Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler in struct
vm_operations_struct. For now, this is just documenting that the
function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all
instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type.

f2fs specifies the __GFP_ZERO flag for allocating some of its pages.
Unfortunately, the page cache also uses the mapping's GFP flags for
allocating radix tree nodes. It always masked off the __GFP_HIGHMEM
flag, and masks off __GFP_ZERO in some paths, but not all. That causes
radix tree nodes to be allocated with a NULL list_head, which causes
backtraces like:
__list_del_entry+0x30/0xd0
list_lru_del+0xac/0x1ac
page_cache_tree_insert+0xd8/0x110
The __GFP_DMA and __GFP_DMA32 flags would also be able to sneak through
if they are ever used. Fix them all by using GFP_RECLAIM_MASK at the
innermost location, and remove it from earlier in the callchain.

Merge tag 'afs-next-20171113' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull AFS updates from David Howells:
"kAFS filesystem driver overhaul.
The major points of the overhaul are:
(1) Preliminary groundwork is laid for supporting network-namespacing
of kAFS. The remainder of the namespacing work requires some way
to pass namespace information to submounts triggered by an
automount. This requires something like the mount overhaul that's
in progress.
(2) sockaddr_rxrpc is used in preference to in_addr for holding
addresses internally and add support for talking to the YFS VL
server. With this, kAFS can do everything over IPv6 as well as
IPv4 if it's talking to servers that support it.
(3) Callback handling is overhauled to be generally passive rather
than active. 'Callbacks' are promises by the server to tell us
about data and metadata changes. Callbacks are now checked when
we next touch an inode rather than actively going and looking for
it where possible.
(4) File access permit caching is overhauled to store the caching
information per-inode rather than per-directory, shared over
subordinate files. Whilst older AFS servers only allow ACLs on
directories (shared to the files in that directory), newer AFS
servers break that restriction.
To improve memory usage and to make it easier to do mass-key
removal, permit combinations are cached and shared.
(5) Cell database management is overhauled to allow lighter locks to
be used and to make cell records autonomous state machines that
look after getting their own DNS records and cleaning themselves
up, in particular preventing races in acquiring and relinquishing
the fscache token for the cell.
(6) Volume caching is overhauled. The afs_vlocation record is got rid
of to simplify things and the superblock is now keyed on the cell
and the numeric volume ID only. The volume record is tied to a
superblock and normal superblock management is used to mediate
the lifetime of the volume fscache token.
(7) File server record caching is overhauled to make server records
independent of cells and volumes. A server can be in multiple
cells (in such a case, the administrator must make sure that the
VL services for all cells correctly reflect the volumes shared
between those cells).
Server records are now indexed using the UUID of the server
rather than the address since a server can have multiple
addresses.
(8) File server rotation is overhauled to handle VMOVED, VBUSY (and
similar), VOFFLINE and VNOVOL indications and to handle rotation
both of servers and addresses of those servers. The rotation will
also wait and retry if the server says it is busy.
(9) Data writeback is overhauled. Each inode no longer stores a list
of modified sections tagged with the key that authorised it in
favour of noting the modified region of a page in page->private
and storing a list of keys that made modifications in the inode.
This simplifies things and allows other keys to be used to
actually write to the server if a key that made a modification
becomes useless.
(10) Writable mmap() is implemented. This allows a kernel to be build
entirely on AFS.
Note that Pre AFS-3.4 servers are no longer supported, though this can
be added back if necessary (AFS-3.4 was released in 1998)"

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot. As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.
No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal. The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

During truncation, the mapping has already been checked for shmem and
dax so it's known that workingset_update_node is required.
This patch avoids the checks on mapping for each page being truncated.
In all other cases, a lookup helper is used to determine if
workingset_update_node() needs to be called. The one danger is that the
API is slightly harder to use as calling workingset_update_node directly
without checking for dax or shmem mappings could lead to surprises.
However, the API rarely needs to be used and hopefully the comment is
enough to give people the hint.

