Yosry Ahmed 2816ea2abf writeback: move wb_over_bg_thresh() call outside lock section
Patch series "cgroup: eliminate atomic rstat flushing", v5.

A previous patch series [1] changed most atomic rstat flushing contexts to
become non-atomic.  This was done to avoid an expensive operation that
scales with # cgroups and # cpus to happen with irqs disabled and
scheduling not permitted.  There were two remaining atomic flushing
contexts after that series.  This series tries to eliminate them as well,
eliminating atomic rstat flushing completely.

The two remaining atomic flushing contexts are:
(a) wb_over_bg_thresh()->mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
(b) mem_cgroup_threshold()->mem_cgroup_usage()

For (a), flushing needs to be atomic as wb_writeback() calls
wb_over_bg_thresh() with a spinlock held.  However, it seems like the call
to wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't need to be protected by that spinlock, so
this series proposes a refactoring that moves the call outside the lock
criticial section and makes the stats flushing in mem_cgroup_wb_stats()
non-atomic.

For (b), flushing needs to be atomic as mem_cgroup_threshold() is called
with irqs disabled.  We only flush the stats when calculating the root
usage, as it is approximated as the sum of some memcg stats (file, anon,
and optionally swap) instead of the conventional page counter.  This
series proposes changing this calculation to use the global stats instead,
eliminating the need for a memcg stat flush.

After these 2 contexts are eliminated, we no longer need
mem_cgroup_flush_stats_atomic() or cgroup_rstat_flush_atomic().  We can
remove them and simplify the code.

This patch (of 5):

wb_over_bg_thresh() calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() which invokes an rstat
flush, which can be expensive on large systems. Currently,
wb_writeback() calls wb_over_bg_thresh() within a lock section, so we
have to do the rstat flush atomically. On systems with a lot of
cpus and/or cgroups, this can cause us to disable irqs for a long time,
potentially causing problems.

Move the call to wb_over_bg_thresh() outside the lock section in
preparation to make the rstat flush in mem_cgroup_wb_stats() non-atomic.
The list_empty(&wb->work_list) check should be okay outside the lock
section of wb->list_lock as it is protected by a separate lock
(wb->work_lock), and wb_over_bg_thresh() doesn't seem like it is
modifying any of wb->b_* lists the wb->list_lock is protecting.
Also, the loop seems to be already releasing and reacquring the
lock, so this refactoring looks safe.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() traverses &bdi->wb_list to split work into all
wbs.  If the allocation of new work fails, the on-stack fallback will be
used and the reference count of the current wb is increased afterwards. 
If cgroup writeback membership switches occur before getting the reference
count and the current wb is released as old_wd, then calling wb_get() or
wb_put() will trigger the null pointer dereference above.

This issue was introduced in v4.3-rc7 (see fix tag1).  Both
sync_inodes_sb() and __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() calls to
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() can trigger this issue.  For scenarios called via
sync_inodes_sb(), originally commit 7fc5854f8c ("writeback: synchronize
sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switches") reduced the
possibility of the issue by adding wb_switch_rwsem, but in v5.14-rc1 (see
fix tag2) removed the "inode_io_list_del_locked(inode, old_wb)" from
inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() so that wb->state contains WB_has_dirty_io,
thus old_wb is not skipped when traversing wbs in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and the issue becomes easily reproducible again.

To solve this problem, percpu_ref_exit() is called under RCU protection to
avoid race between cgwb_release_workfn() and bdi_split_work_to_wbs(). 
Moreover, replace wb_get() with wb_tryget() in bdi_split_work_to_wbs(),
and skip the current wb if wb_tryget() fails because the wb has already
been shutdown.

Jan Kara a9438b44bc writeback: Add asserts for adding freed inode to lists
In the past we had several use-after-free issues with inodes getting
added to writeback lists after evict() removed them. These are painful
to debug so add some asserts to catch the problem earlier. The only
non-obvious change in the commit is that we need to tweak
redirty_tail_locked() to avoid triggering assertion in
inode_io_list_move_locked().

