git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs Pull xfs updates from Dave Chinner: "There's quite a lot in this request, and there's some cross-over with ext4, dax and quota code due to the nature of the changes being made. As for the rest of the XFS changes, there are lots of little things all over the place, which add up to a lot of changes in the end. The major changes are that we've reduced the size of the struct xfs_inode by ~100 bytes (gives an inode cache footprint reduction of >10%), the writepage code now only does a single set of mapping tree lockups so uses less CPU, delayed allocation reservations won't overrun under random write loads anymore, and we added compile time verification for on-disk structure sizes so we find out when a commit or platform/compiler change breaks the on disk structure as early as possible. Change summary: - error propagation for direct IO failures fixes for both XFS and ext4 - new quota interfaces and XFS implementation for iterating all the quota IDs in the filesystem - locking fixes for real-time device extent allocation - reduction of duplicate information in the xfs and vfs inode, saving roughly 100 bytes of memory per cached inode. - buffer flag cleanup - rework of the writepage code to use the generic write clustering mechanisms - several fixes for inode flag based DAX enablement - rework of remount option parsing - compile time verification of on-disk format structure sizes - delayed allocation reservation overrun fixes - lots of little error handling fixes - small memory leak fixes - enable xfsaild freezing again" * tag 'xfs-for-linus-4.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dgc/linux-xfs: (66 commits) xfs: always set rvalp in xfs_dir2_node_trim_free xfs: ensure committed is initialized in xfs_trans_roll xfs: borrow indirect blocks from freed extent when available xfs: refactor delalloc indlen reservation split into helper xfs: update freeblocks counter after extent deletion xfs: debug mode forced buffered write failure xfs: remove impossible condition xfs: check sizes of XFS on-disk structures at compile time xfs: ioends require logically contiguous file offsets xfs: use named array initializers for log item dumping xfs: fix computation of inode btree maxlevels xfs: reinitialise per-AG structures if geometry changes during recovery xfs: remove xfs_trans_get_block_res xfs: fix up inode32/64 (re)mount handling xfs: fix format specifier , should be %llx and not %llu xfs: sanitize remount options xfs: convert mount option parsing to tokens xfs: fix two memory leaks in xfs_attr_list.c error paths xfs: XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX limited by PAGE_SIZE xfs: dynamically switch modes when XFS_DIFLAG2_DAX is set/cleared ...

2016-02-27dax: move writeback calls into the filesystemsRoss Zwisler
Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems (ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time files. Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem ->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response to sync(2).

2016-02-27dax: give DAX clearing code correct bdevRoss Zwisler
dax_clear_blocks() needs a valid struct block_device and previously it was using inode->i_sb->s_bdev in all cases. This is correct for normal inodes on mounted ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time devices. Instead, rename dax_clear_blocks() to dax_clear_sectors(), and change its arguments to take a bdev and a sector instead of an inode and a block. This better reflects what the function does, and it allows the filesystem and raw block device code to pass in an appropriate struct block_device.

2016-01-22dax: never rely on bh.b_dev being set by get_block()Ross Zwisler
Previously in DAX we assumed that calls to get_block() would set bh.b_bdev, and we would then use that value even in error cases for debugging. This caused a NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg() which was fixed by a previous commit, but that commit only changed the one place where we were hitting an error. Instead, update dax.c so that we always initialize bh.b_bdev as best we can based on the information that DAX has. get_block() may or may not update to a new value, but this at least lets us get something helpful from bh.b_bdev for error messages and not have to worry about whether it was set by get_block() or not.

2016-01-22dax: add support for fsync/syncRoss Zwisler
To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand. The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

2016-01-22dax: fix conversion of holes to PMDsRoss Zwisler
When we get a DAX PMD fault for a write it is possible that there could be some number of 4k zero pages already present for the same range that were inserted to service reads from a hole. These 4k zero pages need to be unmapped from the VMAs and removed from the struct address_space radix tree before the real DAX PMD entry can be inserted. For PTE faults this same use case also exists and is handled by a combination of unmap_mapping_range() to unmap the VMAs and delete_from_page_cache() to remove the page from the address_space radix tree. For PMD faults we do have a call to unmap_mapping_range() (protected by a buffer_new() check), but nothing clears out the radix tree entry. The buffer_new() check is also incorrect as the current ext4 and XFS filesystem code will never return a buffer_head with BH_New set, even when allocating new blocks over a hole. Instead the filesystem will zero the blocks manually and return a buffer_head with only BH_Mapped set. Fix this situation by removing the buffer_new() check and adding a call to truncate_inode_pages_range() to clear out the radix tree entries before we insert the DAX PMD.

2016-01-22dax: fix NULL pointer dereference in __dax_dbg()Ross Zwisler
In __dax_pmd_fault() we currently assume that get_block() will always set bh.b_bdev and we unconditionally dereference it in __dax_dbg(). This assumption isn't always true - when called for reads of holes ext4_dax_mmap_get_block() returns a buffer head where bh->b_bdev is never set. I hit this BUG while testing the DAX PMD fault path. Instead, initialize bh.b_bdev before passing bh into get_block(). It is possible that the filesystem's get_block() will update bh.b_bdev, and this is fine - we just want to initialize bh.b_bdev to something reasonable so that the calls to __dax_dbg() work and print something useful.

2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce pfn_tDan Williams
For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via the same memory controller as ram. The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA (i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However, we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time.

