Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner: "This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well. The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about the existence of pages and folios The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the individual pulls I took. Summary: - Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O calls to prevent these from happening at the same time. - Support for direct and unbuffered I/O. - Support for write-through caching in the page cache. - O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing to the page cache and then flushing afterwards. - Support for write-streaming. - Support for write grouping. - Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF. - The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the corresponding maintainer entry is updated. - Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as belonging to the netfs library. - Follow-up fixes for the netfs library. - Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion" * tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (50 commits) netfs: Fix wrong #ifdef hiding wait cachefiles: Fix signed/unsigned mixup netfs: Fix the loop that unmarks folios after writing to the cache netfs: Fix interaction between write-streaming and cachefiles culling netfs: Count DIO writes netfs: Mark netfs_unbuffered_write_iter_locked() static netfs: Fix proc/fs/fscache symlink to point to "netfs" not "../netfs" netfs: Rearrange netfs_io_subrequest to put request pointer first 9p: Use length of data written to the server in preference to error 9p: Do a couple of cleanups 9p: Fix initialisation of netfs_inode for 9p cachefiles: Fix __cachefiles_prepare_write() 9p: Use netfslib read/write_iter afs: Use the netfs write helpers netfs: Export the netfs_sreq tracepoint netfs: Optimise away reads above the point at which there can be no data netfs: Implement a write-through caching option netfs: Provide a launder_folio implementation netfs: Provide a writepages implementation netfs, cachefiles: Pass upper bound length to allow expansion ...

netfs: Move pinning-for-writeback from fscache to netfs

2023-12-24T15:08:49Z

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.

btrfs, mm: remove the punt_to_cgroup field in struct writeback_control

2023-04-17T16:01:22Z

punt_to_cgroup is only used by extent_write_locked_range, but that function also directly controls the bio flags for the actual submission. Remove th punt_to_cgroup field, and just set REQ_CGROUP_PUNT directly in extent_write_locked_range. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: David Sterba

fs: convert writepage_t callback to pass a folio

2023-02-03T06:33:34Z

Patch series "Convert writepage_t to use a folio". More folioisation. I split out the mpage work from everything else because it completely dominated the patch, but some implementations I just converted outright. This patch (of 2): We always write back an entire folio, but that's currently passed as the head page. Convert all filesystems that use write_cache_pages() to expect a folio instead of a page.

mm/fs: convert inode_attach_wb() to take a folio

2023-02-03T06:33:19Z

Patch series "Writeback folio conversions". Remove more calls to compound_head() by passing folios around instead of pages. This patch (of 2): The only caller of inode_attach_wb() which doesn't pass NULL already has a folio, so convert the whole call-chain to take folios.
