add barriers to buffer_uptodate and set_buffer_uptodate

2022-08-09T22:03:02+00:00

Let's have a look at this piece of code in __bread_slow:

	get_bh(bh);
	bh->b_end_io = end_buffer_read_sync;
	submit_bh(REQ_OP_READ, 0, bh);
	wait_on_buffer(bh);
	if (buffer_uptodate(bh))
		return bh;

Neither wait_on_buffer nor buffer_uptodate contain any memory barrier.
Consequently, if someone calls sb_bread and then reads the buffer data,
the read of buffer data may be executed before wait_on_buffer(bh) on
architectures with weak memory ordering and it may return invalid data.

Fix this bug by adding a memory barrier to set_buffer_uptodate and an
acquire barrier to buffer_uptodate (in a similar way as
folio_test_uptodate and folio_mark_uptodate).

fs: remove the nobh helpers

All callers are gone, so remove the now dead code.

mm/migrate: Convert buffer_migrate_page() to buffer_migrate_folio()

2022-08-02T16:34:03+00:00

Use a folio throughout __buffer_migrate_folio(), add kernel-doc for
buffer_migrate_folio() and buffer_migrate_folio_norefs(), move their
declarations to buffer.h and switch all filesystems that have wired
them up.

fs/buffer: Combine two submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() arguments

2022-07-14T18:14:32+00:00

Both submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() accept a request operation type and
request flags as their first two arguments. Micro-optimize these two
functions by combining these first two arguments into a single argument.
This patch does not change the behavior of any of the modified code.

fs/buffer: Use the new blk_opf_t type

2022-07-14T18:14:32+00:00

Improve static type checking by using the new blk_opf_t type for block layer
request flags. Change WRITE into REQ_OP_WRITE. This patch does not change
any functionality since REQ_OP_WRITE == WRITE == 1.

fs: Change try_to_free_buffers() to take a folio

2022-05-10T03:12:34+00:00

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.

fs: Convert block_read_full_page() to block_read_full_folio()

2022-05-09T20:21:44+00:00

This function is NOT converted to handle large folios, so include
an assert that the filesystem isn't passing one in.  Otherwise, use
the folio functions instead of the page functions, where they exist.
Convert all filesystems which use block_read_full_page().