Svyatoslav Feldsherov 4e3c51f4e8 fs: do not update freeing inode i_io_list
After commit cbfecb927f ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeback_single_inode can push inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happen after deletion of inode from i_io_list
at evict. Stack trace is following.

evict
fat_evict_inode
fat_truncate_blocks
fat_flush_inodes
writeback_inode
sync_inode_metadata(inode, sync=0)
writeback_single_inode(inode, wbc) <- wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE

This will lead to use after free in flusher thread.

Similar issue can be triggered if writeback_single_inode in the
stack trace update inode->i_io_list. Add explicit check to avoid it.

Lukas Czerner cbfecb927f fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE
Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME.  That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
->dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.

The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.

Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.

Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

Khazhismel Kumykov f87904c075 writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device
When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete.  However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.

Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.

Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

things protected by inode->i_lock. This also fixes a race where
__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands

Jing Xia 846a3351dd writeback: Avoid skipping inode writeback
We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing.
The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots
of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background
writeback cannot writeback the inode.
After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead
to the issue:

task1                                   task2
-----                                   -----

                                  filemap_dirty_folio
                                   __xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
    lock inode->i_lock
    if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
    inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES
    unlock inode->i_lock
                                   __mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES
                                      lock inode->i_lock
                                      -was dirty,inode stays in
                                      -b_dirty_time
                                      unlock inode->i_lock

   if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All))
      -not true,so nothing done

This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode
currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of
writeback_single_inode.

PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8e ("mm:
vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim").

Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()"
deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which
took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE.  But if you study the old logic, and the
conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that
flag and function have been pointless for a decade.

NeilBrown fe55d563d4 remove inode_congested()
inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is
congested.  No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns
'false'.

So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call
sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.

Merge tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
 "This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
  cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
  what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
  state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.

  The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
  fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
  driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
  with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.

  The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
  attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
  filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
  documentation.

  [!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
      caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
      working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
      seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
      xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
      merge window.

  WHY REWRITE?
  ============

  Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
  of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
  asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
  network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
  offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.

  With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
  opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
  to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
  create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
  attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
  upon completion.

  Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
  AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
  hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
  first.

  These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
  operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
  order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
  a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
  simplify the indexing structure.

  I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
  by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
  fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
  then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
  into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
  a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
  "afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
  and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.

  I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
  filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
  the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
  actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
  netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.

  These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
  before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
  code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
  try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
  point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
  point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
  be in use by two drivers at once.

  ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
  ======================

  There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
  that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
  series from being usable:

  (1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
      metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
      populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
      filesystems.

      Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
      negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
      data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...

  (2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
      the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
      requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
      was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
      granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
      did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
      deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
      track its contents.

      The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
      content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
      correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
      an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
      means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
      and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
      grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
      careful.

      However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
      and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
      managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
      things - which brings me on to (3)...

  (3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
      caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
      as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
      file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
      addressed.

  BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
  ==============================

  There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:

  (1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
      if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
      (e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
      reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
      prevent accidental data corruption.

      I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
      quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.

      Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
      perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
      being rmdir-able).

  (2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
      we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
      The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
      its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
      file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
      to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems.

      Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being
      done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will
      oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to
      access current->fs or suchlike.

      To get around this, I added the following:

      (A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network
          filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the
          cookie caching that inode.

      (B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that
          is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty
          page from i_pages - at which point it clears
          I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag.

          This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB
          can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
          that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES.

      (C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set,
          sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to
          pin the cache resources.

      (D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by
          ->write_inode() to unuse the cookie.

      (E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when
          the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This
          cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.

      The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
      fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the
      cache as well as to the server.

      For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that
      should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the
      dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and
      is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since
      it deals with pages"

David Howells 08276bdae6 vfs, fscache: Implement pinning of cache usage for writeback
Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it.  However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.

Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit().  Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.

To get around this, I added the following:

 (1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
     inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
     that inode.

 (2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
     when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
     i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this
     flag.

     This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB can be
     done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY that clears
     I_DIRTY_PAGES.

 (3) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set, sets
     I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
     resources.

 (4) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by ->write_inode()
     to unuse the cookie.

 (5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the
     inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called.  This cleans up any
     lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.

The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the cache as
well as to the server.

Len Baker 98b160c828 writeback: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes,
and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially
multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar)
function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead
to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the
caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear
overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors.

In this case these are not actually dynamic sizes: all the operands
involved in the calculation are constant values. However it is better to
refactor them anyway, just to keep the open-coded math idiom out of
code.

So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the
argument "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() functions.

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed
manually.

Shakeel Butt 7490a2d248 writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id
Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty
pages for a memcg.  However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than
just get the number of dirty pages.  Just directly get the number of dirty
pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats().  Also
cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so
remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg
stats.

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback().  However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g.  from fsync(2).  Make sure writeback estimates happen
reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().

Jan Kara 633a2abb9e writeback: track number of inodes under writeback
Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4.

Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing
writeback.  Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g.
generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as
a result writeback on the device is practically stalled.

The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches
are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code.

This patch (of 4):

Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure.
We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate
its writeback throughput.  In principle we could use number of pages under
writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter
reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too
expensive.

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.

This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are
never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.

Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.

Roman Gushchin c22d70a162 writeback, cgroup: release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes
Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to
the nearest living ancestor wb.  It helps to get rid of per-cgroup
writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups,
which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu
statistics data).  This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different
scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups.

Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode
detection.  To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single
operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct
inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes).  Because every
switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would
be too slow without batching.  Please note that the whole batch counts as
a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight).  This
allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however
prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively
blocking the frn switching.

A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g.  not
enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in
a wrong state, etc).  In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a
new attempt.  An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in
other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user).  In the future
an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

Roman Gushchin f5fbe6b7ad writeback, cgroup: support switching multiple inodes at once
Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback
structure at once.  That means to switch an inode a separate
inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu
callback and work must be scheduled.

It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that
often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release
a writeback structure.  To prepare for it, let's add a support for
switching multiple inodes at once.

Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context
will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers.
inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode.

To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's
list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all
inodes.  wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once.  Instead of calling
wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced
and used.

Roman Gushchin f3b6a6df38 writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writeback
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific
cgwb structure.  It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the
writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup
structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be
prohibitively expensive.

While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the
bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time.  Once
cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists.  So the inode->i_io_list can
be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback
structure.

This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes
which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb.  Inodes
attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such
list.  The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs
structures more efficiently.

Roman Gushchin 29264d92a0 writeback, cgroup: switch to rcu_work API in inode_switch_wbs()
Inode's wb switching requires two steps divided by an RCU grace period.
It's currently implemented as an RCU callback inode_switch_wbs_rcu_fn(),
which schedules inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() as a work.

Switching to the rcu_work API allows to do the same in a cleaner and
slightly shorter form.

Roman Gushchin 8826ee4fe7 writeback, cgroup: increment isw_nr_in_flight before grabbing an inode
isw_nr_in_flight is used to determine whether the inode switch queue
should be flushed from the umount path.  Currently it's increased after
grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work.  It means the
umount path can walk past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active inode
references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount." message and
use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed).

Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with the
inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled.

The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered by
Jan Kara by looking into the code.

Roman Gushchin 4ade5867b4 writeback, cgroup: do not switch inodes with I_WILL_FREE flag
Patch series "cgroup, blkcg: prevent dirty inodes to pin dying memory cgroups", v9.

When an inode is getting dirty for the first time it's associated with a
wb structure (see __inode_attach_wb()).  It can later be switched to
another wb (if e.g.  some other cgroup is writing a lot of data to the
same inode), but otherwise stays attached to the original wb until being
reclaimed.

