Linus Torvalds 6b1f86f8e9 Filesystem folio changes for 5.18
Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations
 to take a folio instead of a page.
 
 ->is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and changes the
 type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it obvious they're bytes.
 ->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a similar type change.
 ->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()
 ->set_page_dirty() becomes ->dirty_folio() and adds the address_space as
 an argument.
 
 There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth
 separating into their own pull request.

Hugh Dickins 56a8c8eb1e tmpfs: do not allocate pages on read
Mikulas asked in "Do we still need commit a0ee5ec520 ('tmpfs: allocate
on read when stacked')?" in [1]

Lukas noticed this unusual behavior of loop device backed by tmpfs in [2].

Normally, shmem_file_read_iter() copies the ZERO_PAGE when reading
holes; but if it looks like it might be a read for "a stacking
filesystem", it allocates actual pages to the page cache, and even marks
them as dirty.  And reads from the loop device do satisfy the test that
is used.

This oddity was added for an old version of unionfs, to help to limit
its usage to the limited size of the tmpfs mount involved; but about the
same time as the tmpfs mod went in (2.6.25), unionfs was reworked to
proceed differently; and the mod kept just in case others needed it.

Do we still need it? I cannot answer with more certainty than "Probably
not".  It's nasty enough that we really should try to delete it; but if
a regression is reported somewhere, then we might have to revert later.

It's not quite as simple as just removing the test (as Mikulas did):
xfstests generic/013 hung because splice from tmpfs failed on page not
up-to-date and page mapping unset.  That can be fixed just by marking
the ZERO_PAGE as Uptodate, which of course it is: do so in
pagecache_init() - it might be useful to others than tmpfs.

My intention, though, was to stop using the ZERO_PAGE here altogether:
surely iov_iter_zero() is better for this case? Sadly not: it relies on
clear_user(), and the x86 clear_user() is slower than its copy_user() [3].

But while we are still using the ZERO_PAGE, let's stop dirtying its
struct page cacheline with unnecessary get_page() and put_page().

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) d68eccad37 mm/filemap: Allow large folios to be added to the page cache
We return -EEXIST if there are any non-shadow entries in the page
cache in the range covered by the folio.  If there are multiple
shadow entries in the range, we set *shadowp to one of them (currently
the one at the highest index).  If that turns out to be the wrong
answer, we can implement something more complex.  This is mostly
modelled after the equivalent function in the shmem code.

Christoph Hellwig 0a4ee51818 mm: remove cleancache
Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dc ("xen: remove tmem driver").

Alistair Popple ffa65753c4 mm/migrate.c: rework migration_entry_wait() to not take a pageref
This fixes the FIXME in migrate_vma_check_page().

Before migrating a page migration code will take a reference and check
there are no unexpected page references, failing the migration if there
are.  When a thread faults on a migration entry it will take a temporary
reference to the page to wait for the page to become unlocked signifying
the migration entry has been removed.

This reference is dropped just prior to waiting on the page lock,
however the extra reference can cause migration failures so it is
desirable to avoid taking it.

As migration code already has a reference to the migrating page an extra
reference to wait on PG_locked is unnecessary so long as the reference
can't be dropped whilst setting up the wait.

When faulting on a migration entry the ptl is taken to check the
migration entry.  Removing a migration entry also requires the ptl, and
migration code won't drop its page reference until after the migration
entry has been removed.  Therefore retaining the ptl of a migration
entry is sufficient to ensure the page has a reference.  Reworking
migration_entry_wait() to hold the ptl until the wait setup is complete
means the extra page reference is no longer needed.

Linus Torvalds 6020c204be Convert much of the page cache to use folios
This patchset stops just short of actually enabling large folios.
 It converts everything that I noticed needs to be converted, but there may
 still be places I've overlooked which still have page size assumptions.
 The big change here is using large entries in the page cache XArray
 instead of many small entries.  That only affects shmem for now, but
 it's a pretty big change for shmem since it changes where memory needs
 to be allocated (at split time instead of insertion).

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) 6b24ca4a1a mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache
We currently store large folios as 2^N consecutive entries.  While this
consumes rather more memory than necessary, it also turns out to be buggy.
A writeback operation which starts within a tail page of a dirty folio will
not write back the folio as the xarray's dirty bit is only set on the
head index.  With multi-index entries, the dirty bit will be found no
matter where in the folio the operation starts.

This does end up simplifying the page cache slightly, although not as
much as I had hoped.

Johannes Weiner 51b8c1fe25 vfs: keep inodes with page cache off the inode shrinker LRU
Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache.  This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.

To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem.  However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree.  It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.

Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults.  We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior.  We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi.  The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.

The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.

To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible.  We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).

The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work.  This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.

Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would.  An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears.  This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.

Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock).  Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably.  Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker.  If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

Mel Gorman 8cd7c588de mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.

This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested.  It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].

Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea.  While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).

This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.

 - If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
   enough pages get cleaned

 - If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
   either reclaimed or put back on the LRU

 - If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
   another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.

This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work.  A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem.  Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.

stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase.  It has
four types of worker.

