mm: introduce get_user_pages_longterm

2018-02-28T09:18:33Z

commit 2bb6d2837083de722bfdc369cb0d76ce188dd9b4 upstream. Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2. Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to keep an elevated page count indefinitely. This is distinct from usages like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient. The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation completes (under kernel control). In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page reference at some undefined point in the future. This is untenable for filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait for pages in a mapping to become idle. Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for a later patch series. Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references. I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings were supported by the kernel. The behavior regression this policy change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled. Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting a filesystem in dax mode. It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same constraints since it does not support file space management operations like hole-punch. This patch (of 4): Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against filesytem-dax vmas. Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are explicitly allowed. This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease" mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and V4L2).

dax: provide an iomap based fault handler

2016-09-19T01:24:50Z

Very similar to the existing dax_fault function, but instead of using the get_block callback we rely on the iomap_ops vector from iomap.c. That also avoids having to do two calls into the file system for write faults. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner

dax: provide an iomap based dax read/write path

2016-09-19T01:24:49Z

This is a much simpler implementation of the DAX read/write path that makes use of the iomap infrastructure. It does not try to mirror the direct I/O calling conventions and thus doesn't have to deal with i_dio_count or the end_io handler, but instead leaves locking and filesystem-specific I/O completion to the caller.

dax: remote unused fault wrappers

2016-07-26T23:19:19Z

Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault(). After this removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers. The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults (calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime and ctime). However, the following commits: 5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults") ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching") added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called. This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to be used in the future. XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by: 6b698edeeef0 ("xfs: add DAX file operations support") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160714214049.20075-2-ross.zwisler@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: Alexander Viro Cc: Andreas Dilger Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Dave Chinner Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Cc: Jonathan Corbet Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

dax: Use radix tree entry lock to protect cow faults

2016-05-19T21:27:49Z

When doing cow faults, we cannot directly fill in PTE as we do for other faults as we rely on generic code to do proper accounting of the cowed page. We also have no page to lock to protect against races with truncate as other faults have and we need the protection to extend until the moment generic code inserts cowed page into PTE thus at that point we have no protection of fs-specific i_mmap_sem. So far we relied on using i_mmap_lock for the protection however that is completely special to cow faults. To make fault locking more uniform use DAX entry lock instead.

dax: New fault locking

2016-05-19T21:20:54Z

Currently DAX page fault locking is racy. CPU0 (write fault) CPU1 (read fault) __dax_fault() __dax_fault() get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped get_block(inode, block, &bh, 0) -> not mapped if (!buffer_mapped(&bh)) if (vmf->flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) get_block(inode, block, &bh, 1) -> allocates blocks if (page) -> no if (!buffer_mapped(&bh)) if (vmf->flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) { } else { dax_load_hole(); } dax_insert_mapping() And we are in a situation where we fail in dax_radix_entry() with -EIO. Another problem with the current DAX page fault locking is that there is no race-free way to clear dirty tag in the radix tree. We can always end up with clean radix tree and dirty data in CPU cache. We fix the first problem by introducing locking of exceptional radix tree entries in DAX mappings acting very similarly to page lock and thus synchronizing properly faults against the same mapping index. The same lock can later be used to avoid races when clearing radix tree dirty tag. Reviewed-by: NeilBrown Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler

dax: Allow DAX code to replace exceptional entries

2016-05-19T21:18:30Z

Currently we forbid page_cache_tree_insert() to replace exceptional radix tree entries for DAX inodes. However to make DAX faults race free we will lock radix tree entries and when hole is created, we need to replace such locked radix tree entry with a hole page. So modify page_cache_tree_insert() to allow that. Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler

dax: Define DAX lock bit for radix tree exceptional entry

2016-05-19T21:14:55Z

We will use lowest available bit in the radix tree exceptional entry for locking of the entry. Define it. Also clean up definitions of DAX entry type bits in DAX exceptional entries to use defined constants instead of hardcoding numbers and cleanup checking of these bits to not rely on how other bits in the entry are set.
