<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>btrfs: add METADATA_REMAP chunk type</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b4d29fa98ca1a49c4498353253f857573871ba0</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new METADATA_REMAP chunk type, which is a metadata chunk that holds the
remap tree.

This is needed for bootstrapping purposes: the remap tree can't itself
be remapped, and must be relocated the existing way, by COWing every
leaf. The remap tree can't go in the SYSTEM chunk as space there is
limited, because a copy of the chunk item gets placed in the superblock.

The changes in fs/btrfs/volumes.h are because we're adding a new block
group type bit after the profile bits, and so can no longer rely on the
const_ilog2 trick.

The sizing to 32MB per chunk, matching the SYSTEM chunk, is an estimate
here, we can adjust it later if it proves to be too big or too small.
This works out to be ~500,000 remap items, which for a 4KB block size
covers ~2GB of remapped data in the worst case and ~500TB in the best case.

<title>btrfs: remove experimental offload csum mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae23fee41b36a39f8e163580fe273ca3f88f2413</id>
<content type='text'>
The offload csum mode was introduced to allow developers to compare the
performance of generating checksum for data writes at different timings:

- During btrfs_submit_chunk()
  This is the most common one, if any of the following condition is met
  we go this path:

  * The csum is fast
    For now it's CRC32C and xxhash.

  * It's a synchronous write

  * Zoned

- Delay the checksum generation to a workqueue

However since commit dd57c78aec39 ("btrfs: introduce
btrfs_bio::async_csum") we no longer need to bother any of them.

As if it's an experimental build, async checksum generation at the
background will be faster anyway.

And if not an experimental build, we won't even have the offload csum
mode support.

Considering the async csum will be the new default, let's remove the
offload csum mode code.

There will be no impact to end users, and offload csum mode is still
under experimental features.

<title>btrfs: switch to library APIs for checksums</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=fe11ac191ce0ad910f6fda0c628bcff19fcff47d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:fe11ac191ce0ad910f6fda0c628bcff19fcff47d</id>
<content type='text'>
Make btrfs use the library APIs instead of crypto_shash, for all
checksum computations.  This has many benefits:

- Allows future checksum types, e.g. XXH3 or CRC64, to be more easily
  supported.  Only a library API will be needed, not crypto_shash too.

- Eliminates the overhead of the generic crypto layer, including an
  indirect call for every function call and other API overhead.  A
  microbenchmark of btrfs_check_read_bio() with crc32c checksums shows a
  speedup from 658 cycles to 608 cycles per 4096-byte block.

- Decreases the stack usage of btrfs by reducing the size of checksum
  contexts from 384 bytes to 240 bytes, and by eliminating the need for
  some functions to declare a checksum context at all.

- Increases reliability.  The library functions always succeed and
  return void.  In contrast, crypto_shash can fail and return errors.
  Also, the library functions are guaranteed to be available when btrfs
  is loaded; there's no longer any need to use module softdeps to try to
  work around the crypto modules sometimes not being loaded.

- Fixes a bug where blake2b checksums didn't work on kernels booted with
  fips=1.  Since btrfs checksums are for integrity only, it's fine for
  them to use non-FIPS-approved algorithms.

Note that with having to handle 4 algorithms instead of just 1-2, this
commit does result in a slightly positive diffstat.  That being said,
this wouldn't have been the case if btrfs had actually checked for
errors from crypto_shash, which technically it should have been doing.

We don't need it since we can grab fs_info from the given space_info.
So remove the fs_info argument.

<title>btrfs: simplify support block size check</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d728f2e5f8a075756ce60410c1ecb3a0b61f2bf8</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently we manually check the block size against 3 different values:

- 4K
- PAGE_SIZE
- MIN_BLOCKSIZE

Those 3 values can match or differ from each other.  This makes it
pretty complex to output the supported block sizes.

Considering we're going to add block size &gt; page size support soon, this
can make the support block size sysfs attribute much harder to
implement.

To make it easier, factor out a helper, btrfs_supported_blocksize() to
do a simple check for the block size.

Then utilize it in the two locations:

- btrfs_validate_super()
  This is very straightforward

- supported_sectorsizes_show()
  Iterate through all valid block sizes, and only output supported ones.

  This is to make future full range block sizes support much easier.
