This commit introduces a global cache replacement (instead of per-client
cleanup).
If one bufio client uses the cache heavily and another client is not using
it, we want to let the first client use most of the cache. The old
algorithm would partition the cache equally betwen the clients and that is
sub-optimal.
For cache replacement, we use the clock algorithm because it doesn't
require taking any lock when the buffer is accessed.

Revert the commit bd293d071ffe65e645b4d8104f9d8fe15ea13862. The proper
fix has been made available with commit d0a255e795ab ("loop: set
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for the worker thread").
Note that the fix offered by commit bd293d071ffe doesn't really prevent
the deadlock from occuring - if we look at the stacktrace reported by
Junxiao Bi, we see that it hangs in bit_wait_io and not on the mutex -
i.e. it has already successfully taken the mutex. Changing the mutex
from mutex_lock to mutex_trylock won't help with deadlocks that happen
afterwards.

When thin-volume is built on loop device, if available memory is low,
the following deadlock can be triggered:
One process P1 allocates memory with GFP_FS flag, direct alloc fails,
memory reclaim invokes memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan()
runs, mutex dm_bufio_client->lock is acquired, then P1 waits for dm_buffer
IO to complete in __try_evict_buffer().
But this IO may never complete if issued to an underlying loop device
that forwards it using direct-IO, which allocates memory using
GFP_KERNEL (see: do_blockdev_direct_IO()). If allocation fails, memory
reclaim will invoke memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan()
will be invoked, and since the mutex is already held by P1 the loop
thread will hang, and IO will never complete. Resulting in ABBA
deadlock.

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.
Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things. It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

Commit 6b5e718cc138 ("dm bufio: relax alignment constraint on slab
cache") relaxed alignment on dm-bufio cache, however it may break
dm-crypt or dm-integrity.
dm-crypt and dm-integrity require that the size of bio vector entries
(bv_len) is aligned on its sector size. bv_offset doesn't have to be
aligned, but bv_len must be. XFS sends unaligned bios, but they do not
cross page boundary, so the requirement for aligned bv_len is met.
Commit 6b5e718cc138 made dm-bufio send unaligned bios that cross page
boundary, this could break dm-crypt and dm-integrity.
Reinstates the alignment. Note that misaligned entries only happen when
we use slab/slub debugging. Without debugging, the entries are always
aligned.

The bio structure consumes a substantial part of dm_buffer. The bio
structure is only needed when doing I/O on the buffer, thus we don't
have to embed it in the buffer.
Allocate the bio structure only when doing I/O.
We don't need to create a bio_set because, in case of allocation
failure, dm-bufio falls back to using dm-io (which keeps its own
bio_set).

dm-bufio keeps the dm_bufio_cache_names array that holds names of the
slab caches.
Since the commit db265eca7700 ("mm/sl[aou]b: Move duping of slab name to
slab_common.c"), the kernel automatically duplicates the slab cache name
when creating the slab cache, so we no longer have to keep the name
allocated.
Remove the code that allocates the slab names and keeps them around.

Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target
modules can use it.
It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules
to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way. The
hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it
easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream.
A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL.

gcc-6.3 and earlier show a new warning after a seemingly unrelated
change to the arm64 PAGE_KERNEL definition:
In file included from drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:14:0:
drivers/md/dm-bufio.c: In function 'alloc_buffer':
include/linux/sched/mm.h:182:56: warning: 'noio_flag' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
current->flags = (current->flags & ~PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO) | flags;
^
The same warning happened earlier on linux-3.18 for MIPS and I did a
workaround for that, but now it's come back.
gcc-7 and newer are apparently smart enough to figure this out, and
other architectures don't show it, so the best I could come up with is
to rework the caller slightly in a way that makes it obvious enough to
all arm64 compilers what is happening here.