2016-01-15dax: Split pmd map when fallback on COWToshi Kani
An infinite loop of PMD faults was observed when attempted to mlock() a private read-only PMD mmap'd range of a DAX file. __dax_pmd_fault() simply returns with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK when falling back to PTE on COW. However, __handle_mm_fault() returns without falling back to handle_pte_fault() because a PMD map is present in this case. Change __dax_pmd_fault() to split the PMD map, if present, before returning with VM_FAULT_FALLBACK.

2016-01-15dax: fix lifetime of in-kernel dax mappings with dax_map_atomic()Dan Williams
The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access() and usage of its return value against the driver for the underlying block device being disabled. Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to hold off blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or otherwise fail new mapping requests if the request_queue is being torn down. This also introduces blk_dax_ctl to simplify the interface from fs/dax.c through dax_map_atomic() to bdev_direct_access().

2016-01-15pmem, dax: clean up clear_pmem()Dan Williams
To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory, PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into userspace). This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings to be the target of direct-i/o. It allows userspace to coordinate DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory. The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into 4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned and dynamically mapped by a device driver. The pmem driver, after mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type. The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new _PAGE_DEVMAP flag. Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active. Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references against the device driver established page mapping. Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires memory capacity to store the memmap array. Given the memmap array for a large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory. The new "struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page allocator. This patch (of 25): Both __dax_pmd_fault, and clear_pmem() were taking special steps to clear memory a page at a time to take advantage of non-temporal clear_page() implementations. However, x86_64 does not use non-temporal instructions for clear_page(), and arch_clear_pmem() was always incurring the cost of __arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Clean up the assumption that doing clear_pmem() a page at a time is more performant.

PTE mappings do not suffer the same fate since they have the _PAGE_SPECIAL flag to cause the gup path to fault. We can do something similar for the PMD path, or otherwise defer pmd support for cases where a struct page is available. For now, 4.4-rc and -stable need to disable dax pmd support by default.

2015-11-03xfs: Don't use unwritten extents for DAXDave Chinner
DAX has a page fault serialisation problem with block allocation. Because it allows concurrent page faults and does not have a page lock to serialise faults to the same page, it can get two concurrent faults to the page that race. When two read faults race, this isn't a huge problem as the data underlying the page is not changing and so "detect and drop" works just fine. The issues are to do with write faults. When two write faults occur, we serialise block allocation in get_blocks() so only one faul will allocate the extent. It will, however, be marked as an unwritten extent, and that is where the problem lies - the DAX fault code cannot differentiate between a block that was just allocated and a block that was preallocated and needs zeroing. The result is that both write faults end up zeroing the block and attempting to convert it back to written. The problem is that the first fault can zero and convert before the second fault starts zeroing, resulting in the zeroing for the second fault overwriting the data that the first fault wrote with zeros. The second fault then attempts to convert the unwritten extent, which is then a no-op because it's already written. Data loss occurs as a result of this race. Because there is no sane locking construct in the page fault code that we can use for serialisation across the page faults, we need to ensure block allocation and zeroing occurs atomically in the filesystem. This means we can still take concurrent page faults and the only time they will serialise is in the filesystem mapping/allocation callback. The page fault code will always see written, initialised extents, so we will be able to remove the unwritten extent handling from the DAX code when all filesystems are converted.

2015-09-15dax: fix O_DIRECT I/O to the last block of a blockdevJeff Moyer
commit bbab37ddc20b (block: Add support for DAX reads/writes to block devices) caused a regression in mkfs.xfs. That utility sets the block size of the device to the logical block size using the BLKBSZSET ioctl, and then issues a single sector read from the last sector of the device. This results in the dax_io code trying to do a page-sized read from 512 bytes from the end of the device. The result is -ERANGE being returned to userspace. The fix is to align the block to the page size before calling get_block. Thanks to willy for simplifying my original patch.

As part of the v4.3 merge window the DAX code was updated by Matthew and Kirill to handle PMD pages. Also as part of the v4.3 merge window we updated the DAX code to do proper PMEM flushing (commit 2765cfbb342c: "dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing"). The additional code added by the DAX PMD patches also needs to be updated to properly use the PMEM API. This ensures that after a PMD fault is handled the zeros written to the newly allocated pages are durable on the DIMMs. linux/dax.h is included to get rid of a bunch of sparse warnings.

If two threads write-fault on the same hole at the same time, the winner of the race will return to userspace and complete their store, only to have the loser overwrite their store with zeroes. Fix this for now by taking the i_mmap_sem for write instead of read, and do so outside the call to get_block(). Now the loser of the race will see the block has already been zeroed, and will not zero it again. This severely limits our scalability.

The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...

2015-07-29xfs: call dax_fault on read page faults for DAXDave Chinner
When modifying the patch series to handle the XFS MMAP_LOCK nesting of page faults, I botched the conversion of the read page fault path, and so it is only every calling through the page cache. Re-add the necessary __dax_fault() call for such files. Because the get_blocks callback on read faults may not set up the mapping buffer correctly to allow unwritten extent completion to be run, we need to allow callers of __dax_fault() to pass a null complete_unwritten() callback. The DAX code always zeros the unwritten page when it is read faulted so there are no stale data exposure issues with not doing the conversion. The only downside will be the potential for increased CPU overhead on repeated read faults of the same page. If this proves to be a problem, then the filesystem needs to fix it's get_block callback and provide a convert_unwritten() callback to the read fault path.
