Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size.
The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that
written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides
introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file
fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached
relative to the available writeback bandwidth.
This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to
override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned
XFS.
- Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting
for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the
starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore.
- Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk
Cleanups:
- filemap_* writeback interface cleanups.
Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but
the original btrfs caller should be using better high level
interfaces instead.
This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs
to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level
interfaces. With this the writeback_control that is passed to the
writeback code is only initialized in three places.
- Remove __filemap_fdatawrite, __filemap_fdatawrite_range, and
filemap_fdatawrite_wbc
- Add filemap_flush_nr helper for btrfs
- Push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes in btrfs
- Rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range
- Stop opencoding filemap_fdatawrite_range in 9p, ocfs2, and mm
- Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs"

1. inode_bit_waitqueue() was somehow placed between __inode_add_lru() and
inode_add_lru(). move it up
2. assert ->i_lock is held in __inode_add_lru instead of just claiming it is
needed
3. s/__inode_add_lru/__inode_lru_list_add/ for consistency with itself
(inode_lru_list_del()) and similar routines for sb and io list
management
4. push list presence check into inode_lru_list_del(), just like sb and

sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs)
When a writeback work lasts for sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs, we want
to identify that there are tasks waiting for a long time-this helps us
pinpoint potential issues.
Additionally, recording the starting jiffies is useful when debugging a
crashed vmcore.

Writing back a large number of pages can take a lots of time.
This issue is exacerbated when the underlying device is slow or
subject to block layer rate limiting, which in turn triggers
unexpected hung task warnings.
We can trigger a wake-up once a chunk has been written back and the
waiting time for writeback exceeds half of
sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs.
This action allows the hung task detector to be aware of the writeback
progress, thereby eliminating these unexpected hung task warnings.
This patch has passed the xfstests 'check -g quick' test based on ext4,
with no additional failures introduced.

Pull vfs writeback updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains work adressing lockups reported by users when a systemd
unit reading lots of files from a filesystem mounted with the lazytime
mount option exits.
With the lazytime mount option enabled we can be switching many dirty
inodes on cgroup exit to the parent cgroup. The numbers observed in
practice when systemd slice of a large cron job exits can easily reach
hundreds of thousands or millions.
The logic in inode_do_switch_wbs() which sorts the inode into
appropriate place in b_dirty list of the target wb however has linear
complexity in the number of dirty inodes thus overall time complexity
of switching all the inodes is quadratic leading to workers being
pegged for hours consuming 100% of the CPU and switching inodes to the
parent wb.
Simple reproducer of the issue:
FILES=10000
# Filesystem mounted with lazytime mount option
MNT=/mnt/
echo "Creating files and switching timestamps"
for (( j = 0; j < 50; j ++ )); do
mkdir $MNT/dir$j

# Now rmdir the cgroup after the script exits
This can be solved by:
- Avoiding contention on the wb->list_lock when switching inodes by
running a single work item per wb and managing a queue of items
switching to the wb
- Allowing rescheduling when switching inodes over to a different
cgroup to avoid softlockups
- Maintaining the b_dirty list ordering instead of sorting it"

Pull vfs workqueue updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains various workqueue changes affecting the filesystem
layer.
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work()
the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies
to schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that
makes use again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This replaces the use of system_wq and system_unbound_wq. system_wq is
a per-CPU workqueue which isn't very obvious from the name and
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
So this renames system_wq to system_percpu_wq, and system_unbound_wq
to system_dfl_wq.
This also adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to allow the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of per-CPU behavior. Both WQ_UNBOUND and
WQ_PERCPU flags coexist for one release cycle to allow callers to
transition their calls. WQ_UNBOUND will be removed in a next release
cycle"

Pull vfs inode updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a series I originally wrote and that Eric brought over
the finish line. It moves out the i_crypt_info and i_verity_info
pointers out of 'struct inode' and into the fs-specific part of the
inode.
So now the few filesytems that actually make use of this pay the price
in their own private inode storage instead of forcing it upon every
user of struct inode.
The pointer for the crypt and verity info is simply found by storing
an offset to its address in struct fsverity_operations and struct
fscrypt_operations. This shrinks struct inode by 16 bytes.
I hope to move a lot more out of it in the future so that struct inode
becomes really just about very core stuff that we need, much like
struct dentry and struct file, instead of the dumping ground it has
become over the years.
On top of this are a various changes associated with the ongoing inode
lifetime handling rework that multiple people are pushing forward:
- Stop accessing inode->i_count directly in f2fs and gfs2. They
simply should use the __iget() and iput() helpers
- Make the i_state flags an enum
- Rework the iput() logic
Currently, if we are the last iput, and we have the I_DIRTY_TIME
bit set, we will grab a reference on the inode again and then mark
it dirty and then redo the put. This is to make sure we delay the
time update for as long as possible
We can rework this logic to simply dec i_count if it is not 1, and
if it is do the time update while still holding the i_count
reference
Then we can replace the atomic_dec_and_lock with locking the
->i_lock and doing atomic_dec_and_test, since we did the
atomic_add_unless above
- Add an icount_read() helper and convert everyone that accesses
inode->i_count directly for this purpose to use the helper
- Expand dump_inode() to dump more information about an inode helping
in debugging
- Add some might_sleep() annotations to iput() and associated
helpers"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add "initramfs_options" parameter to set initramfs mount options.
This allows to add specific mount options to the rootfs to e.g.,
limit the memory size
- Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2()
Add RWF_NOSIGNAL flag for pwritev2. This flag prevents the SIGPIPE
signal from being raised when writing on disconnected pipes or
sockets. The flag is handled directly by the pipe filesystem and
converted to the existing MSG_NOSIGNAL flag for sockets
- Allow to pass pid namespace as procfs mount option
Ever since the introduction of pid namespaces, procfs has had very
implicit behaviour surrounding them (the pidns used by a procfs
mount is auto-selected based on the mounting process's active
pidns, and the pidns itself is basically hidden once the mount has
been constructed)
This implicit behaviour has historically meant that userspace was
required to do some special dances in order to configure the pidns
of a procfs mount as desired. Examples include:
* In order to bypass the mnt_too_revealing() check, Kubernetes
creates a procfs mount from an empty pidns so that user
namespaced containers can be nested (without this, the nested
containers would fail to mount procfs)
But this requires forking off a helper process because you cannot
just one-shot this using mount(2)
* Container runtimes in general need to fork into a container
before configuring its mounts, which can lead to security issues
in the case of shared-pidns containers (a privileged process in
the pidns can interact with your container runtime process)
While SUID_DUMP_DISABLE and user namespaces make this less of an
issue, the strict need for this due to a minor uAPI wart is kind
of unfortunate
Things would be much easier if there was a way for userspace to
just specify the pidns they want. So this pull request contains
changes to implement a new "pidns" argument which can be set
using fsconfig(2):
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
Cleanups:

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This patch adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to all the fs subsystem users to
explicitly request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist
for one release cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
All existing users have been updated accordingly.

We need to maintain b_dirty list ordering to keep writeback happy so
instead of sorting inode into appropriate place just append it at the
end of the list and clobber dirtied_time_when. This may result in inode
writeback starting later after cgroup switch however cgroup switches are
rare so it shouldn't matter much. Since the cgroup had write access to
the inode, there are no practical concerns of the possible DoS issues.

process_inode_switch_wbs_work() can be switching over 100 inodes to a
different cgroup. Since switching an inode requires counting all dirty &
under-writeback pages in the address space of each inode, this can take
a significant amount of time. Add a possibility to reschedule after
processing each inode to avoid softlockups.

