fs: remove noop_set_page_dirty()

2021-06-29T17:53:48+00:00

Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead. This will set the dirty bit on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the pages are not on any LRU lists.

2021-06-29T17:53:48+00:00

Move the ramfs aops to libfs and reuse them for kernfs and configfs. Thosw two did not wire up ->set_page_dirty before and now get __set_page_dirty_no_writeback, which is the right one for no-writeback address_space usage. Drop the now unused exports of the libfs helpers only used for ramfs-style pagecache usage.

drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good

2021-05-07T07:26:34+00:00

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good". Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem. Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be able to deal with things like a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem) -> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient. b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched -> mem_pfn_is_ram() Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might fault/crash the machine. Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1], after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion. CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from 15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well. 1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of /dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.". RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching" 2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned pages, though) 3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot yourself into the foot. 4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes, /proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older kernels can be used. 5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there. Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's just remove it.

mm: provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() helper

2021-04-30T18:20:36+00:00

Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3. An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town. For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_ offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them. I'd drop caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd regress back to using workers. Turns out that every minute something was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that inode. I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was solved. Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache entries for the given range. This causes unnecessary work from the callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without blocking on writeback when there is none. This patch (of 3): For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any page in the given range. The existing mechanism just checks for a page in the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in the range. Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.
