are, however, other places which are doing basically the same. lustre:ll_dir_filler is doing GFP_KERNEL from the function which apparently uses GFP_NOFS for other allocations so let's make this consistent. cifs:readpages_get_pages is called from cifs_readpages and __cifs_readpages_from_fscache called from the same path obeys mapping gfp. ramfs_nommu_expand_for_mapping is hardcoding GFP_KERNEL as well regardless it uses mapping_gfp_mask for the page allocation. ext4_mpage_readpages is the called from the page cache allocation path same as read_pages and read_cache_pages As I've noticed in my previous post I cannot say I would be happy about sprinkling mapping_gfp_mask all over the place and it sounds like we should drop gfp_mask argument altogether and use it internally in __add_to_page_cache_locked that would require all the filesystems to use mapping gfp consistently which I am not sure is the case here. From a quick glance it seems that some file system use it all the time while others are selective.

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

2015-06-02writeback: implement foreign cgroup inode detectionTejun Heo1-0/+1
As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks ownership per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common, and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed). To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier of an inode and will transfer the ownership to it. To avoid unnnecessary oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of history and gives out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage pattern is stable over a certain amount of time and/or writeback attempts. The detection mechanism has fairly low space and computation overhead. It adds 8 bytes to struct inode (one int and two u16's) and minimal amount of calculation per IO. The detection mechanism converges to the correct answer usually in several seconds of IO time when there's a clear majority dirtier. Even when there isn't, it can reach an acceptable answer fairly quickly under most circumstances. Please see wb_detach_inode() for more details. This patch only implements detection. Following patches will implement actual switching. v2: wbc_account_io() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate actual writing to the usual writeback path.