There can be multiple inode switch works that are trying to switch
inodes to / from the same wb. This can happen in particular if some
cgroup exits which owns many (thousands) inodes and we need to switch
them all. In this case several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances will
be just spinning on the same wb->list_lock while only one of them makes
forward progress. This wastes CPU cycles and quickly leads to softlockup
reports and unusable system.
Instead of running several inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() instances in
parallel switching to the same wb and contending on wb->list_lock, run
just one work item per wb and manage a queue of isw items switching to
this wb.

Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().
Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.
Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.
No functional changes. Only compile tested.

When deactivating any type of superblock, it had to wait for the in-flight
wb switches to be completed. wb switches are executed in inode_switch_wbs_work_fn()
which needs to acquire the wb_switch_rwsem and races against sync_inodes_sb().
If there are too much dirty data in the superblock, the waiting time may increase
significantly.
For superblocks without cgroup writeback such as tmpfs, they have nothing to
do with the wb swithes, so the flushing can be avoided.

In kupdate writeback, only expired inode (have been dirty for longer than
dirty_expire_interval) is supposed to be written back. However, kupdate
writeback will writeback non-expired inode left in b_io or b_more_io from
last wb_writeback. As a result, writeback will keep being triggered
unexpected when we keep dirtying pages even dirty memory is under
threshold and inode is not expired. To be more specific:
Assume dirty background threshold is > 1G and dirty_expire_centisecs is
> 60s. When we running fio -size=1G -invalidate=0 -ioengine=libaio
--time_based -runtime=60... (keep dirtying), the writeback will keep
being triggered as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_background_flush
/*
* Wb dirty background threshold starts at 0 if device was idle and
* grows up when bandwidth of wb is updated. So a background
* writeback is triggered.
*/
wb_over_bg_thresh
/*
* Dirtied inode will be written back and added to b_more_io list
* after slice used up (because we keep dirtying the inode).
*/
wb_writeback
Writeback is triggered per dirty_writeback_centisecs as following:
wb_workfn
wb_do_writeback
wb_check_old_data_flush
/*
* Write back inode left in b_io and b_more_io from last wb_writeback
* even the inode is non-expired and it will be added to b_more_io
* again as slice will be used up (because we keep dirtying the
* inode)
*/
wb_writeback
Fix this by moving non-expired inode to dirty list instead of more io
list for kupdate writeback in requeue_inode.
Test as following:
/* make it more easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* create a idle device */
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
/* run buffer write with fio */
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=800M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=60 -invalidate=0
Fio result before fix (run three tests):
1360MB/s
1329MB/s
1455MB/s

Move the resource pinning-for-writeback from fscache code to netfslib code.
This is used to keep a cache backing object pinned whilst we have dirty
pages on the netfs inode in the pagecache such that VM writeback will be
able to reach it.
Whilst we're at it, switch the parameters of netfs_unpin_writeback() to
match ->write_inode() so that it can be used for that directly.
Note that this mechanism could be more generically useful than that for
network filesystems. Quite often they have to keep around other resources
(e.g. authentication tokens or network connections) until the writeback is
complete.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual miscellaneous features, cleanups, and fixes
for vfs and individual fses.
Features:
- Rename and export helpers that get write access to a mount. They
are used in overlayfs to get write access to the upper mount.
- Print the pretty name of the root device on boot failure. This
helps in scenarios where we would usually only print
"unknown-block(1,2)".
- Add an internal SB_I_NOUMASK flag. This is another part in the
endless POSIX ACL saga in a way.
When POSIX ACLs are enabled via SB_POSIXACL the vfs cannot strip
the umask because if the relevant inode has POSIX ACLs set it might
take the umask from there. But if the inode doesn't have any POSIX
ACLs set then we apply the umask in the filesytem itself. So we end
up with:
(1) no SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in vfs
(2) SB_POSIXACL -> strip umask in filesystem
The umask semantics associated with SB_POSIXACL allowed filesystems
that don't even support POSIX ACLs at all to raise SB_POSIXACL
purely to avoid umask stripping. That specifically means NFS v4 and
Overlayfs. NFS v4 does it because it delegates this to the server
and Overlayfs because it needs to delegate umask stripping to the
upper filesystem, i.e., the filesystem used as the writable layer.
This went so far that SB_POSIXACL is raised eve on kernels that
don't even have POSIX ACL support at all.
Stop this blatant abuse and add SB_I_NOUMASK which is an internal
superblock flag that filesystems can raise to opt out of umask
handling. That should really only be the two mentioned above. It's
not that we want any filesystems to do this. Ideally we have all
umask handling always in the vfs.
- Make overlayfs use SB_I_NOUMASK too.
- Now that we have SB_I_NOUMASK, stop checking for SB_POSIXACL in
IS_POSIXACL() if the kernel doesn't have support for it. This is a
very old patch but it's only possible to do this now with the wider
cleanup that was done.
- Follow-up work on fake path handling from last cycle. Citing mostly
from Amir:
When overlayfs was first merged, overlayfs files of regular files
and directories, the ones that are installed in file table, had a
"fake" path, namely, f_path is the overlayfs path and f_inode is
the "real" inode on the underlying filesystem.
In v6.5, we took another small step by introducing of the
backing_file container and the file_real_path() helper. This change
allowed vfs and filesystem code to get the "real" path of an
overlayfs backing file. With this change, we were able to make
fsnotify work correctly and report events on the "real" filesystem
objects that were accessed via overlayfs.
This method works fine, but it still leaves the vfs vulnerable to
new code that is not aware of files with fake path. A recent
example is commit db1d1e8b9867 ("IMA: use vfs_getattr_nosec to get
the i_version"). This commit uses direct referencing to f_path in
IMA code that otherwise uses file_inode() and file_dentry() to
reference the filesystem objects that it is measuring.
This contains work to switch things around: instead of having
filesystem code opt-in to get the "real" path, have generic code
opt-in for the "fake" path in the few places that it is needed.
Is it far more likely that new filesystems code that does not use
the file_dentry() and file_real_path() helpers will end up causing
crashes or averting LSM/audit rules if we keep the "fake" path
exposed by default.
This change already makes file_dentry() moot, but for now we did
not change this helper just added a WARN_ON() in ovl_d_real() to
catch if we have made any wrong assumptions.
After the dust settles on this change, we can make file_dentry() a
plain accessor and we can drop the inode argument to ->d_real().
- Switch struct file to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This looks like a small
change but it really isn't and I would like to see everyone on
their tippie toes for any possible bugs from this work.
Essentially we've been doing most of what SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for
files since a very long time because of the nasty interactions
between the SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor garbage collection. So
extending it makes a lot of sense but it is a subtle change. There
are almost no places that fiddle with file rcu semantics directly
and the ones that did mess around with struct file internal under
rcu have been made to stop doing that because it really was always
dodgy.
I forgot to put in the link tag for this change and the discussion
in the commit so adding it into the merge message:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230926162228.68666-1-mjguzik@gmail.com
Cleanups:
- Various smaller pipe cleanups including the removal of a spin lock
that was only used to protect against writes without pipe_lock()
from O_NOTIFICATION_PIPE aka watch queues. As that was never
implemented remove the additional locking from pipe_write().
- Annotate struct watch_filter with the new __counted_by attribute.
- Clarify do_unlinkat() cleanup so that it doesn't look like an extra
iput() is done that would cause issues.
- Simplify file cleanup when the file has never been opened.
- Use module helper instead of open-coding it.
- Predict error unlikely for stale retry.
- Use WRITE_ONCE() for mount expiry field instead of just commenting
that one hopes the compiler doesn't get smart.
Fixes:
- Fix readahead on block devices.
- Fix writeback when layztime is enabled and inodes whose timestamp
is the only thing that changed reside on wb->b_dirty_time. This
caused excessively large zombie memory cgroup when lazytime was
enabled as such inodes weren't handled fast enough.