As you'd expect, the gain is marginal but it can be detected. The
differences in bonnie are all within the noise which is not surprising
given the impact on the microbenchmark.
radix_tree_update_node_t is a callback for some radix operations that
optionally passes in a private field. The only user of the callback is
workingset_update_node and as it no longer requires a mapping, the
private field is removed.

Currently we remove pages from the radix tree one by one. To speed up
page cache truncation, lock several pages at once and free them in one
go. This allows us to batch radix tree operations in a more efficient
way and also save round-trips on mapping->tree_lock. As a result we
gain about 20% speed improvement in page cache truncation.
Data from a simple benchmark timing 10000 truncates of 1024 pages (on
ext4 on ramdisk but the filesystem is barely visible in the profiles).

In this series I provide a ranged variant of pagevec_lookup_tag() and
use it in places where it makes sense. This series removes some common
code and it also has a potential for speeding up some operations
similarly as for pagevec_lookup_range() (but for now I can think of only
artificial cases where this happens).
This patch (of 16):
Implement a variant of find_get_pages_tag() that stops iterating at
given index. Lots of users of this function (through pagevec_lookup())
actually want a range lookup and all of them are currently open-coding
this.
Also create corresponding pagevec_lookup_range_tag() function.

Eryu noticed that he could sometimes get a leftover error reported when
it shouldn't be on fsync with ext2 and non-journalled ext4.
The problem is that writeback_single_inode still uses filemap_fdatawait.
That picks up a previously set AS_EIO flag, which would ordinarily have
been cleared before.
Since we're mostly using this function as a replacement for
filemap_check_errors, have filemap_check_and_advance_wb_err clear AS_EIO
and AS_ENOSPC when reporting an error. That should allow the new
function to better emulate the behavior of the old with respect to these
flags.

Currently when mixing buffered reads and asynchronous direct writes it
is possible to end up with the situation where we have stale data in the
page cache while the new data is already written to disk. This is
permanent until the affected pages are flushed away. Despite the fact
that mixing buffered and direct IO is ill-advised it does pose a thread
for a data integrity, is unexpected and should be fixed.
Fix this by deferring completion of asynchronous direct writes to a
process context in the case that there are mapped pages to be found in
the inode. Later before the completion in dio_complete() invalidate
the pages in question. This ensures that after the completion the pages
in the written area are either unmapped, or populated with up-to-date
data. Also do the same for the iomap case which uses
iomap_dio_complete() instead.
This has a side effect of deferring the completion to a process context
for every AIO DIO that happens on inode that has pages mapped. However
since the consensus is that this is ill-advised practice the performance

Now that we have added breaks in the wait queue scan and allow bookmark

We can have very long page wait list in large system where multiple
pages share the same wait list. We break the wake up walk here to allow
other cpus a chance to access the list, and not to disable the interrupts
when traversing the list for too long. This reduces the interrupt and
rescheduling latency, and excessive page wait queue lock hold time.

Commit 3510ca20ec ("Minor page waitqueue cleanups") made the page
queue code always add new waiters to the back of the queue, which helps
upcoming patches to batch the wakeups for some horrid loads where the
wait queues grow to thousands of entries.
However, I forgot about the nasrt add_page_wait_queue() special case
code that is only used by the cachefiles code. That one still continued
to add the new wait queue entries at the beginning of the list.
Fix it, because any sane batched wakeup will require that we don't
suddenly start getting new entries at the beginning of the list that we
already handled in a previous batch.
[ The current code always does the whole list while holding the lock, so
wait queue ordering doesn't matter for correctness, but even then it's
better to add later entries at the end from a fairness standpoint ]

The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the
page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry
set.
That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been
skipped.
That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must*
take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also
pending.
So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for
them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for. Even
if that might then delay the killing of the process.
This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure
that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other
areas).
Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried
to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread
was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other
thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated. So any
other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows
extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA
migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the
actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found.
Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so
that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse
and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That
is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue
specific parts of it.
In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less
expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads
waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to
figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding
the excessive spinlock hold times.
That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least
fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular:
(a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit
we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of
the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just
causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers.
(b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of
the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is
that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads
that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway.
Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is
an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to
match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It
so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end
up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first
member in struct page.

