Patch series "squashfs: fix some regressions introduced in the readahead
code".
This patchset fixes 3 regressions introduced by the recent readahead code
changes. The first regression is causing "snaps" to randomly fail after a
couple of hours or days, which how the regression came to light.
This patch (of 3):
If a file isn't a whole multiple of the page size, the last page will have
trailing bytes unfilled.
There was a mistake in the readahead code which did this. In particular
it incorrectly assumed that the last page in the readahead page array
(page[nr_pages - 1]) will always contain the last page in the block, which
if we're at file end, will be the page that needs to be zero filled.
But the readahead code may not return the last page in the block, which
means it is unmapped and will be skipped by the decompressors (a temporary
buffer used).
In this case the zero filling code will zero out the wrong page, leading
to data corruption.
Fix this by by extending the "page actor" to return the last page if
present, or NULL if a temporary buffer was used.

The decompressors may be called while in an atomic section. So move the
kmalloc() out of this path, and into the "page actor" init function.

Patch series "Squashfs: handle missing pages decompressing into page
cache".
This patchset enables Squashfs to handle missing pages when directly
decompressing datablocks into the page cache.
Previously if the full set of pages needed was not available, Squashfs
would have to fall back to using an intermediate buffer (the older
method), which is slower, involving a memcopy, and it introduces
contention on a shared buffer.
The first patch extends the "page actor" code to handle missing pages.
The second patch updates Squashfs_readpage_block() to use the new
functionality, and removes the code that falls back to using an
intermediate buffer.
This patchset is independent of the readahead work, and it is standalone.
It can be merged on its own.
But the readahead patch for efficiency also needs this patch-set.
This patch (of 2):
This patch extends the "page actor" code to handle missing pages.
Previously if the full set of pages needed to decompress a Squashfs
datablock was unavailable, this would cause decompression to fail on the
missing pages.
In this case direct decompression into the page cache could not be
achieved and the code would fall back to using the older intermediate
buffer method.
With this patch, direct decompression into the page cache can be achieved
with missing pages.
For "multi-shot" decompressors (zlib, xz, zstd), the page actor will
allocate a temporary buffer which is passed to the decompressor, and then
freed by the page actor.
For "single shot" decompressors (lz4, lzo) which decompress into a
contiguous "bounce buffer", and which is then copied into the page cache,
it would be pointless to allocate a temporary buffer, memcpy into it, and
then free it. For these decompressors -ENOMEM is returned, which
signifies that the memcpy for that page should be skipped.
This also happens if the data block is uncompressed.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
that directly decompresses into the page cache.
This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables
direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
kmap/kunmap calls.
The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
buffer.
This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.
Using single-thread decompression.
