bdev_write_page() is used by swapout and by writepage where we cannot
use __GFP_FS or __GFP_IO. So it is misleading to mention GFP_KERNEL
here.
blk_queue_enter() only actually looks at __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM, so no
bugs were harmed in the making of this patch.

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:
- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

If an application wants exclusive access to all of the persistent memory
provided by an NVDIMM namespace it can use this raw-block-dax facility
to forgo establishing a filesystem. This capability is targeted
primarily to hypervisors wanting to provision persistent memory for
guests. It can be disabled / enabled dynamically via the new BLKDAXSET
ioctl.

Since 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host
cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") inode, at some point in its lifetime,
gets attached to a wb (struct bdi_writeback). Detaching happens on
evict, in inode_detach_wb() called from __destroy_inode(), and involves
updating wb.
However, detaching an internal bdev inode from its wb in
__destroy_inode() is too late. Its bdi and by extension root wb are
embedded into struct request_queue, which has different lifetime rules
and can be freed long before the final bdput() is called (can be from
__fput() of a corresponding /dev inode, through dput() - evict() -
bd_forget(). bdevs hold onto the underlying disk/queue pair only while
opened; as soon as bdev is closed all bets are off. In fact,
disk/queue can be gone before __blkdev_put() even returns:
1499 static void __blkdev_put(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, int for_part)
1500 {
...
1518 if (bdev->bd_contains == bdev) {
1519 if (disk->fops->release)
1520 disk->fops->release(disk, mode);
[ Driver puts its references to disk/queue ]
1521 }
1522 if (!bdev->bd_openers) {
1523 struct module *owner = disk->fops->owner;
1524
1525 disk_put_part(bdev->bd_part);
1526 bdev->bd_part = NULL;
1527 bdev->bd_disk = NULL;
1528 if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
1529 victim = bdev->bd_contains;
1530 bdev->bd_contains = NULL;
1531
1532 put_disk(disk);
[ We put ours, the queue is gone
The last bdput() would result in a write to invalid memory ]
1533 module_put(owner);
...
1539 }
Since bdev inodes are special anyway, detach them in __blkdev_put()
after clearing inode's dirty bits, turning the problematic
inode_detach_wb() in __destroy_inode() into a noop.
add_disk() grabs its disk->queue since 523e1d399ce0 ("block: make
gendisk hold a reference to its queue"), so the old ->release comment
is removed in favor of the new inode_detach_wb() comment.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to
return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is
defined in linux/mm.h. Given that we don't want to include <linux/mm.h>
in <linux/fs.h>, the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related
functions to a new header, <linux/dax.h>. We could also have moved
VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't
quite such a boil-the-ocean header as <linux/mm.h>, but this felt like
the best option.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

The process of reducing contention on per-superblock inode lists
starts with moving the locking to match the per-superblock inode
list. This takes the global lock out of the picture and reduces the
contention problems to within a single filesystem. This doesn't get
rid of contention as the locks still have global CPU scope, but it
does isolate operations on different superblocks form each other.

Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

If a block device has bio integrity enabled, rw_page will bypass the
integrity payload, which is undesirable. Skip rw_page if this is the
case.
Currently brd and zram provide rw_page, and the proposed 'nd' drivers
will too.

Now that bdi definitions are moved to backing-dev-defs.h,
backing-dev.h can include blkdev.h and inline inode_to_bdi() without
worrying about introducing circular include dependency. The function
gets called from hot paths and fairly trivial.
This patch makes inode_to_bdi() and sb_is_blkdev_sb() that the
function calls inline. blockdev_superblock and noop_backing_dev_info
are EXPORT_GPL'd to allow the inline functions to be used from
modules.
While at it, make sb_is_blkdev_sb() return bool instead of int.

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.
v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.
For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
better latencies too. Before:

In other setups, Robert Elliott reported seeing good performance

The more applications accessing the device, the worse it gets.
Add a new direct-io flags, DIO_SKIP_DIO_COUNT, which tells
do_blockdev_direct_IO() that it need not worry about incrementing
or decrementing the inode i_dio_count for this caller.

Since 018a17bdc865 ("bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi()") the
block device code writes out all dirty data whenever switching the
backing_dev_info for a block device inode. But a block device inode can
only be dirtied when it is in use, which means we only have to write it
out on the final blkdev_put, but not when doing a blkdev_get.
Factoring out the write out from the bdi list switch prepares from
removing the list switch later in the series.

Currently, freezing a filesystem involves calling freeze_super, which locks
sb->s_umount and then calls the fs-specific freeze_fs hook. This makes it
hard for gfs2 (and potentially other cluster filesystems) to use the vfs
freezing code to do freezes on all the cluster nodes.
In order to communicate that a freeze has been requested, and to make sure
that only one node is trying to freeze at a time, gfs2 uses a glock
(sd_freeze_gl). The problem is that there is no hook for gfs2 to acquire
this lock before calling freeze_super. This means that two nodes can
attempt to freeze the filesystem by both calling freeze_super, acquiring
the sb->s_umount lock, and then attempting to grab the cluster glock
sd_freeze_gl. Only one will succeed, and the other will be stuck in
freeze_super, making it impossible to finish freezing the node.
To solve this problem, this patch adds the freeze_super and thaw_super
hooks. If a filesystem implements these hooks, they are called instead of
the vfs freeze_super and thaw_super functions. This means that every
filesystem that implements these hooks must call the vfs freeze_super and
thaw_super functions itself within the hook function to make use of the vfs
freezing code.

Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading
to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that
extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device,
these reads now return EIO.
The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal
block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks,
prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device.

Sequential read from a block device is expected to be equal or faster than
from the file on a filesystem. But it is not correct due to the lack of
effective readpages() in the address space operations for block device.
This implements readpages() operation for block device by using
mpage_readpages() which can create multipage BIOs instead of BIOs for each
page and reduce system CPU time consumption.
Install 1GB of RAM disk storage:
# modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 delay=0
Sequential read from file on a filesystem:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/$DEV
# mount /dev/$DEV /mnt
# fio --name=t --size=512m --rw=read --filename=/mnt/file

A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus
different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch
the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be
dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in
that it reaches into bdi internals.
This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode
if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without
exposing bdi internals.

bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.
All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().
Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

A block device driver may choose to provide a rw_page operation. These
will be called when the filesystem is attempting to do page sized I/O to
page cache pages (ie not for direct I/O). This does preclude I/Os that
are larger than page size, so this may only be a performance gain for
some devices.