small wait_on_page_writeback_range() optimization
filemap_fdatawait() calls wait_on_page_writeback_range() with -1
as "end" parameter. This is not needed since we know the EOF
from the inode. Use that instead.
There may be races here, particularly with clustered or network
filesystems. It also seems like a bit of a layering violation since
we're operating on an address_space here, not an inode.
Finally, it's also questionable whether this optimization really helps
on workloads that we care about. Should we be optimizing for writeback
vs. truncate races in a codepath where we expect to wait anyway? It
doesn't seem worth the risk.
Remove this optimization from the filemap_fdatawait codepaths. This
means that filemap_fdatawait becomes a trivial wrapper around
filemap_fdatawait_range.

Pull Writeback error handling updates from Jeff Layton:
"This pile represents the bulk of the writeback error handling fixes
that I have for this cycle. Some of the earlier patches in this pile
may look trivial but they are prerequisites for later patches in the
series.
The aim of this set is to improve how we track and report writeback
errors to userland. Most applications that care about data integrity
will periodically call fsync/fdatasync/msync to ensure that their
writes have made it to the backing store.
For a very long time, we have tracked writeback errors using two flags
in the address_space: AS_EIO and AS_ENOSPC. Those flags are set when a
writeback error occurs (via mapping_set_error) and are cleared as a
side-effect of filemap_check_errors (as you noted yesterday). This
model really sucks for userland.
Only the first task to call fsync (or msync or fdatasync) will see the
error. Any subsequent task calling fsync on a file will get back 0
(unless another writeback error occurs in the interim). If I have
several tasks writing to a file and calling fsync to ensure that their
writes got stored, then I need to have them coordinate with one
another. That's difficult enough, but in a world of containerized
setups that coordination may even not be possible.
But wait...it gets worse!
The calls to filemap_check_errors can be buried pretty far down in the
call stack, and there are internal callers of filemap_write_and_wait
and the like that also end up clearing those errors. Many of those
callers ignore the error return from that function or return it to
userland at nonsensical times (e.g. truncate() or stat()). If I get
back -EIO on a truncate, there is no reason to think that it was
because some previous writeback failed, and a subsequent fsync() will
(incorrectly) return 0.
This pile aims to do three things:
1) ensure that when a writeback error occurs that that error will be
reported to userland on a subsequent fsync/fdatasync/msync call,
regardless of what internal callers are doing
2) report writeback errors on all file descriptions that were open at
the time that the error occurred. This is a user-visible change,
but I think most applications are written to assume this behavior
anyway. Those that aren't are unlikely to be hurt by it.
3) document what filesystems should do when there is a writeback
error. Today, there is very little consistency between them, and a
lot of cargo-cult copying. We need to make it very clear what
filesystems should do in this situation.
To achieve this, the set adds a new data type (errseq_t) and then
builds new writeback error tracking infrastructure around that. Once
all of that is in place, we change the filesystems to use the new
infrastructure for reporting wb errors to userland.
Note that this is just the initial foray into cleaning up this mess.
There is a lot of work remaining here:
1) convert the rest of the filesystems in a similar fashion. Once the
initial set is in, then I think most other fs' will be fairly
simple to convert. Hopefully most of those can in via individual
filesystem trees.
2) convert internal waiters on writeback to use errseq_t for
detecting errors instead of relying on the AS_* flags. I have some
draft patches for this for ext4, but they are not quite ready for
prime time yet.
This was a discussion topic this year at LSF/MM too. If you're

