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.

Now that migration doesn't clear page->mem_cgroup of live pages anymore,
it's safe to make lock_page_memcg() and the memcg stat functions take

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the
memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim
work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global
reclaim already is.
This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch
series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches.
This patch (of 5):
So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to
stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence
the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection
will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime.
Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,
we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to
identify locking sites along with it.

Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.
It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
already handle those separately.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
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.

Merge hickup on my part, due to a clash between the writeback
changes and the EOPNOTSUPP removal in _submit_bh().
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
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.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.
This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed.
wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.
As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.
v2: submit_blk_blkcg() 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.

[__]block_write_full_page() is used to implement ->writepage in
various filesystems. All writeback logic is now updated to handle
cgroup writeback and the block cgroup to issue IOs for is encoded in
writeback_control and can be retrieved from the inode; however,
[__]block_write_full_page() currently ignores the blkcg indicated by
inode and issues all bio's without explicit blkcg association.
This patch adds submit_bh_blkcg() which associates the bio with the
specified blkio cgroup before issuing and uses it in
__block_write_full_page() so that the issued bio's are associated with
inode_to_wb_blkcg_css(inode).

When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

cancel_dirty_page() had some issues and b9ea25152e ("page_writeback:
clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()") replaced it with
account_page_cleaned() which makes the caller responsible for clearing
the dirty bit; unfortunately, the planned changes for cgroup writeback
support requires synchronization between dirty bit manipulation and
stat updates. While we can open-code such synchronization in each
account_page_cleaned() callsite, that's gonna be unnecessarily awkward
and verbose.
This patch revives cancel_dirty_page() but in a more restricted form.
All it does is TestClearPageDirty() followed by account_page_cleaned()
invocation if the page was dirty. This helper covers all
account_page_cleaned() usages except for __delete_from_page_cache()
which is a special case anyway and left alone. As this leaves no
module user for account_page_cleaned(), EXPORT_SYMBOL() is dropped
from it.
This patch just revives cancel_dirty_page() as a trivial wrapper to
replace equivalent usages and doesn't introduce any functional
changes.

This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from
truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f9828 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
ongoing truncation").
Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats
final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes
dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
data might be lost.
Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
here.
cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is
helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
invalidation.
The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c79 ("Clean up
and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
3e67c0987d ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
ecdfc9787f ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
data=journal").
Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit
1b3b4a1a2d ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f ("Do
dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since
v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

When quiet_error applies rate limiting to buffer_io_error calls, what the

if the messages are interleaved with others:

[ 1936.067814] Buffer I/O error on dev sdr, logical block 257429953, lost async page write
Also, the function uses printk_ratelimit(), although printk.h includes a
comment advising "Please don't use... Instead use printk_ratelimited()."
Change buffer_io_error to check the BH_Quiet bit itself, drop the
printk_ratelimit call, and print using printk_ratelimited.
This makes the messages look like:

In a busy system, they may be interleaved with other prints,

It's very common for the buffer heads in the lru to have different block
numbers. By comparing the blocknr before the bdev and size we can
reduce the cost of searching in the very common case where all the
entries have the same bdev and size.
In quick hot cache cycle counting tests on a single fs workstation this
cut the cost of a miss by about 20%.
A diff of the disassembly shows the reordering of the bdev and blocknr
comparisons. This is in such a tiny loop that skipping one comparison
is a meaningful portion of the total work being done:

Increase the buffer-head per-CPU LRU size to allow efficient filesystem
operations that access many blocks for each transaction. For example,
creating a file in a large ext4 directory with quota enabled will access
multiple buffer heads and will overflow the LRU at the default 8-block LRU
size:
* parent directory inode table block (ctime, nlinks for subdirs)
* new inode bitmap
* inode table block
* 2 quota blocks
* directory leaf block (not reused, but pollutes one cache entry)
* 2 levels htree blocks (only one is reused, other pollutes cache)
* 2 levels indirect/index blocks (only one is reused)
The buffer-head per-CPU LRU size is raised to 16, as it shows in metadata
performance benchmarks up to 10% gain for create, 4% for lookup and 7% for
destroy.

This patchset implements readpages() operation for block device by using
mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
page and reduce system CPU time consumption.
This patch (of 3):
guard_bh_eod() is used in submit_bh() to allow us to do IO even on the odd
last sectors of a device, even if the block size is some multiple of the
physical sector size. This makes guard_bh_eod() more generic and renames
it guard_bio_eod() so that we can use it without struct buffer_head
argument.
The reason for this change is that using mpage_readpages() for block
device requires to add this guard check in mpage code.