The cgwb cleanup routine will try to release the dying cgwb by switching
the attached inodes. It fetches the attached inodes from wb->b_attached
list, omitting the fact that inodes only with dirty timestamps reside in
wb->b_dirty_time list, which is the case when lazytime is enabled. This
causes enormous zombie memory cgroup when lazytime is enabled, as inodes
with dirty timestamps can not be switched to a live cgwb for a long time.
It is reasonable not to switch cgwb for inodes with dirty data, as
otherwise it may break the bandwidth restrictions. However since the
writeback of inode metadata is not accounted for, let's also switch
inodes with dirty timestamps to avoid zombie memory and block cgroups
when laztytime is enabled.

When writing back an inode and performing an fsync on it concurrently, a
deadlock issue may arise as shown below. In each writeback iteration, a
clean inode is requeued to the wb->b_dirty queue due to non-zero
pages_skipped, without anything actually being written. This causes an
infinite loop and prevents the plug from being flushed, resulting in a
deadlock. We now avoid requeuing the clean inode to prevent this issue.

Patch series "cgroup: eliminate atomic rstat flushing", v5.
A previous patch series [1] changed most atomic rstat flushing contexts to
become non-atomic. This was done to avoid an expensive operation that
scales with # cgroups and # cpus to happen with irqs disabled and
scheduling not permitted. There were two remaining atomic flushing
contexts after that series. This series tries to eliminate them as well,
eliminating atomic rstat flushing completely.
The two remaining atomic flushing contexts are:
(a) wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
(b) mem_cgroup_threshold()->mem_cgroup_usage()
For (a), flushing needs to be atomic as wb_writeback() calls
wb_over_bg_thresh() with a spinlock held. However, it seems like the call
to wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't need to be protected by that spinlock, so
this series proposes a refactoring that moves the call outside the lock
criticial section and makes the stats flushing in mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
non-atomic.
For (b), flushing needs to be atomic as mem_cgroup_threshold() is called
with irqs disabled. We only flush the stats when calculating the root
usage, as it is approximated as the sum of some memcg stats (file, anon,
and optionally swap) instead of the conventional page counter. This
series proposes changing this calculation to use the global stats instead,
eliminating the need for a memcg stat flush.
After these 2 contexts are eliminated, we no longer need
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic() or cgroup_rstat_flush_atomic(). We can
remove them and simplify the code.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230330191801.1967435-1-yosryahmed@google.com/
This patch (of 5):
wb_over_bg_thresh() calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() which invokes an rstat
flush, which can be expensive on large systems. Currently,
wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() within a lock section, so we
have to do the rstat flush atomically. On systems with a lot of
cpus and/or cgroups, this can cause us to disable irqs for a long time,
potentially causing problems.
Move the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() outside the lock section in
preparation to make the rstat flush in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic.
The list_empty(&wb->work_list) check should be okay outside the lock
section of wb->list_lock as it is protected by a separate lock
(wb->work_lock), and wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't seem like it is
modifying any of wb->b_* lists the wb->list_lock is protecting.
Also, the loop seems to be already releasing and reacquring the
lock, so this refactoring looks safe.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() traverses &bdi->wb_list to split work into all
wbs. If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be
used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards.
If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference
count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or
wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above.
This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1). Both
sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue. For scenarios called via
sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c6e ("writeback: synchronize
sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the
possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see
fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from
inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io,
thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and the issue becomes easily reproducible again.
To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to
avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already
been shutdown.

In the past we had several use-after-free issues with inodes getting
added to writeback lists after evict() removed them. These are painful
to debug so add some asserts to catch the problem earlier. The only
non-obvious change in the commit is that we need to tweak
redirty_tail_locked() to avoid triggering assertion in
inode_io_list_move_locked().

After commit cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeback_single_inode can push inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happen after deletion of inode from i_io_list
at evict. Stack trace is following.
evict
fat_evict_inode
fat_truncate_blocks
fat_flush_inodes
writeback_inode
sync_inode_metadata(inode, sync=0)
writeback_single_inode(inode, wbc) <- wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
This will lead to use after free in flusher thread.
Similar issue can be triggered if writeback_single_inode in the
stack trace update inode->i_io_list. Add explicit check to avoid it.

Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME. That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
->dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.
The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.
Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.
Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.
Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.
Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands
and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.

We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing.
The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots
of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background
writeback cannot writeback the inode.
After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead
to the issue:
task1 task2
----- -----
fuse_flush
write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time
writeback_single_inode
__writeback_single_inode
fuse_write_end
filemap_dirty_folio
__xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
lock inode->i_lock
if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES
unlock inode->i_lock
__mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES
lock inode->i_lock
-was dirty,inode stays in
-b_dirty_time
unlock inode->i_lock
if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All))
-not true,so nothing done
This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode
currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of
writeback_single_inode.

PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8ed5 ("mm:
vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim").
Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()"
deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which
took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE. But if you study the old logic, and the
conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that
flag and function have been pointless for a decade.

inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is
congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns
'false'.
So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call
sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.

Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
"This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.
The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.
The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
documentation.
[!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
merge window.
WHY REWRITE?
============
Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.
With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
upon completion.
Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
first.
These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
simplify the indexing structure.
I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
"afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.
I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.
These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
be in use by two drivers at once.
ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
======================
There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
series from being usable:
(1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
filesystems.
Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...
(2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
track its contents.
The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
careful.
However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
things - which brings me on to (3)...
(3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
addressed.
BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
==============================
There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:
(1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
(e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
prevent accidental data corruption.
I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.
Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
being rmdir-able).
(2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being
done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will
oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to
access current->fs or suchlike.
To get around this, I added the following:
(A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network
filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the
cookie caching that inode.
(B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that
is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty
page from i_pages - at which point it clears
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB
can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set,
sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to
pin the cache resources.
(D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by
->write_inode() to unuse the cookie.
(E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when
the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This
cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the
cache as well as to the server.
For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that
should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the
dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and
is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since
it deals with pages"

Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it. However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.
To get around this, I added the following:
(1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
that inode.
(2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
resources.
(4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
to unuse the cookie.
(5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This cleans up any
lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that

As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.
In this case these are not actually dynamic sizes: all the operands
involved in the calculation are constant values. However it is better to
refactor them anyway, just to keep the open-coded math idiom out of
code.
So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() functions.
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty
pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than
just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty
pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also
cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so
remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg
stats.

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback(). However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g. from fsync(2). Make sure writeback estimates happen

Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4.
Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing
writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g.
generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as
a result writeback on the device is practically stalled.
The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches
are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code.
This patch (of 4):
Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure.
We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate
its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under
writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter
reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too
expensive.

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.
This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are
never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.
Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.

Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to
the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup
writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups,
which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu
statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different
scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups.
Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode
detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single
operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct
inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every
switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would
be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as
a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This
allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however
prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively
blocking the frn switching.
A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not
enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in
a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a
new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in
other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future
an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback
structure at once. That means to switch an inode a separate
inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu
callback and work must be scheduled.
It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that
often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release
a writeback structure. To prepare for it, let's add a support for
switching multiple inodes at once.
Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context
will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers.
inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode.
To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's
list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all
inodes. wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once. Instead of calling
wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced
and used.

Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.
While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.
This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.