Most filesystems currently use mapping_set_error and
filemap_check_errors for setting and reporting/clearing writeback errors
at the mapping level. filemap_check_errors is indirectly called from
most of the filemap_fdatawait_* functions and from
filemap_write_and_wait*. These functions are called from all sorts of
contexts to wait on writeback to finish -- e.g. mostly in fsync, but
also in truncate calls, getattr, etc.
The non-fsync callers are problematic. We should be reporting writeback
errors during fsync, but many places spread over the tree clear out
errors before they can be properly reported, or report errors at
nonsensical times.
If I get -EIO on a stat() call, there is no reason for me to assume that
it is because some previous writeback failed. The fact that it also
clears out the error such that a subsequent fsync returns 0 is a bug,
and a nasty one since that's potentially silent data corruption.
This patch adds a small bit of new infrastructure for setting and
reporting errors during address_space writeback. While the above was my
original impetus for adding this, I think it's also the case that
current fsync semantics are just problematic for userland. Most
applications that call fsync do so to ensure that the data they wrote
has hit the backing store.
In the case where there are multiple writers to the file at the same
time, this is really hard to determine. The first one to call fsync will
see any stored error, and the rest get back 0. The processes with open
fds may not be associated with one another in any way. They could even
be in different containers, so ensuring coordination between all fsync
callers is not really an option.
One way to remedy this would be to track what file descriptor was used
to dirty the file, but that's rather cumbersome and would likely be
slow. However, there is a simpler way to improve the semantics here
without incurring too much overhead.
This set adds an errseq_t to struct address_space, and a corresponding
one is added to struct file. Writeback errors are recorded in the
mapping's errseq_t, and the one in struct file is used as the "since"
value.
This changes the semantics of the Linux fsync implementation such that
applications can now use it to determine whether there were any
writeback errors since fsync(fd) was last called (or since the file was
opened in the case of fsync having never been called).
Note that those writeback errors may have occurred when writing data
that was dirtied via an entirely different fd, but that's the case now
with the current mapping_set_error/filemap_check_error infrastructure.
This will at least prevent you from getting a false report of success.
The new behavior is still consistent with the POSIX spec, and is more
reliable for application developers. This patch just adds some basic
infrastructure for doing this, and ensures that the f_wb_err "cursor"
is properly set when a file is opened. Later patches will change the
existing code to use this new infrastructure for reporting errors at
fsync time.

The -EIO returned here can end up overriding whatever error is marked in
the address space, and be returned at fsync time, even when there is a
more appropriate error stored in the mapping.
Read errors are also sometimes tracked on a per-page level using
PG_error. Suppose we have a read error on a page, and then that page is
subsequently dirtied by overwriting the whole page. Writeback doesn't
clear PG_error, so we can then end up successfully writing back that
page and still return -EIO on fsync.
Worse yet, PG_error is cleared during a sync() syscall, but the -EIO
return from that is silently discarded. Any subsystem that is relying on
PG_error to report errors during fsync can easily lose writeback errors
due to this. All you need is a stray sync() call to wait for writeback
to complete and you've lost the error.
Since the handling of the PG_error flag is somewhat inconsistent across
subsystems, let's just rely on marking the address space when there are
writeback errors. Change the TestClearPageError call to ClearPageError,
and make __filemap_fdatawait_range a void return function.

filemap_write_and_wait{_range} will return an error if writeback
initiation fails, but won't clear errors in the address_space. This is
particularly problematic on DAX, as filemap_fdatawrite* is
effectively synchronous there. Ensure that we clear the AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC
flags when filemap_fdatawrite* returns an error.

Resetting this flag is almost certainly racy, and will be problematic
with some coming changes.
Make filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors return int, but not clear the flag(s).
Have jbd2 call it instead of filemap_fdatawait and don't attempt to
re-set the error flag if it fails.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The main changes in this cycle were:
- Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)
- A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
topology code (Peter Zijlstra)
- Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)
- sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel)
- Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope
of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)
- Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker)
- Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel
Bristot de Oliveira)
- Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos
Venancio)
- Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre)
- Simplify code by making better use of llist primitives (Byungchul
Park)
- ... plus other fixes and improvements"

Find out if the I/O will trigger a wait due to writeback. If yes,
return -EAGAIN.
Return -EINVAL for buffered AIO: there are multiple causes of
delay such as page locks, dirty throttling logic, page loading
from disk etc. which cannot be taken care of.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:
struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry
For example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.
