mpage: use folios in bio end_io handler

2023-04-18T23:30:02+00:00

Use folios in the bio end_io handler.  This conversion does the
appropriate handling on the folios in the respective end_io callback and
removes the call to page_endio(), which is soon to be removed.

mpage: split submit_bio and bio end_io handler for reads and writes

2023-04-18T23:30:01+00:00

Split the submit_bio() and bio end_io handler for reads and writes similar
to other aops.

This is a prep patch before we convert end_io handlers to use folios.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Daniel Verkamp has contributed a memfd series ("mm/memfd: add
   F_SEAL_EXEC") which permits the setting of the memfd execute bit at
   memfd creation time, with the option of sealing the state of the X
   bit.

 - Peter Xu adds a patch series ("mm/hugetlb: Make huge_pte_offset()
   thread-safe for pmd unshare") which addresses a rare race condition
   related to PMD unsharing.

 - Several folioification patch serieses from Matthew Wilcox, Vishal
   Moola, Sidhartha Kumar and Lorenzo Stoakes

 - Johannes Weiner has a series ("mm: push down lock_page_memcg()")
   which does perform some memcg maintenance and cleanup work.

 - SeongJae Park has added DAMOS filtering to DAMON, with the series
   "mm/damon/core: implement damos filter".

   These filters provide users with finer-grained control over DAMOS's
   actions. SeongJae has also done some DAMON cleanup work.

 - Kairui Song adds a series ("Clean up and fixes for swap").

 - Vernon Yang contributed the series "Clean up and refinement for maple
   tree".

 - Yu Zhao has contributed the "mm: multi-gen LRU: memcg LRU" series. It
   adds to MGLRU an LRU of memcgs, to improve the scalability of global
   reclaim.

   series "mm: uffd-wp + change_protection() cleanups".

   his series "zsmalloc: make zspage chain size configurable".

 - Joey Gouly has added prctl() support for prohibiting the creation of
   writeable+executable mappings.

   The previous BPF-based approach had shortcomings. See "mm: In-kernel
   support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)".

 - Waiman Long did some kmemleak cleanup and bugfixing in the series
   "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF".

 - T.J. Alumbaugh has contributed some MGLRU cleanup work in his series
   "mm: multi-gen LRU: improve".

   statistics reporting, mainly by presenting the statistics on a
   per-node basis. See the series "Introduce per NUMA node memory error
   statistics".

   regression in compaction via his series "Fix excessive CPU usage
   during compaction".

   of the kernel in the series "Simplify the external interface for
   GUP".

 - SeongJae Park wishes to migrate people from DAMON's debugfs interface
   over to its sysfs interface. To support this, we'll temporarily be
   printing warnings when people use the debugfs interface. See the
   series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

 - Andrey Konovalov provided the accurately named "lib/stackdepot: fixes
   and clean-ups" series.

mpage: convert __mpage_writepage() to use a folio more fully

2023-02-03T06:33:34+00:00

This is just a conversion to the folio API.  While there are some nods
towards supporting multi-page folios in here, the blocks array is still
sized for one page's worth of blocks, and there are other assumptions such
as the blocks_per_page variable.

fs: convert writepage_t callback to pass a folio

2023-02-03T06:33:34+00:00

Patch series "Convert writepage_t to use a folio".

More folioisation.  I split out the mpage work from everything else
because it completely dominated the patch, but some implementations I just
converted outright.


This patch (of 2):

We always write back an entire folio, but that's currently passed as the
head page.  Convert all filesystems that use write_cache_pages() to expect
a folio instead of a page.

mpage: stop using bdev_{read,write}_page

2023-02-03T06:33:32+00:00

Patch series "remove ->rw_page".

This series removes the ->rw_page block_device_operation, which is an old
and clumsy attempt at a simple read/write fast path for the block layer. 
It isn't actually used by the fastest block layer operations that we
support (polled I/O through io_uring), but only used by the mpage buffered
I/O helpers which are some of the slowest I/O we have and do not make any
difference there at all, and zram which is a block device abused to
duplicate the zram functionality.

Given that zram is heavily used we need to make sure there is a good
replacement for synchronous I/O, so this series adds a new flag for
drivers that complete I/O synchronously and uses that flag to use on-stack
bios and synchronous submission for them in the swap code.


This patch (of 7):

These are micro-optimizations for synchronous I/O, which do not matter
compared to all the other inefficiencies in the legacy buffer_head based
mpage code.

fs: gracefully handle ->get_block not mapping bh in __mpage_writepage

2023-01-26T15:46:35+00:00

When filesystem's ->get_block function does not map the buffer head when
called from __mpage_writepage(), the function will happily go and pass
bogus bdev and block number to bio allocation routines which leads to
crashes sooner or later. E.g. UDF can do this because it doesn't want to
allocate blocks from ->writepages callbacks. It allocates blocks on
write or page fault but writeback can still spot dirty buffers without
underlying blocks allocated e.g. if blocksize < pagesize, the tail page
is dirtied (which means all its buffers are dirtied), and truncate
extends the file so that some buffer starts to be within i_size.

fs: don't allocate blocks beyond EOF from __mpage_writepage

2023-01-19T01:12:56+00:00

When __mpage_writepage() is called for a page beyond EOF, it will go and
allocate all blocks underlying the page.  This is not only unnecessary but
this way blocks can get leaked (e.g.  if a page beyond EOF is marked dirty
but in the end write fails and i_size is not extended).

fs: remove an outdated comment on mpage_writepages

2023-01-19T01:12:50+00:00

Patch series "remove generic_writepages"

This series removes generic_writepages by open coding the current
functionality in the three remaining callers.  Besides removing some
code the main benefit is that one of the few remaining ->writepage
callers from outside the core page cache code go away.

This patch (of 6):


mpage_writepages doesn't do any of the page locking itself, so remove and
outdated comment on the locking pattern there.