Inode's wb switching requires two steps divided by an RCU grace period.
It's currently implemented as an RCU callback inode_switch_wbs_rcu_fn(),
which schedules inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() as a work.
Switching to the rcu_work API allows to do the same in a cleaner and
slightly shorter form.

isw_nr_in_flight is used to determine whether the inode switch queue
should be flushed from the umount path. Currently it's increased after
grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work. It means the
umount path can walk past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active inode
references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount." message and
use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed).
Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with the
inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled.
The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered by
Jan Kara by looking into the code.

A full memory barrier is required between clearing SB_ACTIVE flag in
generic_shutdown_super() and checking isw_nr_in_flight in
cgroup_writeback_umount(), otherwise a new switch operation might be
scheduled after atomic_read(&isw_nr_in_flight) returned 0. This would
result in a non-flushed isw_wq, and a potential crash.

Patch series "cgroup, blkcg: prevent dirty inodes to pin dying memory cgroups", v9.
When an inode is getting dirty for the first time it's associated with a
wb structure (see __inode_attach_wb()). It can later be switched to
another wb (if e.g. some other cgroup is writing a lot of data to the
same inode), but otherwise stays attached to the original wb until being
reclaimed.
The problem is that the wb structure holds a reference to the original
memory and blkcg cgroups. So if an inode has been dirty once and later is
actively used in read-only mode, it has a good chance to pin down the
original memory and blkcg cgroups forever. This is often the case with
services bringing data for other services, e.g. updating some rpm
packages.
In the real life it becomes a problem due to a large size of the memcg
structure, which can easily be 1000x larger than an inode. Also a really
large number of dying cgroups can raise different scalability issues, e.g.
making the memory reclaim costly and less effective.
To solve the problem inodes should be eventually detached from the
corresponding writeback structure. It's inefficient to do it after every
writeback completion. Instead it can be done whenever the original memory
cgroup is offlined and writeback structure is getting killed. Scanning
over a (potentially long) list of inodes and detach them from the
writeback structure can take quite some time. To avoid scanning all
inodes, attached inodes are kept on a new list (b_attached). To make it
less noticeable to a user, the scanning and switching is performed from a
work context.
Big thanks to Jan Kara, Dennis Zhou, Hillf Danton and Tejun Heo for their
ideas and contribution to this patchset.
This patch (of 8):
If an inode's state has I_WILL_FREE flag set, the inode will be freed
soon, so there is no point in trying to switch the inode to a different
cgwb.
I_WILL_FREE was ignored since the introduction of the inode switching, so
it looks like it doesn't lead to any noticeable issues for a user. This
is why the patch is not intended for a stable backport.

The caller of wb_get_create() should pin the memcg, because
wb_get_create() relies on this guarantee. The rcu read lock
only can guarantee that the memcg css returned by css_from_id()
cannot be released, but the reference of the memcg can be zero.
rcu_read_lock()
memcg_css = css_from_id()
wb_get_create(memcg_css)
cgwb_create(memcg_css)
// css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1
css_get(memcg_css)
rcu_read_unlock()
Fix it by holding a reference to the css before calling
wb_get_create(). This is not a problem I encountered in the
real world. Just the result of a code review.

block_dump is an old debugging interface, one of it's functions is used
to print the information about who write which file on disk. If we
enable block_dump through /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and turn on debug log
level, we can gather information about write process name, target file
name and disk from kernel message. This feature is realized in
block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(), it print above information into kernel
message directly when marking inode dirty, so it is noisy and can easily
trigger log storm. At the same time, get the dentry refcount is also not
safe, we found it will lead to deadlock on ext4 file system with
data=journal mode.
After tracepoints has been introduced into the kernel, we got a
tracepoint in __mark_inode_dirty(), which is a better replacement of
block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(). The only downside is that it only trace
the inode number and not a file name, but it probably doesn't matter
because the original printed file name in block_dump is not accurate in
some cases, and we can still find it through the inode number and device
id. So this patch delete the dirting inode part of block_dump feature.

Improve some comments, and don't bother checking for the I_DIRTY_TIME
flag in the case where we just cleared it.
Also, warn if I_DIRTY_TIME and I_DIRTY_PAGES are passed to
__mark_inode_dirty() at the same time, as this case isn't handled.

->dirty_inode is now only called when I_DIRTY_INODE (I_DIRTY_SYNC and/or
I_DIRTY_DATASYNC) is set. However it may still be passed other dirty
flags at the same time, provided that these other flags happened to be
passed to __mark_inode_dirty() at the same time as I_DIRTY_INODE.
This doesn't make sense because there is no reason for filesystems to
care about these extra flags. Nor are filesystems notified about all
updates to these other flags.
Therefore, mask the flags before passing them to ->dirty_inode.
Also properly document ->dirty_inode in vfs.rst.

There is no need to call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates
(i.e. for __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_TIME)), since by the definition of
lazytime, filesystems must ignore these updates. Filesystems only need
to care about the updated timestamps when they expire.
Therefore, only call ->dirty_inode when I_DIRTY_INODE is set.

When lazytime is enabled and an inode is being written due to its
in-memory updated timestamps having expired, either due to a sync() or
syncfs() system call or due to dirtytime_expire_interval having elapsed,
the VFS needs to inform the filesystem so that the filesystem can copy
the inode's timestamps out to the on-disk data structures.
This is done by __writeback_single_inode() calling
mark_inode_dirty_sync(), which then calls ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC).
However, this occurs after __writeback_single_inode() has already
cleared the dirty flags from ->i_state. This causes two bugs:
- mark_inode_dirty_sync() redirties the inode, causing it to remain
dirty. This wastefully causes the inode to be written twice. But
more importantly, it breaks cases where sync_filesystem() is expected
to clean dirty inodes. This includes the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY
ioctl (as reported at
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200306004555.GB225345@gmail.com), as well
as possibly filesystem freezing (freeze_super()).
- Since ->i_state doesn't contain I_DIRTY_TIME when ->dirty_inode() is
called from __writeback_single_inode() for lazytime expiration,
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() ignores the notification. (XFS only cares about
lazytime expirations, and it assumes that i_state will contain
I_DIRTY_TIME during those.) Therefore, lazy timestamps aren't
persisted by sync(), syncfs(), or dirtytime_expire_interval on XFS.
Fix this by moving the call to mark_inode_dirty_sync() to earlier in
__writeback_single_inode(), before the dirty flags are cleared from
i_state. This makes filesystems be properly notified of the timestamp
expiration, and it avoids incorrectly redirtying the inode.
This fixes xfstest generic/580 (which tests
FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY) when run on ext4 or f2fs with lazytime
enabled. It also fixes the new lazytime xfstest I've proposed, which
reproduces the above-mentioned XFS bug
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210105005818.92978-1-ebiggers@kernel.org).
Alternatively, we could call ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC) directly. But
due to the introduction of I_SYNC_QUEUED, mark_inode_dirty_sync() is the
right thing to do because mark_inode_dirty_sync() now knows not to move
the inode to a writeback list if it is currently queued for sync.

The only use of I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE is to detect in
__writeback_single_inode() that inode got there because flush worker
decided it's time to writeback the dirty inode time stamps (either
because we are syncing or because of age). However we can detect this
directly in __writeback_single_inode() and there's no need for the
strange propagation with I_DIRTY_TIME_EXPIRE flag.

