fs: remove _submit_bh()

2017-04-27T03:54:06Z

_submit_bh() allowed submitting a buffer_head for I/O using custom bio_flags. It used to be used by jbd to set BIO_SNAP_STABLE, introduced by commit 713685111774 ("mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation"). However, the code and flag has since been removed and no _submit_bh() users remain. These days, bio_flags are mostly used internally by the block layer to track the state of bio's. As such, it doesn't really make sense for filesystems to use them instead of op_flags when wanting special behavior for block requests. Therefore, remove _submit_bh() and trim the bio_flags argument from submit_bh_wbc(). Cc: Darrick J. Wong Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Al Viro

mm: avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite handlers

2017-02-08T23:41:43Z

Some ->page_mkwrite handlers may return VM_FAULT_RETRY as its return code (GFS2 or Lustre can definitely do this). However VM_FAULT_RETRY from ->page_mkwrite is completely unhandled by the mm code and results in locking and writeably mapping the page which definitely is not what the caller wanted. Fix Lustre and block_page_mkwrite_ret() used by other filesystems (notably GFS2) to return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE instead which results in bailing out from the fault code, the CPU then retries the access, and we fault again effectively doing what the handler wanted.

fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh and use it

2016-11-04T20:34:47Z

Add a helper function that clears buffer heads from a block device aliasing passed bh. Use this helper function from filesystems instead of the original unmap_underlying_metadata() to save some boiler plate code and also have a better name for the functionalily since it is not unmapping anything for a *long* time.

fs: Provide function to unmap metadata for a range of blocks

2016-11-04T20:34:47Z

Provide function equivalent to unmap_underlying_metadata() for a range of blocks. We somewhat optimize the function to use pagevec lookups instead of looking up buffer heads one by one and use page lock to pin buffer heads instead of mapping's private_lock to improve scalability.

Merge branch 'for-4.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-07-26T22:03:07Z

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe: - the big change is the cleanup from Mike Christie, cleaning up our uses of command types and modified flags. This is what will throw some merge conflicts - regression fix for the above for btrfs, from Vincent - following up to the above, better packing of struct request from Christoph - a 2038 fix for blktrace from Arnd - a few trivial/spelling fixes from Bart Van Assche - a front merge check fix from Damien, which could cause issues on SMR drives - Atari partition fix from Gabriel - convert cfq to highres timers, since jiffies isn't granular enough for some devices these days. From Jan and Jeff - CFQ priority boost fix idle classes, from me - cleanup series from Ming, improving our bio/bvec iteration - a direct issue fix for blk-mq from Omar - fix for plug merging not involving the IO scheduler, like we do for other types of merges. From Tahsin - expose DAX type internally and through sysfs.

fs: export __block_write_full_page

2016-06-27T14:58:40Z

gfs2 needs to be able to skip the check to see if a page is outside of the file size when writing it out. gfs2 can get into a situation where it needs to flush its in-memory log to disk while a truncate is in progress. If the file being trucated has data journaling enabled, it is possible that there are data blocks in the log that are past the end of the file. gfs can't finish the log flush without either writing these blocks out or revoking them. Otherwise, if the node crashed, it could overwrite subsequent changes made by other nodes in the cluster when it's journal was replayed. Unfortunately, there is no way to add log entries to the log during a flush. So gfs2 simply writes out the page instead. This situation can only occur when the truncate code still has the file locked exclusively, and hasn't marked this block as free in the metadata (which happens later in truc_dealloc). After gfs2 writes this page out, the truncation code will shortly invalidate it and write out any revokes if necessary. In order to make this work, gfs2 needs to be able to skip the check for writes outside the file size. Since the check exists in block_write_full_page, this patch exports __block_write_full_page, which doesn't have the check. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Marzinski Signed-off-by: Bob Peterson

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros

2016-04-04T17:41:08Z

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: - << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> ; - 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. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