The problem is that the wb structure holds a reference to the original
memory and blkcg cgroups.  So if an inode has been dirty once and later is
actively used in read-only mode, it has a good chance to pin down the
original memory and blkcg cgroups forever.  This is often the case with
services bringing data for other services, e.g.  updating some rpm
packages.

In the real life it becomes a problem due to a large size of the memcg
structure, which can easily be 1000x larger than an inode.  Also a really
large number of dying cgroups can raise different scalability issues, e.g.
making the memory reclaim costly and less effective.

To solve the problem inodes should be eventually detached from the
corresponding writeback structure.  It's inefficient to do it after every
writeback completion.  Instead it can be done whenever the original memory
cgroup is offlined and writeback structure is getting killed.  Scanning
over a (potentially long) list of inodes and detach them from the
writeback structure can take quite some time.  To avoid scanning all
inodes, attached inodes are kept on a new list (b_attached).  To make it
less noticeable to a user, the scanning and switching is performed from a
work context.

Big thanks to Jan Kara, Dennis Zhou, Hillf Danton and Tejun Heo for their
ideas and contribution to this patchset.

This patch (of 8):

If an inode's state has I_WILL_FREE flag set, the inode will be freed
soon, so there is no point in trying to switch the inode to a different
cgwb.

I_WILL_FREE was ignored since the introduction of the inode switching, so
it looks like it doesn't lead to any noticeable issues for a user.  This
is why the patch is not intended for a stable backport.

Muchun Song 8b0ed8443a writeback: fix obtain a reference to a freeing memcg css
The caller of wb_get_create() should pin the memcg, because
wb_get_create() relies on this guarantee. The rcu read lock
only can guarantee that the memcg css returned by css_from_id()
cannot be released, but the reference of the memcg can be zero.

  rcu_read_lock()
  memcg_css = css_from_id()
  wb_get_create(memcg_css)
      cgwb_create(memcg_css)
          // css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1
          css_get(memcg_css)
  rcu_read_unlock()

Fix it by holding a reference to the css before calling
wb_get_create(). This is not a problem I encountered in the
real world. Just the result of a code review.

zhangyi (F) 12e0613715 block_dump: remove block_dump feature in mark_inode_dirty()
block_dump is an old debugging interface, one of it's functions is used
to print the information about who write which file on disk. If we
enable block_dump through /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and turn on debug log
level, we can gather information about write process name, target file
name and disk from kernel message. This feature is realized in
block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(), it print above information into kernel
message directly when marking inode dirty, so it is noisy and can easily
trigger log storm. At the same time, get the dentry refcount is also not
safe, we found it will lead to deadlock on ext4 file system with
data=journal mode.

After tracepoints has been introduced into the kernel, we got a
tracepoint in __mark_inode_dirty(), which is a better replacement of
block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(). The only downside is that it only trace
the inode number and not a file name, but it probably doesn't matter
because the original printed file name in block_dump is not accurate in
some cases, and we can still find it through the inode number and device
id. So this patch delete the dirting inode part of block_dump feature.

Eric Biggers da0c4c60d8 fs: improve comments for writeback_single_inode()
Some comments for writeback_single_inode() and
__writeback_single_inode() are outdated or not very helpful, especially
with regards to writeback list handling.  Update them.

Eric Biggers 83dc881d67 fs: drop redundant check from __writeback_single_inode()
wbc->for_sync implies wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_ALL, so there's no need
to check for both.  Just check for WB_SYNC_ALL.

Eric Biggers 35d14f278e fs: clean up __mark_inode_dirty() a bit
Improve some comments, and don't bother checking for the I_DIRTY_TIME
flag in the case where we just cleared it.

Also, warn if I_DIRTY_TIME and I_DIRTY_PAGES are passed to
__mark_inode_dirty() at the same time, as this case isn't handled.