When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

Inode's i_io_list list head is used to attach inode to several different
lists - wb->{b_dirty, b_dirty_time, b_io, b_more_io}. When flush worker
prepares a list of inodes to writeback e.g. for sync(2), it moves inodes
to b_io list. Thus it is critical for sync(2) data integrity guarantees
that inode is not requeued to any other writeback list when inode is
queued for processing by flush worker. That's the reason why
writeback_single_inode() does not touch i_io_list (unless the inode is
completely clean) and why __mark_inode_dirty() does not touch i_io_list
if I_SYNC flag is set.
However there are two flaws in the current logic:
1) When inode has only I_DIRTY_TIME set but it is already queued in b_io
list due to sync(2), concurrent __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC)
can still move inode back to b_dirty list resulting in skipping
writeback of inode time stamps during sync(2).
2) When inode is on b_dirty_time list and writeback_single_inode() races
with __mark_inode_dirty() like:
writeback_single_inode() __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_PAGES)
inode->i_state |= I_SYNC
__writeback_single_inode()
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES;
if (inode->i_state & I_SYNC)
bail
if (!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_ALL))
- not true so nothing done
We end up with I_DIRTY_PAGES inode on b_dirty_time list and thus
standard background writeback will not writeback this inode leading to
possible dirty throttling stalls etc. (thanks to Martijn Coenen for this
analysis).
Fix these problems by tracking whether inode is queued in b_io or
b_more_io lists in a new I_SYNC_QUEUED flag. When this flag is set, we
know flush worker has queued inode and we should not touch i_io_list.
On the other hand we also know that once flush worker is done with the
inode it will requeue the inode to appropriate dirty list. When
I_SYNC_QUEUED is not set, __mark_inode_dirty() can (and must) move inode
to appropriate dirty list.

After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875
("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more
sense to treat them as writeback pages.
So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in
NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK.
A particular effect of this change is that when
wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter
will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no
longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do
about them anyway).
Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even
when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable
pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of
Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this
patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average.
Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics
virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as
zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this
counter no longer report it.

Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and
bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly
straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown
the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures
that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully
drained.
With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi
and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects
which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents
the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in
theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount
goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero,
release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister).
Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about
the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does
this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything
else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be
unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when
one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to
dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but
unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister()
called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*.
Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly
happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to
create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL.
This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent
them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is
tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage
stick is pulled.
The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device
while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering
several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

cgroup writeback tries to refresh the associated wb immediately if the
current wb is dead. This is to avoid keeping issuing IOs on the stale
wb after memcg - blkcg association has changed (ie. when blkcg got
disabled / enabled higher up in the hierarchy).
Unfortunately, the logic gets triggered spuriously on inodes which are
associated with dead cgroups. When the logic is triggered on dead
cgroups, the attempt fails only after doing quite a bit of work
allocating and initializing a new wb.
While c3aab9a0bd91 ("mm/filemap.c: don't initiate writeback if mapping
has no dirty pages") alleviated the issue significantly as it now only
triggers when the inode has dirty pages. However, the condition can
still be triggered before the inode is switched to a different cgroup
and the logic simply doesn't make sense.
Skip the immediate switching if the associated memcg is dying.

finish_writeback_work() reads @done->waitq after decrementing
@done->cnt. However, once @done->cnt reaches zero, @done may be freed
(from stack) at any moment and @done->waitq can contain something
unrelated by the time finish_writeback_work() tries to read it. This
led to the following crash.

trylock fail
As inode wb switching may make sync(2) miss some inodes, they're
synchronized using wb_switch_rwsem so that no wb switching happens
while sync(2) is in progress. In addition to synchronizing the actual
switching, the rwsem is also used to prevent queueing new switch
attempts while sync(2) is in progress. This is to avoid queueing too
many instances while the rwsem is held by sync(2). Unfortunately,
this is too agressive and can block wb switching for a long time if
sync(2) is frequent.
The goal is avoiding expolding the number of scheduled switches, not
avoiding scheduling anything. Let's use wb_switch_rwsem only for
synchronizing the actual switching and sync(2) and use
isw_nr_in_flight instead for limiting the maximum number of scheduled
switches. The limit is set to 1024 which should be more than enough
while still avoiding extreme situations.

switching
WB_FRN_TIME_CUT_DIV is used to tell the foreign inode detection logic
to ignore short writeback rounds to prevent getting confused by a
burst of short writebacks. The parameter is currently 2 meaning that
anything smaller than half of the running average writback duration
will be ignored.
This is unnecessarily aggressive. The detection logic uses 16 history
slots and is already reasonably protected against some short bursts
confusing it and the current parameter can lead to tens of seconds of
missed detection depending on the writeback pattern.
Let's change the parameter to 8, so that it only ignores writeback

wbc_account_io() collects information on cgroup ownership of writeback
pages to determine which cgroup should own the inode. Pages can stay
associated with dead memcgs but we want to avoid attributing IOs to

sync_inodes_sb() can race against cgwb (cgroup writeback) membership
switches and fail to writeback some inodes. For example, if an inode
switches to another wb while sync_inodes_sb() is in progress, the new
wb might not be visible to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() at all or the inode
might jump from a wb which hasn't issued writebacks yet to one which
already has.
This patch adds backing_dev_info->wb_switch_rwsem to synchronize cgwb
switch path against sync_inodes_sb() so that sync_inodes_sb() is
guaranteed to see all the target wbs and inodes can't jump wbs to
escape syncing.

Syzbot has reported that it can hit a NULL pointer dereference in
wb_workfn() due to wb->bdi->dev being NULL. This indicates that
wb_workfn() was called for an already unregistered bdi which should not
happen as wb_shutdown() called from bdi_unregister() should make sure
all pending writeback works are completed before bdi is unregistered.
Except that wb_workfn() itself can requeue the work with:
mod_delayed_work(bdi_wq, &wb->dwork, 0);
and if this happens while wb_shutdown() is waiting in:
flush_delayed_work(&wb->dwork);
the dwork can get executed after wb_shutdown() has finished and
bdi_unregister() has cleared wb->bdi->dev.
Make wb_workfn() use wakeup_wb() for requeueing the work which takes all
the necessary precautions against racing with bdi unregistration.

lock_page_memcg()/unlock_page_memcg() use spin_lock_irqsave/restore() if
the page's memcg is undergoing move accounting, which occurs when a
process leaves its memcg for a new one that has
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate set.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin,end() use spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq() if
the given inode is switching writeback domains. Switches occur when
enough writes are issued from a new domain.
This existing pattern is thus suspicious:
lock_page_memcg(page);
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin(inode, &locked);
...
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end(inode, locked);
unlock_page_memcg(page);
If both inode switch and process memcg migration are both in-flight then
unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() will unconditionally enable interrupts while
still holding the lock_page_memcg() irq spinlock. This suggests the
possibility of deadlock if an interrupt occurs before unlock_page_memcg().
truncate
__cancel_dirty_page
lock_page_memcg

unlocked_inode_to_wb_end
<interrupts mistakenly enabled>
<interrupt>
end_page_writeback
test_clear_page_writeback
lock_page_memcg
<deadlock>
unlock_page_memcg
Due to configuration limitations this deadlock is not currently possible
because we don't mix cgroup writeback (a cgroupv2 feature) and
memory.move_charge_at_immigrate (a cgroupv1 feature).
If the kernel is hacked to always claim inode switching and memcg
moving_account, then this script triggers lockup in less than a minute:
cd /mnt/cgroup/memory
mkdir a b
echo 1 > a/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
echo 1 > b/memory.move_charge_at_immigrate
(
echo $BASHPID > a/cgroup.procs
while true; do
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/big bs=1M count=256
done
) &
while true; do
sync
done &
sleep 1h &
SLEEP=$!
while true; do
echo $SLEEP > a/cgroup.procs
echo $SLEEP > b/cgroup.procs
done
The deadlock does not seem possible, so it's debatable if there's any
reason to modify the kernel. I suggest we should to prevent future
surprises. And Wang Long said "this deadlock occurs three times in our
environment", so there's more reason to apply this, even to stable.

