The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in
__writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker
decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either
because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this
directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the
strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.

<title>writeback: Fix sync livelock due to b_dirty_time processing</title>

<content type='text'>
When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

<title>mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead</title>
<updated>2020-06-02T17:59:08+00:00</updated>

<id>8d92890bd6b8502d6aee4b37430ae6444ade7a8c</id>
<content type='text'>
After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds.  If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.

These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count.  This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g.  releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT).  However now that all writes generated by -&gt;writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.

So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.

A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).

Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput.  With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.

Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero.  static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

<title>memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears</title>

<id>68f23b89067fdf187763e75a56087550624fdbee</id>
<content type='text'>
Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and
bdi_writeback structures.  In this world, things are fairly
straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown
the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures
that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully
drained.

With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi
and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects
which can all point to a single bdi.  There is a refcount which prevents
the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered).  So in
theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount
goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero,
release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister).

Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about
the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly.  It does
this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything
else.  This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be
unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown.  So when
one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to
dereference their wb-&gt;bdi-&gt;dev to fetch the device name, but
unfortunately bdi-&gt;dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister()
called by del_gendisk().  As a result, *boom*.

Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly
happy with bdi-&gt;dev and bdi-&gt;owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to
create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi-&gt;dev being NULL.
This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent
them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is
tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage
stick is pulled.

The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device
while writeback with memcg enabled is going on.  It was triggering
several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

<title>kernfs: convert kernfs_node-&gt;id from union kernfs_node_id to u64</title>

kernfs_node-&gt;id is currently a union kernfs_node_id which represents
either a 32bit (ino, gen) pair or u64 value.  I can't see much value
in the usage of the union - all that's needed is a 64bit ID which the
current code is already limited to.  Using a union makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and prevents using 64bit ino without adding
practical benefits.

This patch drops union kernfs_node_id and makes kernfs_node-&gt;id a u64.
ino is stored in the lower 32bits and gen upper.  Accessors -
kernfs[_id]_ino() and kernfs[_id]_gen() - are added to retrieve the
ino and gen.  This simplifies ID handling less cumbersome and will
allow using 64bit inos on supported archs.

This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

Writeback TPs currently use mix of 32 and 64bits for inos.  This isn't
currently broken because only cgroup inos are using 32bits and they're
limited to 32bits.  cgroup inos will make use of 64bits.  Let's
uniformly use ino_t.

While at it, switch the default cgroup ino value used when cgroup is
disabled to 1 instead of -1U as root cgroup always uses ino 1.

There are many of those warnings.

Fix it by using the new strscpy_pad() which was introduced in "lib/string:
Add strscpy_pad() function" and will always be NUL-terminated instead of
strncpy().  Also, change strlcpy() to use strscpy_pad() in this file for
consistency.

page-&gt;mapping may encode different values in it and page_mapping()
should always be used to access the mapping pointer.
track_foreign_dirty tracepoint was incorrectly accessing page-&gt;mapping
directly.  Use page_mapping() instead.  Also, add NULL checks while at
it.
