fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper

2023-04-21T21:52:01+00:00

Folio version of create_empty_buffers().  This is required to convert
create_page_buffers() to folio_create_buffers() later in the series.

It removes several calls to compound_head() as it works directly on folio
compared to create_empty_buffers().  Hence, create_empty_buffers() has
been modified to call folio_create_empty_buffers().

buffer: add folio_alloc_buffers() helper

2023-04-21T21:52:01+00:00

Folio version of alloc_page_buffers() helper.  This is required to convert
create_page_buffers() to folio_create_buffers() later in the series.

alloc_page_buffers() has been modified to call folio_alloc_buffers() which
adds one call to compound_head() but folio_alloc_buffers() removes one
call to compound_head() compared to the existing alloc_page_buffers()
implementation.

fs/buffer: add folio_set_bh helper

2023-04-21T21:52:01+00:00

Patch series "convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers".

One of the first kernel panic we hit when we try to increase the block
size > 4k is inside create_page_buffers()[1].  Even though buffer.c
function do not support large folios (folios > PAGE_SIZE) at the moment,
these changes are required when we want to remove that constraint.


This patch (of 4):

The folio version of set_bh_page().  This is required to convert
create_page_buffers() to folio_create_buffers() later in the series.

buffer: add b_folio as an alias of b_page

2023-01-19T01:12:39+00:00

Patch series "Start converting buffer_heads to use folios".

I was hoping that filesystems would convert from buffer_heads to iomap,
but that's not happening particularly quickly.  So the buffer_head
infrastructure needs to be converted from being page-based to being
folio-based.


This patch (of 12):

Buffer heads point to the allocation (ie the folio), not the page.  This
is currently the same thing for all filesystems that use buffer heads, so
this is a safe transitional step.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
contention.

Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

- Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
to the single bit level.

KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

- Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
memory into THPs.

- Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
support file/shmem-backed pages.

- userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

- zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

- cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
memory-failure

page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

memory consumption.

tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
drivers, etc.

- vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

- NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

- xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
activity.

Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4

2022-10-07T00:45:53+00:00

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "The first two changes involve files outside of fs/ext4:

   - submit_bh() can never return an error, so change it to return void,
     and remove the unused checks from its callers

   - fix I_DIRTY_TIME handling so it will be set even if the inode
     already has I_DIRTY_INODE

  Performance:

   - Always enable i_version counter (as btrfs and xfs already do).
     Remove some uneeded i_version bumps to avoid unnecessary nfs cache
     invalidations

   - Wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, to avoid some journal users
     from not getting a journal handle for an unfairly long time

   - In ext4_write_begin() allocate any necessary buffer heads before
     starting the journal handle

   - Don't try to prefetch the block allocation bitmaps for a read-only
     file system

  Bug Fixes:

   - Fix a number of fast commit bugs, including resources leaks and out
     of bound references in various error handling paths and/or if the
     fast commit log is corrupted

   - Avoid stopping the online resize early when expanding a file system
     which is less than 16TiB to a size greater than 16TiB

   - Fix apparent metadata corruption caused by a race with a metadata
     buffer head getting migrated while it was trying to be read

   - Mark the lazy initialization thread freezable to prevent suspend
     failures

   - Other miscellaneous bug fixes

  Cleanups:

   - Break up the incredibly long ext4_full_super() function by
     refactoring to move code into more understandable, smaller
     functions

   - Remove the deprecated (and ignored) noacl and nouser_attr mount
     option

   - Factor out some common code in fast commit handling

   - Other miscellaneous cleanups"

fs/buffer: make submit_bh & submit_bh_wbc return type as void

2022-09-30T03:01:40+00:00

submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc are non-blocking functions which just submit
the bio and return. The caller of submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc needs to wait
on buffer till I/O completion and then check buffer head's b_state field
to know if there was any I/O error.

Hence there is no need for these functions to have any return type.
Even now they always returns 0. Hence drop the return value and make
their return type as void to avoid any confusion.

fs/buffer: add some new buffer read helpers

2022-09-12T03:26:06+00:00

Current ll_rw_block() helper is fragile because it assumes that locked
buffer means it's under IO which is submitted by some other who holds
the lock, it skip buffer if it failed to get the lock, so it's only
safe on the readahead path. Unfortunately, now that most filesystems
still use this helper mistakenly on the sync metadata read path. There
is no guarantee that the one who holds the buffer lock always submit IO
(e.g. buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() after commit 88dbcbb3a484 ("blkdev:
avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), it could lead to false
positive -EIO when submitting reading IO.

This patch add some friendly buffer read helpers to prepare replacing
ll_rw_block() and similar calls. We can only call bh_readahead_[]
helpers for the readahead paths.
