ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears
to come with large performance improvements.
This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for
the root file-system. This is observed at least in the context of
starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm. The patch was tested
on 4.19 as well as master.
This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was
originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some
significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip
Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for
FILE_CACHE in particular.

Anatoly reports another squashfs fuzzing issue, where the decompression
parameters themselves are in a compressed block.
This causes squashfs_read_data() to be called in order to read the
decompression options before the decompression stream having been set
up, making squashfs go sideways.

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.

Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler
abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors
to access and process the output buffers in an implementation
independant manner.
This allows different types of output buffer to be passed
to the decompressors, with the implementation specific
aspects handled at decompression time, but without the
knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code.
This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs
cache buffers, and page cache pages.
This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for
the caches.

The decompressor interface and code was written from
the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing
so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific
aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it
difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor
implementations.
This patch does the following:
1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor
init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function
to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors,
without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each
time.
2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the
decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors
non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with
the decompressor implementation.
3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions
in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded
decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c.
The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to
support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c
files with specialised implementations of the functions in
decompressor_single.c

Fix potential use of uninitialised variable caused by recent
decompressor code optimisations.
In zlib_uncompress (zlib_wrapper.c) we have
int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0;
...
do {
...
if (avail == 0) {
offset = 0;
put_bh(bh[k++]);
continue;
}
...
zlib_err = zlib_inflate(stream, Z_SYNC_FLUSH);
...
} while (zlib_err == Z_OK);
If continue is executed (avail == 0) then the while condition will be
evaluated testing zlib_err, which is uninitialised first time around the
loop.
Fix this by getting rid of the 'if (avail == 0)' condition test, this
edge condition should not be being handled in the decompressor code, and
instead handle it generically in the caller code.
Similarly for xz_wrapper.c.
Incidentally, on most architectures (bar Mips and Parisc), no
uninitialised variable warning is generated by gcc, this is because the
while condition test on continue is optimised out and not performed
(when executing continue zlib_err has not been changed since entering
the loop, and logically if the while condition was true previously, then
it's still true).

Sizing the buffer based on block size is incorrect, leading
to a potential buffer over-run on 4K block size file systems
(because the metadata block size is always 8K). This bug
doesn't seem have triggered because 4K block size file systems
are not default, and also because metadata blocks after
compression tend to be less than 4K.

The corrupted filesystem patch added a check against zlib trying to
output too much data in the presence of data corruption. This check
triggered if zlib_inflate asked to be called again (Z_OK) with
avail_out == 0 and no more output buffers available. This check proves
to be rather dumb, as it incorrectly catches the case where zlib has
generated all the output, but there are still input bytes to be processed.
This patch does a number of things. It removes the original check and
replaces it with code to not move to the next output buffer if there
are no more output buffers available, relying on zlib to error if it
wants an extra output buffer in the case of data corruption. It
also replaces the Z_NO_FLUSH flag with the more correct Z_SYNC_FLUSH
flag, and makes the error messages more understandable to
non-technical users.

This fixes a code regression caused by the recent mainlining changes.
The recent code changes call zlib_inflate repeatedly, decompressing into
separate 4K buffers, this code didn't check for the possibility that
zlib_inflate might ask for too many buffers when decompressing corrupted
data.
