inode_cgwb_enabled() gates cgroup writeback support.  If it returns
true, each inode is attached to the corresponding memory domain which
gets mapped to io domain.  It currently only tests whether the
filesystem and bdi support cgroup writeback; however, cgroup writeback
support doesn't work on traditional hierarchies and thus it should
also test whether memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy.

This caused traditional hierarchy setups to hit the cgroup writeback
path inadvertently and ended up creating separate writeback domains
for each memcg and mapping them all to the root iocg uncovering a
couple issues in the cgroup writeback path.

cgroup writeback was never meant to be enabled on traditional
hierarchies.  Make inode_cgwb_enabled() test whether both memcg and
iocg are on the default hierarchy.

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest.  In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.

Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes.  cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.

As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io".  This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.

As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot.  On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

wb's (bdi_writeback's) are currently keyed by memcg ID; however, in an
earlier implementation, wb's were keyed by blkcg ID.
bdi_for_each_wb() walks bdi->cgwb_tree in the ascending ID order and
allows iterations to start from an arbitrary ID which is used to
interrupt and resume iterations.

Unfortunately, while changing wb to be keyed by memcg ID instead of
blkcg, bdi_for_each_wb() was missed and is still assuming that wb's
are keyed by blkcg ID.  This doesn't affect iterations which don't get
interrupted but bdi_split_work_to_wbs() makes use of iteration
resuming on allocation failures and thus may incorrectly skip or
repeat wb's.

Fix it by changing bdi_for_each_wb() to take memcg IDs instead of
blkcg IDs and updating bdi_split_work_to_wbs() accordingly.

52ebea74 ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific
bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's
(bdi_writeback's).  As the congested state needs to be per-wb and
referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all
non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and
indexed on bdi.

When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.

To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's
to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated
bdi.  This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root
cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting
dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed.

This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's.  They
are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during
bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way.

* As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested
  initialization is moved into wb_init().

* When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting.
  bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong
  allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are
  implemented.

* The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on
  CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK.  root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().

This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior
differences but prepares for the actual fix.

FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK indicates whether a file_system_type supports
cgroup writeback; however, different super_blocks of the same
file_system_type may or may not support cgroup writeback depending on
filesystem options.  This patch replaces FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK with a
per-super_block flag.

super_block->s_flags carries some internal flags in the high bits but
it's exposd to userland through uapi header and running out of space
anyway.  This patch adds a new field super_block->s_iflags to carry
kernel-internal flags.  It is currently only used by the new
SB_I_CGROUPWB flag whose concatenated and abbreviated name is for
consistency with other super_block flags.

ext2_fill_super() is updated to set SB_I_CGROUPWB.

With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction.  This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.

This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily.  There are three
exceptions.

* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
  wb may not be the inode's.  Ensuring that is the function's role
  after all.  Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.

* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
  of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock().  Updated to deref inode->i_wb
  directly.

* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
  starting the transaction.  Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
  inode->i_wb directly.

v5: might_lock() removed.  It annotates that the lock is grabbed w/
    irq enabled which isn't the case and triggering lockdep warning
    spuriously.

The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place.  This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.

This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions.  First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode.  Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.

The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively.  As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.

This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg.  Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end().  During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.

In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.

This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.

v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
    mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.

v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
    Function names and comments updated accordingly.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection.  wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.

This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back.  IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves.  This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user.  The function is removed.

wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback).  Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection.  The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.

As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.

v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
    wb before dereferencing it.  This can happen when pageout() is
    writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
    path.  As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
    be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
    actual writing to the usual writeback path.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes.  For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account.  If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.

To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1.  bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.

While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
difference.

bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero.  Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track.  For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.

This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()).  All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep
track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using
the new WB_has_dirty_io flag.  inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return
value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before.

mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of
inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake

In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to
determine whether more IOs should be issued.  With cgroup writeback
support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi
(backing_dev_info).  It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi
support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.

This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback.  The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places
where the query is about specific inode and task.

There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback).  This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).

On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg.  This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg.  This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg.  As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state.  This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.

bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task.  Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id.  Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().

Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.

v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
    mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
    Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed.  Both

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for

wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bandwidth related fields from backing_dev_info into
bdi_writeback.

* The moved fields are: bw_time_stamp, dirtied_stamp, written_stamp,
  write_bandwidth, avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit,
  balanced_dirty_ratelimit, completions and dirty_exceeded.

* writeback_chunk_size() and over_bground_thresh() now take @wb
  instead of @bdi.

* bdi_writeout_fraction(bdi, ...)	-> wb_writeout_fraction(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limit(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limit(wb, ...)
  bdi_position_ration(bdi, ...)		-> wb_position_ratio(wb, ...)

  bdi_{max|min}_pause(bdi, ...)		-> wb_{max|min}_pause(wb, ...)
  bdi_dirty_limits(bdi, ...)		-> wb_dirty_limits(wb, ...)

* Init/exits of the relocated fields are moved to bdi_wb_init/exit()
  respectively.  Note that explicit zeroing is dropped in the process
  as wb's are cleared in entirety anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.

It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL.  This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
   blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
  Commit: 6cd18e71 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")

So this isn't wanted.

It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio().  This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.

Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.

So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
  writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode.  This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode.  The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.

This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.

For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table.  The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives.  Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

Now that default_backing_dev_info is not used for writeback purposes we can
git rid of it easily:

 - instead of using it's name for tracing unregistered bdi we just use
   "unknown"
 - btrfs and ceph can just assign the default read ahead window themselves
   like several other filesystems already do.
 - we can assign noop_backing_dev_info as the default one in alloc_super.
   All filesystems already either assigned their own or
   noop_backing_dev_info.

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.

Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead.  Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device.  It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

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.

After commit 839a8e86 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.

This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.

Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by
unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before
throttling.  For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi
counters against bdi limits.  I.e.  even if global "nr_dirty" is under
"freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks.  The only use case for now
is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators
are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded.

The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag.  A
filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI.

The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to
the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e.  number of pages under fuse
writeback).  The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page
(by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately.  A fuse request queued
for real processing bears a copy of original page.  Hence, if userspace
fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an
aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary
fuse page copies.  They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but
nobody cares.

To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP
problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount
of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process
writeback".

The problem was very easy to reproduce.  There is a trivial example
filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c.  I
added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it.
Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which
mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region.  An
hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback.  Since
then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to
reproduce, but it is still possible now.

Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another
thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users.  This is write-through
page cache policy FUSE currently uses.  I.e.  handling write(2), kernel
fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server
synchronously.  This is excessively suboptimal.  Pavel Emelyanov's patches
("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving
NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary.  Otherwise, simply copying
a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation.  Miklos,
the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go.

And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for
strictlimit feature.  Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine
with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain.  Let's make simple
computations.  Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of
balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes
dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM).  So, the command "cp 9GB_file
/media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent
"umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective
throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec.

After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob
(e.g.  /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand.
Manually or via udev rule.  May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a
natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are
not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).

Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated
with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically.  The
worker thread for the default bdi is always present and serves as the
"forker" thread which forks off worker threads for other bdis.

there's no reason for writeback to implement its own worker pool when
using unbound workqueue instead is much simpler and more efficient.
This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback
with an unbound workqueue.

The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth
mentioning.

* bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed.
  delayed_work ->dwork is added instead.  Explicit timer handling is
  no longer necessary.  Everything works by either queueing / modding
  / flushing / canceling the delayed_work item.

* bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off
  bdi_writeback->dwork.  On each execution, it processes
  bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to
  do.

  The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be
  handled by the forker thread.  If the function is running off a
  rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that
  the rescuer can serve other bdis too.  This preserves the flusher
  creation failure behavior of the forker thread.

* INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell
  bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it
  always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer.  Note
  that the original code was broken in this regard.  Under memory
  pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty
  work_list.

* The default bdi is no longer special.  It now is treated the same as
  any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed.

* BDI_pending is no longer used.  Removed.

* Some tracepoints become non-applicable.  The following TPs are
  removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread,
  writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start,
  writeback_thread_stop.

Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer
operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my
test setup.
