include/linux/pagemap.h: introduce attach/detach_page_private

2020-06-02T17:59:07Z

Patch series "Introduce attach/detach_page_private to cleanup code". This patch (of 10): The logic in attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers are quite paired, but 1. they are located in different files. 2. attach_page_buffers is implemented in buffer_head.h, so it could be used by other files. But __clear_page_buffers is static function in buffer.c and other potential users can't call the function, md-bitmap even copied the function. So, introduce the new attach/detach_page_private to replace them. With the new pair of function, we will remove the usage of attach_page_buffers and __clear_page_buffers in next patches. Thanks for suggestions about the function name from Alexander Viro, Andreas Grünbacher, Christoph Hellwig and Matthew Wilcox.

mm: add new readahead_control API

2020-06-02T17:59:06Z

Filesystems which implement the upcoming ->readahead method will get their pages by calling readahead_page() or readahead_page_batch().

mm: move readahead prototypes from mm.h

2020-06-02T17:59:06Z

Patch series "Change readahead API", v11. This series adds a readahead address_space operation to replace the readpages operation. The key difference is that pages are added to the page cache as they are allocated (and then looked up by the filesystem) instead of passing them on a list to the readpages operation and having the filesystem add them to the page cache. It's a net reduction in code for each implementation, more efficient than walking a list, and solves the direct-write vs buffered-read problem reported by yu kuai at http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200116063601.39201-1-yukuai3@huawei.com The only unconverted filesystems are those which use fscache. Their conversion is pending Dave Howells' rewrite which will make the conversion substantially easier. This should be completed by the end of the year. I want to thank the reviewers/testers; Dave Chinner, John Hubbard, Eric Biggers, Johannes Thumshirn, Dave Sterba, Zi Yan, Christoph Hellwig and Miklos Szeredi have done a marvellous job of providing constructive criticism. These patches pass an xfstests run on ext4, xfs & btrfs with no regressions that I can tell (some of the tests seem a little flaky before and remain flaky afterwards). This patch (of 25): The readahead code is part of the page cache so should be found in the pagemap.h file. force_page_cache_readahead is only used within mm, so move it to mm/internal.h instead. Remove the parameter names where they add no value, and rename the ones which were actively misleading.

vfs: track per-sb writeback errors and report them to syncfs

2020-06-02T17:59:05Z

Patch series "vfs: have syncfs() return error when there are writeback errors", v6. Currently, syncfs does not return errors when one of the inodes fails to be written back. It will return errors based on the legacy AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC flags when syncing out the block device fails, but that's not particularly helpful for filesystems that aren't backed by a blockdev. It's also possible for a stray sync to lose those errors. The basic idea in this set is to track writeback errors at the superblock level, so that we can quickly and easily check whether something bad happened without having to fsync each file individually. syncfs is then changed to reliably report writeback errors after they occur, much in the same fashion as fsync does now. This patch (of 2): Usually we suggest that applications call fsync when they want to ensure that all data written to the file has made it to the backing store, but that can be inefficient when there are a lot of open files. Calling syncfs on the filesystem can be more efficient in some situations, but the error reporting doesn't currently work the way most people expect. If a single inode on a filesystem reports a writeback error, syncfs won't necessarily return an error. syncfs only returns an error if __sync_blockdev fails, and on some filesystems that's a no-op. It would be better if syncfs reported an error if there were any writeback failures. Then applications could call syncfs to see if there are any errors on any open files, and could then call fsync on all of the other descriptors to figure out which one failed. This patch adds a new errseq_t to struct super_block, and has mapping_set_error also record writeback errors there. To report those errors, we also need to keep an errseq_t in struct file to act as a cursor. This patch adds a dedicated field for that purpose, which slots nicely into 4 bytes of padding at the end of struct file on x86_64. An earlier version of this patch used an O_PATH file descriptor to cue the kernel that the open file should track the superblock error and not the inode's writeback error. I think that API is just too weird though. This is simpler and should make syncfs error reporting "just work" even if someone is multiplexing fsync and syncfs on the same fds.

If THP is disabled, find_subpage() can become a no-op by using hpage_nr_pages() instead of compound_nr(). hpage_nr_pages() embeds a check for PageTail, so we can drop the check here.

mm: swap: make page_evictable() inline

2020-04-02T16:35:27Z

When backporting commit 9c4e6b1a7027 ("mm, mlock, vmscan: no more skipping pagevecs") to our 4.9 kernel, our test bench noticed around 10% down with a couple of vm-scalability's test cases (lru-file-readonce, lru-file-readtwice and lru-file-mmap-read). I didn't see that much down on my VM (32c-64g-2nodes). It might be caused by the test configuration, which is 32c-256g with NUMA disabled and the tests were run in root memcg, so the tests actually stress only one inactive and active lru. It sounds not very usual in mordern production environment. That commit did two major changes: 1. Call page_evictable() 2. Use smp_mb to force the PG_lru set visible It looks they contribute the most overhead. The page_evictable() is a function which does function prologue and epilogue, and that was used by page reclaim path only. However, lru add is a very hot path, so it sounds better to make it inline. However, it calls page_mapping() which is not inlined either, but the disassemble shows it doesn't do push and pop operations and it sounds not very straightforward to inline it. Other than this, it sounds smp_mb() is not necessary for x86 since SetPageLRU is atomic which enforces memory barrier already, replace it with smp_mb__after_atomic() in the following patch. With the two fixes applied, the tests can get back around 5% on that test bench and get back normal on my VM. Since the test bench configuration is not that usual and I also saw around 6% up on the latest upstream, so it sounds good enough IMHO. The below is test data (lru-file-readtwice throughput) against the v5.6-rc4: mainline w/ inline fix 150MB 154MB With this patch the throughput gets 2.67% up. The data with using smp_mb__after_atomic() is showed in the following patch. Shakeel Butt did the below test: On a real machine with limiting the 'dd' on a single node and reading 100 GiB sparse file (less than a single node). Just ran a single instance to not cause the lru lock contention. The cmdline used is "dd if=file-100GiB of=/dev/null bs=4k". Ran the cmd 10 times with drop_caches in between and measured the time it took.

include/linux/pagemap.h: rename arguments to find_subpage

2020-04-02T16:35:26Z

This isn't just a random struct page, it's known to be a head page, and calling it head makes the function better self-documenting. The pgoff_t is less confusing if it's named index instead of offset. Also add a couple of comments to explain why we're doing various things.