When system is under memory pressure it is observed that dm bufio
shrinker often reclaims only one buffer per scan. This change fixes
the following two issues in dm bufio shrinker that cause this behavior:
1. ((nr_to_scan - freed) <= retain_target) condition is used to
terminate slab scan process. This assumes that nr_to_scan is equal
to the LRU size, which might not be correct because do_shrink_slab()
in vmscan.c calculates nr_to_scan using multiple inputs.
As a result when nr_to_scan is less than retain_target (64) the scan
will terminate after the first iteration, effectively reclaiming one
buffer per scan and making scans very inefficient. This hurts vmscan
performance especially because mutex is acquired/released every time
dm_bufio_shrink_scan() is called.
New implementation uses ((LRU size - freed) <= retain_target)
condition for scan termination. LRU size can be safely determined
inside __scan() because this function is called after dm_bufio_lock().
2. do_shrink_slab() uses value returned by dm_bufio_shrink_count() to
determine number of freeable objects in the slab. However dm_bufio
always retains retain_target buffers in its LRU and will terminate
a scan when this mark is reached. Therefore returning the entire LRU size
from dm_bufio_shrink_count() is misleading because that does not
represent the number of freeable objects that slab will reclaim during
a scan. Returning (LRU size - retain_target) better represents the
number of freeable objects in the slab. This way do_shrink_slab()
returns 0 when (LRU size < retain_target) and vmscan will not try to
scan this shrinker avoiding scans that will not reclaim any memory.
Test: tested using Android device running
<AOSP>/system/extras/alloc-stress that generates memory pressure
and causes intensive shrinker scans

The default max_cache_size_bytes for dm-bufio is meant to be the lesser
of 25% of the size of the vmalloc area and 2% of the size of lowmem.
However, on 32-bit systems the intermediate result in the expression
(VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100
overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed. For example, on a
32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is
1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum
cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem). This causes
severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems.
Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage. Do
this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage. Also
replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary
to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.
Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment
"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.
While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new(). However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.
This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.
To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark. __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did. It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock. However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.
This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.
Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock(). If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.
Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.

This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must
not be done. As of the following commit:
be628be0956 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()")
... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing
the helper to be removed.
However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs
where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least
in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has
been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference
with either calls.
Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most
about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock
slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based
on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures
latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs
get_current_state().
Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used,
which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with
increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite
unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

If the first allocation attempt using GFP_NOWAIT fails, drop the lock
and retry using GFP_NOIO allocation (lock is dropped because the
allocation can take some time).
Note that we won't do GFP_NOIO allocation when we loop for the second
time, because the lock shouldn't be dropped between __wait_for_free_buffer
and __get_unclaimed_buffer.

another) of tasks all sitting there blocked on:

shrink_slab.part.54.constprop.65+0x100/0x464

In the two cases analyzed, we see one task that looks like this:

process_one_work+0x240/0x424
worker_thread+0x2fc/0x424
kthread+0x10c/0x114
...and that looks to be the one holding the mutex.
The problem has been reproduced on fairly easily:
0. Be running Chrome OS w/ verity enabled on the root filesystem
1. Pick test patch: http://crosreview.com/412360
2. Install launchBalloons.sh and balloon.arm from
http://crbug.com/468342
...that's just a memory stress test app.
3. On a 4GB rk3399 machine, run
nice ./launchBalloons.sh 4 900 100000
...that tries to eat 4 * 900 MB of memory and keep accessing.
4. Login to the Chrome web browser and restore many tabs
With that, I've seen printouts like:
DOUG: long bufio 90758 ms
...and stack trace always show's we're in dm_bufio_prefetch().
The problem is that we try to allocate memory with GFP_NOIO while
we're holding the dm_bufio lock. Instead we should be using
GFP_NOWAIT. Using GFP_NOIO can cause us to sleep while holding the
lock and that causes the above problems.
The current behavior explained by David Rientjes:
It will still try reclaim initially because __GFP_WAIT (or
__GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) is set by GFP_NOIO. This is the cause of
contention on dm_bufio_lock() that the thread holds. You want to
pass GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_NOIO to alloc_buffer() when holding a
mutex that can be contended by a concurrent slab shrinker (if
count_objects didn't use a trylock, this pattern would trivially
deadlock).
This change significantly increases responsiveness of the system while
in this state. It makes a real difference because it unblocks kswapd.
In the bug report analyzed, kswapd was hung:
kswapd0 D ffffffc000204fd8 0 72 2 0x00000000

Some drivers often use external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio->bi_io_vec in this way for this case.
After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio->bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
