Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner: - Restore read-write hints in struct bio through the bi_write_hint member for the sake of UFS devices in mobile applications. This can result in up to 40% lower write amplification in UFS devices. The patch series that builds on this will be coming in via the SCSI maintainers (Bart) - Overhaul the iomap writeback code. Afterwards ->map_blocks() is able to map multiple blocks at once as long as they're in the same folio. This reduces CPU usage for buffered write workloads on e.g., xfs on systems with lots of cores (Christoph) - Record processed bytes in iomap_iter() trace event (Kassey) - Extend iomap_writepage_map() trace event after Christoph's ->map_block() changes to map mutliple blocks at once (Zhang) * tag 'vfs-6.9.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (22 commits) iomap: Add processed for iomap_iter iomap: add pos and dirty_len into trace_iomap_writepage_map block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fields fs: Propagate write hints to the struct block_device inode fs: Move enum rw_hint into a new header file fs: Split fcntl_rw_hint() fs: Verify write lifetime constants at compile time fs: Fix rw_hint validation iomap: pass the length of the dirty region to ->map_blocks iomap: map multiple blocks at a time iomap: submit ioends immediately iomap: factor out a iomap_writepage_map_block helper iomap: only call mapping_set_error once for each failed bio iomap: don't chain bios iomap: move the iomap_sector sector calculation out of iomap_add_to_ioend iomap: clean up the iomap_alloc_ioend calling convention iomap: move all remaining per-folio logic into iomap_writepage_map iomap: factor out a iomap_writepage_handle_eof helper iomap: move the PF_MEMALLOC check to iomap_writepages iomap: move the io_folios field out of struct iomap_ioend ...

vfs: remove SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag usage

2024-02-27T10:21:31+00:00

The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag used to be implemented in SLAB, which was removed as of v6.8-rc1 (see [1]), so it became a dead flag since the commit 16a1d968358a ("mm/slab: remove mm/slab.c and slab_def.h"). And the series[1] went on to mark it obsolete explicitly to avoid confusion for users. Here we can just remove all its users, which has no any functional change.

block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fields

2024-02-06T13:31:05+00:00

Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f7697 ("block: Remove request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1aa ("block: remove the per-bio/request write hint"). This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied: /* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */ /* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */ Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202203926.2478590-7-bvanassche@acm.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

buffer: fix unintended successful return

2024-01-05T18:17:43+00:00

If try_to_free_buffers() succeeded and then folio_alloc_buffers() failed, grow_dev_folio() would return success. This would be incorrect; memory allocation failure is supposed to result in a failure. It's a harmless bug; the caller will simply go around the loop one more time and grow_dev_folio() will correctly return a failure that time. But it was an unintended change and looks like a more serious bug than it is. While I'm in here, improve the commentary about why we return success even though we failed.

fs: remove the bh_end_io argument from __block_write_full_folio

2023-12-29T19:58:36+00:00

All callers are passing end_buffer_async_write as this argument, so we can hardcode references to it within __block_write_full_folio(). That lets us make end_buffer_async_write() static.

Convert the function to be compatible with writepage_t so that it can be passed to write_cache_pages() by blkdev. This removes a call to compound_head(). We can also remove the function export as both callers are built-in.

buffer: fix more functions for block size > PAGE_SIZE

2023-12-29T19:58:23+00:00

Both __block_write_full_folio() and block_read_full_folio() assumed that block size <= PAGE_SIZE. Replace the shift with a divide, which is probably cheaper than first calculating the shift. That lets us remove block_size_bits() as these were the last callers.