Handle start-all writeback like we do periodic or kupdate
style writeback - by marking the bdi_writeback as needing a full
flush, and simply waking the thread. This eliminates the need to
allocate and queue a specific work item just for this purpose.
After this change, we truly only ever have one of them running at
any point in time. We mark the need to start all flushes, and the
writeback thread will clear it once it has processed the request.

When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or
wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty
pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we
can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at
least) two problems:
1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items.
We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items
pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage,
while the box is under memory pressure.
2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we
introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because
each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's
hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the
flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work
items and deleting/freeing them.
Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and
set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is
cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is
already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we
simply ignore it.
This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well,
and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.

Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold
various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those
which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin
with double underscore. However, they both end up calling
__add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is
already irq-safe.
Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since
they don't add any further protection than we already have.
Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly
without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better
runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters.

When WB_registered flag is not set, wb_queue_work() skips queuing the
work, but does not perform the necessary clean up. In particular, if
work->auto_free is true, it should free the memory.
The leak condition can be reprouced by following these steps:
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb
/* In qemu console: device_del sdb */
umount /dev/sdb
Above will result in a wb_queue_work() call on an unregistered wb and
thus leak memory.

I've found funny live-lock between raid10 barriers during resync and
memory controller hard limits. Inside mpage_readpages() task holds on to
its plug bio which blocks the barrier in raid10. Its memory cgroup have
no free memory thus the task goes into reclaimer but all reclaimable
pages are dirty and cannot be written because raid10 is rebuilding and
stuck on the barrier.
Common flush of such IO in schedule() never happens, because the caller
doesn't go to sleep.
Lock is 'live' because changing memory limit or killing tasks which
holds that stuck bio unblock whole progress.
That was what happened in 3.18.x but I see no difference in upstream
logic. Theoretically this might happen even without memory cgroup.

Currently we take care to handle I_DIRTY_TIME in vfs_fsync() and
queue_io() so that inodes which have only dirty timestamps are properly
written on fsync(2) and sync(2). However there are other call sites -
most notably going through write_inode_now() - which expect inode to be
clean after WB_SYNC_ALL writeback. This is not currently true as we do
not clear I_DIRTY_TIME in __writeback_single_inode() even for
WB_SYNC_ALL writeback in all the cases. This then resulted in the
following oops because bdev_write_inode() did not clean the inode and
writeback code later stumbled over a dirty inode with detached wb.

There are now a number of accounting oddities such as mapped file pages
being accounted for on the node while the total number of file pages are
accounted on the zone. This can be coped with to some extent but it's
confusing so this patch moves the relevant file-based accounted. Due to
throttling logic in the page allocator for reliable OOM detection, it is
still necessary to track dirty and writeback pages on a per-zone basis.

The per-sb inode writeback list tracks inodes currently under writeback
to facilitate efficient sync processing. In particular, it ensures that
sync only needs to walk through a list of inodes that were cleaned by
the sync.
Add a couple tracepoints to help identify when inodes are added/removed
to and from the writeback lists. Piggyback off of the writeback
lazytime tracepoint template as it already tracks the relevant inode
information.

wait_sb_inodes() currently does a walk of all inodes in the filesystem
to find dirty one to wait on during sync. This is highly inefficient
and wastes a lot of CPU when there are lots of clean cached inodes that
we don't need to wait on.
To avoid this "all inode" walk, we need to track inodes that are
currently under writeback that we need to wait for. We do this by
adding inodes to a writeback list on the sb when the mapping is first
tagged as having pages under writeback. wait_sb_inodes() can then walk
this list of "inodes under IO" and wait specifically just for the inodes
that the current sync(2) needs to wait for.
Define a couple helpers to add/remove an inode from the writeback list
and call them when the overall mapping is tagged for or cleared from
writeback. Update wait_sb_inodes() to walk only the inodes under
writeback due to the sync.
With this change, filesystem sync times are significantly reduced for
fs' with largely populated inode caches and otherwise no other work to
do. For example, on a 16xcpu 2GHz x86-64 server, 10TB XFS filesystem
with a ~10m entry inode cache, sync times are reduced from ~7.3s to less
than 0.1s when the filesystem is fully clean.

Asynchronous wb switching of inodes takes an additional ref count on an
inode to make sure inode remains valid until switchover is completed.
However, anyone calling ihold() must already have a ref count on inode,
but in this case inode->i_count may already be zero:

When writeback operation cannot make forward progress because memory
allocation requests needed for doing I/O cannot be satisfied (e.g.
under OOM-livelock situation), we can observe flood of order-0 page
allocation failure messages caused by complete depletion of memory
reserves.
This is caused by unconditionally allocating "struct wb_writeback_work"
objects using GFP_ATOMIC from PF_MEMALLOC context.
__alloc_pages_nodemask() {
__alloc_pages_slowpath() {
__alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() {
__perform_reclaim() {
current->flags |= PF_MEMALLOC;
try_to_free_pages() {
do_try_to_free_pages() {
wakeup_flusher_threads() {
wb_start_writeback() {
kzalloc(sizeof(*work), GFP_ATOMIC) {
/* ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via PF_MEMALLOC */
}
}
}
}
}
current->flags &= ~PF_MEMALLOC;
}
}
}
}
Since I/O is stalling, allocating writeback requests forever shall
deplete memory reserves. Fortunately, since wb_start_writeback() can
fall back to wb_wakeup() when allocating "struct wb_writeback_work"
failed, we don't need to allow wb_start_writeback() to use memory
reserves.

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.

When cgroup writeback is in use, there can be multiple wb's
(bdi_writeback's) per bdi and an inode may switch among them
dynamically. In a couple places, the wrong wb was used leading to
performing operations on the wrong list under the wrong lock
corrupting the io lists.
* writeback_single_inode() was taking @wb parameter and used it to
remove the inode from io lists if it becomes clean after writeback.
The callers of this function were always passing in the root wb
regardless of the actual wb that the inode was associated with,
which could also change while writeback is in progress.
Fix it by dropping the @wb parameter and using
inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock the associated wb.
* After writeback_sb_inodes() writes out an inode, it re-locks @wb and
inode to remove it from or move it to the right io list. It assumes
that the inode is still associated with @wb; however, the inode may
have switched to another wb while writeback was in progress.
Fix it by using inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock
the associated wb after writeback is complete. As the function
requires the original @wb->list_lock locked for the next iteration,
in the unlikely case where the inode has changed association, switch
the locks.
Kudos to Tahsin for pinpointing these subtle breakages.

locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() wb_get()'s the wb associated with
the target inode, unlocks inode, locks the wb's list_lock and verifies
that the inode is still associated with the wb. To prevent the wb
going away between dropping inode lock and acquiring list_lock, the wb
is pinned while inode lock is held. The wb reference is put right
after acquiring list_lock citing that the wb won't be dereferenced
anymore.
This isn't true. If the inode is still associated with the wb, the
inode has reference and it's safe to return the wb; however, if inode
has been switched, the wb still needs to be unlocked which is a
dereference and can lead to use-after-free if it it races with wb
destruction.
Fix it by putting the reference after releasing list_lock.