 - One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
   times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time

 - X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
   size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
   to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
   accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
   linear write speed of the storage.

 - Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files

 - Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory

 - Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory

X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4

The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.

The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages.  The results below are based on having zero
readers.

The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.

The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.

Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results.  The other two machines had much better latencies for example.

First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU.  There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim.  The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers.  Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.

It is expected that this will be very machine dependant.  Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not.  The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger.  The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable.  For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different.  The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity.  Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.

The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different.  Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes.  The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.

  Ops Percentage direct scans               90.59          77.37

  82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0

The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all.  What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).

      1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000

    778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000

congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.

Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.

------------

Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

    112 usec_timeout=100000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry.  For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were

   6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
  93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
  96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK

The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward.  A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads

For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

      9 usec_timeout=20000 usect_delayed=4000 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED

Most did not stall at all.  A small number reached the timeout.

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all.  The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.

While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all.  This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.

Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls.  There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage.  A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.

This patch (of 5):

Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:

 - kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
   reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
   pages can be cleaned.

 - Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
   inodes.

wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started.  If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early.  If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

Yang Shi e0f43fa506 mm: filemap: coding style cleanup for filemap_map_pmd()
Patch series "Solve silent data loss caused by poisoned page cache (shmem/tmpfs)", v5.

When discussing the patch that splits page cache THP in order to offline
the poisoned page, Noaya mentioned there is a bigger problem [1] that
prevents this from working since the page cache page will be truncated
if uncorrectable errors happen.  By looking this deeper it turns out
this approach (truncating poisoned page) may incur silent data loss for
all non-readonly filesystems if the page is dirty.  It may be worse for
in-memory filesystem, e.g.  shmem/tmpfs since the data blocks are
actually gone.

To solve this problem we could keep the poisoned dirty page in page
cache then notify the users on any later access, e.g.  page fault,
read/write, etc.  The clean page could be truncated as is since they can
be reread from disk later on.

The consequence is the filesystems may find poisoned page and manipulate
it as healthy page since all the filesystems actually don't check if the
page is poisoned or not in all the relevant paths except page fault.  In
general, we need make the filesystems be aware of poisoned page before
we could keep the poisoned page in page cache in order to solve the data
loss problem.

To make filesystems be aware of poisoned page we should consider:

 - The page should be not written back: clearing dirty flag could
   prevent from writeback.

 - The page should not be dropped (it shows as a clean page) by drop
   caches or other callers: the refcount pin from hwpoison could prevent
   from invalidating (called by cache drop, inode cache shrinking, etc),
   but it doesn't avoid invalidation in DIO path.

 - The page should be able to get truncated/hole punched/unlinked: it
   works as it is.

 - Notify users when the page is accessed, e.g. read/write, page fault
   and other paths (compression, encryption, etc).

The scope of the last one is huge since almost all filesystems need do
it once a page is returned from page cache lookup.  There are a couple
of options to do it:

 1. Check hwpoison flag for every path, the most straightforward way.

 2. Return NULL for poisoned page from page cache lookup, the most
    callsites check if NULL is returned, this should have least work I
    think. But the error handling in filesystems just return -ENOMEM,
    the error code will incur confusion to the users obviously.

 3. To improve #2, we could return error pointer, e.g. ERR_PTR(-EIO),
    but this will involve significant amount of code change as well
    since all the paths need check if the pointer is ERR or not just
    like option #1.

I did prototypes for both #1 and #3, but it seems #3 may require more
changes than #1.  For #3 ERR_PTR will be returned so all the callers
need to check the return value otherwise invalid pointer may be
dereferenced, but not all callers really care about the content of the
page, for example, partial truncate which just sets the truncated range
in one page to 0.  So for such paths it needs additional modification if
ERR_PTR is returned.  And if the callers have their own way to handle
the problematic pages we need to add a new FGP flag to tell FGP
functions to return the pointer to the page.

It may happen very rarely, but once it happens the consequence (data
corruption) could be very bad and it is very hard to debug.  It seems
this problem had been slightly discussed before, but seems no action was
taken at that time.  [2]

As the aforementioned investigation, it needs huge amount of work to
solve the potential data loss for all filesystems.  But it is much
easier for in-memory filesystems and such filesystems actually suffer
more than others since even the data blocks are gone due to truncating.
So this patchset starts from shmem/tmpfs by taking option #1.

TODO:
* The unpoison has been broken since commit 0ed950d1f2 ("mm,hwpoison: make
  get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page()"), and this patch series make
  refcount check for unpoisoning shmem page fail.
* Expand to other filesystems.  But I haven't heard feedback from filesystem
  developers yet.

Patch breakdown:
Patch #1: cleanup, depended by patch #2
Patch #2: fix THP with hwpoisoned subpage(s) PMD map bug
Patch #3: coding style cleanup
Patch #4: refactor and preparation.
Patch #5: keep the poisoned page in page cache and handle such case for all
          the paths.
Patch #6: the previous patches unblock page cache THP split, so this patch
          add page cache THP split support.

This patch (of 4):

A minor cleanup to the indent.
