In iomap_write_end, we're not holding a page reference anymore when calling the page_done callback, but the callback needs that reference to access the page.

2019-02-28fs: fix guard_bio_eod to check for real EOD errorsCarlos Maiolino
guard_bio_eod() can truncate a segment in bio to allow it to do IO on odd last sectors of a device. It already checks if the IO starts past EOD, but it does not consider the possibility of an IO request starting within device boundaries can contain more than one segment past EOD. In such cases, truncated_bytes can be bigger than PAGE_SIZE, and will underflow bvec->bv_len. Fix this by checking if truncated_bytes is lower than PAGE_SIZE. This situation has been found on filesystems such as isofs and vfat, which doesn't check the device size before mount, if the device is smaller than the filesystem itself, a readahead on such filesystem, which spans EOD, can trigger this situation, leading a call to zero_user() with a wrong size possibly corrupting memory. I didn't see any crash, or didn't let the system run long enough to check if memory corruption will be hit somewhere, but adding instrumentation to guard_bio_end() to check truncated_bytes size, was enough to see the error. The following script can trigger the error.

2018-08-17fs, mm: account buffer_head to kmemcgShakeel Butt
The buffer_head can consume a significant amount of system memory and is directly related to the amount of page cache. In our production environment we have observed that a lot of machines are spending a significant amount of memory as buffer_head and can not be left as system memory overhead. Charging buffer_head is not as simple as adding __GFP_ACCOUNT to the allocation. The buffer_heads can be allocated in a memcg different from the memcg of the page for which buffer_heads are being allocated. One concrete example is memory reclaim. The reclaim can trigger I/O of pages of any memcg on the system. So, the right way to charge buffer_head is to extract the memcg from the page for which buffer_heads are being allocated and then use targeted memcg charging API.

2018-03-19buffer.c: call thaw_super during emergency thawMateusz Guzik
There are 2 distinct freezing mechanisms - one operates on block devices and another one directly on super blocks. Both end up with the same result, but thaw of only one of these does not thaw the other. In particular fsfreeze --freeze uses the ioctl variant going to the super block. Since prior to this patch emergency thaw was not doing a relevant thaw, filesystems frozen with this method remained unaffected. The patch is a hack which adds blind unfreezing. In order to keep the super block write-locked the whole time the code is shuffled around and the newly introduced __iterate_supers is employed.

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.

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() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2017-09-06fs: fix performance regression in clean_bdev_aliases()Jan Kara
Commit e64855c6cfaa ("fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh and use it") added a wrapper for clean_bdev_aliases() that invalidates bdev aliases underlying a single buffer head. However this has caused a performance regression for bonnie++ benchmark on ext4 filesystem when delayed allocation is turned off (ext3 mode) - average of 3 runs: Hmean SeqOut Char 164787.55 ( 0.00%) 107189.06 (-34.95%) Hmean SeqOut Block 219883.89 ( 0.00%) 168870.32 (-23.20%) The reason for this regression is that clean_bdev_aliases() is slower when called for a single block because pagevec_lookup() it uses will end up iterating through the radix tree until it finds a page (which may take a while) but we are only interested whether there's a page at a particular index. Fix the problem by using pagevec_lookup_range() instead which avoids the needless iteration.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig
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.

2017-07-10fs/buffer.c: make bh_lru_install() more efficientEric Biggers
To install a buffer_head into the cpu's LRU queue, bh_lru_install() would construct a new copy of the queue and then memcpy it over the real queue. But it's easily possible to do the update in-place, which is faster and simpler. Some work can also be skipped if the buffer_head was already in the queue. As a microbenchmark I timed how long it takes to run sb_getblk() 10,000,000 times alternating between BH_LRU_SIZE + 1 blocks. Effectively, this benchmarks looking up buffer_heads that are in the page cache but not in the LRU: Before this patch: 1.758s After this patch: 1.653s This patch also removes about 350 bytes of compiled code (on x86_64), partly due to removal of the memcpy() which was being inlined+unrolled.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton: "This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the series. The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their writes have made it to the backing store. For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This model really sucks for userland. Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0 (unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized setups that coordination may even not be possible. But wait...it gets worse! The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will (incorrectly) return 0. This pile aims to do three things: 1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call, regardless of what internal callers are doing 2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change, but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it. 3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what filesystems should do in this situation. To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland. Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess. There is a lot of work remaining here: 1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual filesystem trees. 2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for prime time yet. This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're interested in the gory details, LWN has some good articles about this: https://lwn.net/Articles/718734/ https://lwn.net/Articles/724307/" * tag 'for-linus-v4.13-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux: btrfs: minimal conversion to errseq_t writeback error reporting on fsync xfs: minimal conversion to errseq_t writeback error reporting ext4: use errseq_t based error handling for reporting data writeback errors fs: convert __generic_file_fsync to use errseq_t based reporting block: convert to errseq_t based writeback error tracking dax: set errors in mapping when writeback fails Documentation: flesh out the section in vfs.txt on storing and reporting writeback errors mm: set both AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC and errseq_t in mapping_set_error fs: new infrastructure for writeback error handling and reporting lib: add errseq_t type and infrastructure for handling it mm: don't TestClearPageError in __filemap_fdatawait_range mm: clear AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC when writeback initiation fails jbd2: don't clear and reset errors after waiting on writeback buffer: set errors in mapping at the time that the error occurs fs: check for writeback errors after syncing out buffers in generic_file_fsync buffer: use mapping_set_error instead of setting the flag mm: fix mapping_set_error call in me_pagecache_dirty
2017-07-06buffer: set errors in mapping at the time that the error occursJeff Layton
I noticed on xfs that I could still sometimes get back an error on fsync on a fd that was opened after the error condition had been cleared. The problem is that the buffer code sets the write_io_error flag and then later checks that flag to set the error in the mapping. That flag perisists for quite a while however. If the file is later opened with O_TRUNC, the buffers will then be invalidated and the mapping's error set such that a subsequent fsync will return error. I think this is incorrect, as there was no writeback between the open and fsync. Add a new mark_buffer_write_io_error operation that sets the flag and the error in the mapping at the same time. Replace all calls to set_buffer_write_io_error with mark_buffer_write_io_error, and remove the places that check this flag in order to set the error in the mapping. This sets the error in the mapping earlier, at the time that it's first detected.