If cgroup writeback is in use, inodes can be scheduled for
asynchronous wb switching. Before 5ff8eaac1636 ("writeback: keep
superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches"), this
could race with umount leading to super_block being destroyed while
inodes are pinned for wb switching. 5ff8eaac1636 fixed it by bumping
s_active while wb switches are in flight; however, this allowed
in-flight wb switches to make umounts asynchronous when the userland
expected synchronosity - e.g. fsck immediately following umount may
fail because the device is still busy.
This patch removes the problematic super_block pinning and instead
makes generic_shutdown_super() flush in-flight wb switches. wb
switches are now executed on a dedicated isw_wq so that they can be
flushed and isw_nr_in_flight keeps track of the number of in-flight wb
switches so that flushing can be avoided in most cases.
v2: Move cgroup_writeback_umount() further below and add MS_ACTIVE
check in inode_switch_wbs() as Jan an Al suggested.

If cgroup writeback is in use, an inode is associated with a cgroup
for writeback. If the inode's main dirtier changes to another cgroup,
the association gets updated asynchronously. Nothing was pinning the
superblock while such switches are in progress and superblock could go
away while async switching is pending or in progress leading to
crashes like the following.

mem_cgroup_css_from_page()
In earlier versions, mem_cgroup_css_from_page() could return non-root
css on a legacy hierarchy which can go away and required rcu locking;
however, the eventual version simply returns the root cgroup if memcg is
on a legacy hierarchy and thus doesn't need rcu locking around or in it.
Remove spurious rcu lockings.

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to
complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during
writeback.
The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).
However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.
As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:
Application System admin
----------------------------------------------------------
write data on page cache
Run sync command
writeback completes with error
filemap_fdatawait() clears error
fsync returns success
(but the data is not on disk)
This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where
writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs()
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() uses list_for_each_entry_rcu_continue()
to walk @bdi->wb_list. To set up the initial iteration
condition, it uses list_entry_rcu() to calculate the entry
pointer corresponding to the list head; however, this isn't an
actual RCU dereference and using list_entry_rcu() for it ended
up breaking a proposed list_entry_rcu() change because it was
feeding an non-lvalue pointer into the macro.
Don't use the RCU variant for simple pointer offsetting. Use
list_entry() instead.

bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue
writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi.
The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the
tree only indexes wb's which are currently active.
For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the
old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed.
The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its
inodes are drained. As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes,
writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them.
bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and
failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's.
This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's
beloinging to that bdi. wb's are added on creation and removed on
release rather than on the start of destruction. bdi_for_each_wb()
usages are replaced with list_for_each[_continue]_rcu() iterations
over @bdi->wb_list and bdi_for_each_wb() and its helpers are removed.
v2: Updated as per Jan. last_wb ref leak in bdi_split_work_to_wbs()
fixed and unnecessary list head severing in cgwb_bdi_destroy()
removed.

Commit 505a666ee3fc ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes,
which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files
are written by the filesystem. It helps both on flash and spindles.
For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives,
this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling
cond_resched(). cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so
explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces
latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages.
It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means
less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.
Many more details about how we got here:

We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the
wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before
taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it. This does that.
Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is
comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock
around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits.
I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking
one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the
known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll
pick this cleanup version for now. But if the numbers show that we
really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we
should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

This reverts commit d353d7587d02116b9732d5c06615aed75a4d3a47.
Doing the block layer plug/unplug inside writeback_sb_inodes() is
broken, because that function is actually called with a spinlock held:
wb->list_lock, as pointed out by Chris Mason.
Chris suggested just dropping and re-taking the spinlock around the
blk_finish_plug() call (the plgging itself can happen under the
spinlock), and that would technically work, but is just disgusting.
We do something fairly similar - but not quite as disgusting because we
at least have a better reason for it - in writeback_single_inode(), so
it's not like the caller can depend on the lock being held over the
call, but in this case there just isn't any good reason for that
"release and re-take the lock" pattern.
[ In general, we should really strive to avoid the "release and retake"
pattern for locks, because in the general case it can easily cause
subtle bugs when the caller caches any state around the call that
might be invalidated by dropping the lock even just temporarily. ]
But in this case, the plugging should be easy to just move up to the
callers before the spinlock is taken, which should even improve the
effectiveness of the plug. So there is really no good reason to play
games with locking here.
I'll send off a test-patch so that Dave Chinner can verify that that
plug movement works. In the meantime this just reverts the problematic
commit and adds a comment to the function so that we hopefully don't
make this mistake again.

Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
"A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
while. This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup
changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.
Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:
- bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.
- Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.
- Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.
Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:
cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't
have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.
This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This
makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
implemented by cfq.
- Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.
- Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.
Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:
This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.
- alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped.
- alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.
- blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
allocation.
- all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
blkcg.
And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
handling:
blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset
tries to improve the situation a bit.
- The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps
colllecting common stats on bio issue.
- per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek.
- cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
implements custom per-cpu stats. This patchset make blkcg core
support both by default.
- cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
multiple times. Unify them"

* sync_inodes_sb() must write out I_DIRTY_TIME inodes but I_DIRTY_TIME
inodes dont't contribute to bdi/wb_has_dirty_io() tests and were
being skipped over.
* inodes are taken off wb->b_dirty/io/more_io lists after writeback
starts on them. sync_inodes_sb() skipping wait_sb_inodes() when
bdi_has_dirty_io() breaks it by making it return while writebacks
are in-flight.
This patch fixes the breakages by
* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
The callers are already testing the condition.
* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from sync_inodes_sb() so that
it always calls into bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and wait_sb_inodes().
* Making bdi_split_work_to_wbs() consider the b_dirty_time list for
WB_SYNC_ALL writebacks.

wb_writeback_work->single_wait/done are used for the wait mechanism
for synchronous wb_work (wb_writeback_work) items which are issued
when bdi_split_work_to_wbs() fails to allocate memory for asynchronous
wb_work items; however, there's no reason to use a separate wait
mechanism for this. bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can simply use on-stack
fallback wb_work item and separate wb_completion to wait for it.
This patch removes wb_work->single_wait/done and the related code and
make bdi_split_work_to_wbs() use on-stack fallback wb_work and

wb's (bdi_writeback's) are currently keyed by memcg ID; however, in an
earlier implementation, wb's were keyed by blkcg ID.
bdi_for_each_wb() walks bdi->cgwb_tree in the ascending ID order and
allows iterations to start from an arbitrary ID which is used to
interrupt and resume iterations.
Unfortunately, while changing wb to be keyed by memcg ID instead of
blkcg, bdi_for_each_wb() was missed and is still assuming that wb's
are keyed by blkcg ID. This doesn't affect iterations which don't get
interrupted but bdi_split_work_to_wbs() makes use of iteration
resuming on allocation failures and thus may incorrectly skip or
repeat wb's.
Fix it by changing bdi_for_each_wb() to take memcg IDs instead of
blkcg IDs and updating bdi_split_work_to_wbs() accordingly.

There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback
naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and
b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or
i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to
the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either
way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be
confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this!
So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can
add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to
walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes
that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple
wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the
the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide
slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and
burn more CPU than if they were serialised.
Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap
around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO
completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid
contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Doing writeback on lots of little files causes terrible IOPS storms
because of the per-mapping writeback plugging we do. This
essentially causes imeediate dispatch of IO for each mapping,
regardless of the context in which writeback is occurring.
IOWs, running a concurrent write-lots-of-small 4k files using fsmark
on XFS results in a huge number of IOPS being issued for data
writes. Metadata writes are sorted and plugged at a high level by
XFS, so aggregate nicely into large IOs. However, data writeback IOs
are dispatched in individual 4k IOs, even when the blocks of two
consecutively written files are adjacent.
Test VM: 8p, 8GB RAM, 4xSSD in RAID0, 100TB sparse XFS filesystem,
metadata CRCs enabled.
Kernel: 3.10-rc5 + xfsdev + my 3.11 xfs queue (~70 patches)
Test:
$ ./fs_mark -D 10000 -S0 -n 10000 -s 4096 -L 120 -d

If I use zero length files, this workload at about 500 IOPS, so
plugging drops the data IOs from roughly 25,500/s to 1000/s.