This patch makes it possible to kill a process looping in
cont_expand_zero. A process may spend a lot of time in this function, so
it is desirable to be able to kill it.
It happened to me that I wanted to copy a piece data from the disk to a
file. By mistake, I used the "seek" parameter to dd instead of "skip". Due
to the "seek" parameter, dd attempted to extend the file and became stuck
doing so - the only possibility was to reset the machine or wait many
hours until the filesystem runs out of space and cont_expand_zero fails.
We need this patch to be able to terminate the process.

->page_mkwrite() is used by filesystems to allocate blocks under a page
which is becoming writeably mmapped in some process' address space. This
allows a filesystem to return a page fault if there is not enough space
available, user exceeds quota or similar problem happens, rather than
silently discarding data later when writepage is called.
However VFS fails to call ->page_mkwrite() in all the cases where
filesystems need it when blocksize < pagesize. For example when
blocksize = 1024, pagesize = 4096 the following is problematic:
ftruncate(fd, 0);
pwrite(fd, buf, 1024, 0);
map = mmap(NULL, 1024, PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
map[0] = 'a'; ----> page_mkwrite() for index 0 is called
ftruncate(fd, 10000); /* or even pwrite(fd, buf, 1, 10000) */
mremap(map, 1024, 10000, 0);
map[4095] = 'a'; ----> no page_mkwrite() called
At the moment ->page_mkwrite() is called, filesystem can allocate only
one block for the page because i_size == 1024. Otherwise it would create
blocks beyond i_size which is generally undesirable. But later at
->writepage() time, we also need to store data at offset 4095 but we
don't have block allocated for it.
This patch introduces a helper function filesystems can use to have
->page_mkwrite() called at all the necessary moments.

On 32-bit architectures, the legacy buffer_head functions are not always
handling the sector number with the proper 64-bit types, and will thus
fail on 4TB+ disks.
Any code that uses __getblk() (and thus bread(), breadahead(),
sb_bread(), sb_breadahead(), sb_getblk()), and calls it using a 64-bit
block on a 32-bit arch (where "long" is 32-bit) causes an inifinite loop
in __getblk_slow() with an infinite stream of errors logged to dmesg
like this:
__find_get_block_slow() failed. block=6740375944, b_blocknr=2445408648
b_state=0x00000020, b_size=512
device sda1 blocksize: 512
Note how in hex block is 0x191C1F988 and b_blocknr is 0x91C1F988 i.e. the
top 32-bits are missing (in this case the 0x1 at the top).
This is because grow_dev_page() is broken and has a 32-bit overflow due
to shifting the page index value (a pgoff_t - which is just 32 bits on
32-bit architectures) left-shifted as the block number. But the top
bits to get lost as the pgoff_t is not type cast to sector_t / 64-bit
before the shift.
This patch fixes this issue by type casting "index" to sector_t before
doing the left shift.
Note this is not a theoretical bug but has been seen in the field on a
4TiB hard drive with logical sector size 512 bytes.
This patch has been verified to fix the infinite loop problem on 3.17-rc5
kernel using a 4TB disk image mounted using "-o loop". Without this patch
doing a "find /nt" where /nt is an NTFS volume causes the inifinite loop
100% reproducibly whilst with the patch it works fine as expected.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

to a memory cgroup limit, where flushers + direct reclaim might not make
any progress towards resolving the situation at all. Because unlike the
global case, a memory cgroup may not have any cache at all, only
anonymous pages but no swap. This situation will lead to a reclaim
livelock with insane IO from waking the flushers and thrashing unrelated
filesystem cache in a tight loop.
Use __GFP_NOFAIL allocations for buffers for now. This makes sure that
any looping happens in the page allocator, which knows how to
orchestrate kswapd, direct reclaim, and the flushers sensibly. It also
allows memory cgroups to detect allocations that can't handle failure
and will allow them to ultimately bypass the limit if reclaim can not
make progress.

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that
can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
be accounted as congested.
This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the
page flags are obeyed.
Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
problem could be addressed.

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
to guarantee stable pages during writeback. Next, for the one user
(ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.
We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
file data can be written through the journal. Finally, the
MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
rid of it.