The benefits of plugging at this layer are likely to be higher for
spinning media as the IO patterns for this workload are going make a

Currently, even when a filesystem doesn't set the FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK
flag, if the filesystem uses wbc_init_bio() and wbc_account_io(), the
foreign inode detection and migration logic still ends up activating
cgroup writeback which is unexpected. This patch ensures that the
foreign inode detection logic stays disabled when inode_cgwb_enabled()
is false by not associating writeback_control's with bdi_writeback's.
This also avoids unnecessary operations in wbc_init_bio(),
wbc_account_io() and wbc_detach_inode() for filesystems which don't
support cgroup writeback.

For the purpose of foreign inode detection, wb's (bdi_writeback's) are
identified by the associated memcg ID. As we create a separate wb for
each memcg, this is enough to identify the active wb's; however, when
blkcg is enabled or disabled higher up in the hierarchy, the mapping
between memcg and blkcg changes which in turn creates a new wb to
service the new mapping. The old wb is unlinked from index and
released after all references are drained. The foreign inode
detection logic can't detect this condition because both the old and
new wb's point to the same memcg and thus never decides to move inodes
attached to the old wb to the new one.
This patch adds logic to initiate switching immediately in
wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode() if the associated wb is dying. We can
make the usual foreign detection logic to distinguish the different
wb's mapped to the memcg but the dying wb is never gonna be in active
service again and there's no point in tracking the usage history and
reaching the switch verdict after enough data points are collected.
It's already known that the wb has to be switched.

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 transfers the ownership to it. The previous patches
implemented the foreign condition detection mechanism and laid the
groundwork. This patch implements the actual switching.
With the previously implemented [unlocked_]inode_to_wb_and_list_lock()
and wb stat transaction, grabbing wb->list_lock, inode->i_lock and
mapping->tree_lock gives us full exclusion against all wb operations
on the target inode. inode_switch_wb_work_fn() grabs all the locks
and transfers the inode atomically along with its RECLAIMABLE and
WRITEBACK stats.

With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction. This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.
This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily. There are three
exceptions.
* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
wb may not be the inode's. Ensuring that is the function's role
after all. Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.
* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock(). Updated to deref inode->i_wb
directly.
* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
starting the transaction. Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
inode->i_wb directly.
v5: might_lock() removed. It annotates that the lock is grabbed w/
irq enabled which isn't the case and triggering lockdep warning
spuriously.
v4: might_lock() added to unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin().
v3: inode_congested() conversion added.
v2: locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() was missing in the first
version.

Similar to wb stat updates, inode_congested() accesses the associated
wb of an inode locklessly, which will break with foreign inode wb
switching. This path updates inode_congested() to use unlocked inode
wb access transaction introduced by the previous patch.
Combined with the previous two patches, this makes all wb list and
access operations to be protected by either of inode->i_lock,
wb->list_lock, or mapping->tree_lock while wb switching is in
progress.

updates
The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.
This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.
The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.
This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.
In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.
v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.
v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
Function names and comments updated accordingly.

cgroup writeback currently assumes that inode to wb association
doesn't change; however, with the planned foreign inode wb switching
mechanism, the association will change dynamically.
When an inode needs to be put on one of the IO lists of its wb, the
current code simply calls inode_to_wb() and locks the returned wb;
however, with the planned wb switching, the association may change
before locking the wb and may even get released.
This patch implements [locked_]inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() which pins
the associated wb while holding i_lock, releases it, acquires
wb->list_lock and verifies that the association hasn't changed
inbetween. As the association will be protected by both locks among
other things, this guarantees that the wb is the inode's associated wb
until the list_lock is released.

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.

__wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and
mm/page-writeback.c::wb_writeback(). The latter updates only the
write bandwidth while the former also deals with the dirty ratelimit.
The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is
zero or not, which is cryptic. In addition, the two files define
their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
__wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least. This
patch cleans up [__]wb_update_bandwidth() in the following ways.
* __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.
* mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
caller - balance_dirty_pages().
* fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.
* While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().
Except for the lockdep addition, this is pure reorganization and
doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.

This patch implements bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and use it to make these

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() takes a base wb_writeback_work and create
clones of it and issue them to the wb's of the target bdi. The base
work's nr_pages is distributed using wb_split_bdi_pages() -
ie. according to each wb's write bandwidth's proportion in the bdi.
Cloning a bdi involves memory allocation which may fail. In such
cases, bdi_split_work_to_wbs() issues the base work directly and waits
for its completion before proceeding to the next wb to guarantee
forward progress and correctness under memory pressure.

try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() wraps writeback_inodes_sb_nr() so that it
handles s_umount locking and skips if writeback is already in
progress. The in progress test is performed on the root wb
(bdi_writeback) which isn't sufficient for cgroup writeback support.
The test must be done per-wb.
To prepare for the change, this patch factors out
__writeback_inodes_sb_nr() from writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and adds
@skip_if_busy and moves the in progress test right before queueing the
wb_writeback_work. try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() now just grabs
s_umount and invokes __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() with asserted
@skip_if_busy. This way, later addition of multiple wb handling can
skip only the wb's which already have writeback in progress.
This swaps the order between in progress test and s_umount test which
can flip the return value when writeback is in progress and s_umount
is being held by someone else but this shouldn't cause any meaningful
difference. It's a fringe condition and the return value is an
unsynchronized hint anyway.

For cgroup writeback, multiple wb_writeback_work items may need to be
issuedto accomplish a single task. The previous patch updated the
waiting mechanism such that wb_wait_for_completion() can wait for
multiple work items.
Issuing mulitple work items involves memory allocation which may fail.
As most writeback operations can't fail or blocked on memory
allocation, in such cases, we'll fall back to sequential issuing of an
on-stack work item, which would need to be waited upon sequentially.
This patch implements wb_wait_for_single_work() which waits for a
single work item independently from wb_completion waiting so that such
fallback mechanism can be used without getting tangled with the usual
issuing / completion operation.

If the completion of a wb_writeback_work can be waited upon by setting
its ->done to a struct completion and waiting on it; however, for
cgroup writeback support, it's necessary to issue multiple work items
to multiple bdi_writebacks and wait for the completion of all.
This patch implements wb_completion which can wait for multiple work
items and replaces the struct completion with it. It can be defined
using DEFINE_WB_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(), used for multiple work items and
waited for by wb_wait_for_completion().
Nobody currently issues multiple work items and this patch doesn't
introduce any behavior changes.

Currently, a wb_writeback_work is freed automatically on completion if
it doesn't have ->done set. Add wb_writeback_work->auto_free to make
the switch explicit. This will help cgroup writeback support where
waiting for completion and whether to free automatically don't
necessarily move together.

wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() currently only starts writeback on the
root wb (bdi_writeback). For cgroup writeback support, update the
function to check all wbs.

wakeup_flusher_threads() currently only starts writeback on the root
wb (bdi_writeback). For cgroup writeback support, update the function
to wake up all wbs and distribute the number of pages to write
according to the proportion of each wb's write bandwidth, which is
implemented in wb_split_bdi_pages().
