      block: add a bi_error field to struct bio · 4246a0b6
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
      
       (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
       (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
      
      The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
      error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
      when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
      bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
      available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
      and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
      them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
      of error returns.
      
      So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
      bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

      fix __swap_writepage() compile failure on old gcc versions · 05064084

      Let's do this instead: there is only one place in the entire tree that
      steps into this breakage.  Anon structs and unions work in older gcc
      versions; as the matter of fact, we have those in the tree - see e.g.
      struct ieee80211_tx_info in include/net/mac80211.h
      
      What doesn't work is handling their initializers:
      
      struct {
      	int a;
      	union {
      		int b;
      		char c;
      	};
      } x[2] = {{.a = 1, .c = 'a'}, {.a = 0, .b = 1}};
      
      is the obvious syntax for initializer, perfectly fine for C11 and
      handled correctly by gcc-4.7 or later.
      
      Earlier versions, though, break on it - declaration is fine and so's
      access to fields (i.e.  x[0].c = 'a'; would produce the right code), but
      members of the anon structs and unions are not inserted into the right
      namespace.  Tellingly, those older versions will not barf on struct {int
      a; struct {int a;};}; - looks like they just have it hacked up somewhere
      around the handling of .  and -> instead of doing the right thing.
      
      The easiest way to deal with that crap is to turn initialization of
      those fields (in the only place where we have such initializer of
      iov_iter) into plain assignment.

      mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory · b430e9d1
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be
      swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write.
      
      But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory
      space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition
      meet.  It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory
      swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone.
      
      This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is
      completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be
      written out the swap device to reclaim it.  It means we never lose it.

      mm: swap: mark swap pages writeback before queueing for direct IO · 0cdc444a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      As pointed out by Andrew Morton, the swap-over-NFS writeback is not
      setting PageWriteback before it is queued for direct IO.  While swap
      pages do not participate in BDI or process dirty accounting and the IO
      is synchronous, the writeback bit is still required and not setting it
      in this case was an oversight.  swapoff depends on the page writeback to
      synchronoise all pending writes on a swap page before it is reused.
      Swapcache freeing and reuse depend on checking the PageWriteback under
      lock to ensure the page is safe to reuse.
      
      Direct IO handlers and the direct IO handler for NFS do not deal with
      PageWriteback as they are synchronous writes.  In the case of NFS, it
      schedules pages (or a page in the case of swap) for IO and then waits
      synchronously for IO to complete in nfs_direct_write().  It is
      recognised that this is a slowdown from normal swap handling which is
      asynchronous and uses a completion handler.  Shoving PageWriteback
      handling down into direct IO handlers looks like a bad fit to handle the
      swap case although it may have to be dealt with some day if swap is
      converted to use direct IO in general and bmap is finally done away
      with.  At that point it will be necessary to refit asynchronous direct
      IO with completion handlers onto the swap subsystem.
      
      As swapcache currently depends on PageWriteback to protect against
      races, this patch sets PageWriteback under the page lock before queueing
      it for direct IO.  It is cleared when the direct IO handler returns.  IO
      errors are treated similarly to the direct-to-bio case except PageError
      is not set as in the case of swap-over-NFS, it is likely to be a
      transient error.
      
      It was asked what prevents such a page being reclaimed in parallel.
      With this patch applied, such a page will now be skipped (most of the
      time) or blocked until the writeback completes.  Reclaim checks
      PageWriteback under the page lock before calling try_to_free_swap and
      the page lock should prevent the page being requeued for IO before it is
      freed.
      
      This and Jerome's related patch should considered for -stable as far
      back as 3.6 when swap-over-NFS was introduced.

      swap: redirty page if page write fails on swap file · 2d30d31e
      Jerome Marchand 提交于
      Since commit 62c230bc ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate
      swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages"), swap_writepage()
      calls direct_IO on swap files.  However, in that case the page isn't
      redirtied if I/O fails, and is therefore handled afterwards as if it has
      been successfully written to the swap file, leading to memory corruption
      when the page is eventually swapped back in.
      
      This patch sets the page dirty when direct_IO() fails.  It fixes a
      memory corruption that happened while using swap-over-NFS.

      mm: allow for outstanding swap writeback accounting · 1eec6702
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      To prevent flooding the swap device with writebacks, frontswap backends
      need to count and limit the number of outstanding writebacks.  The
      incrementing of the counter can be done before the call to
      __swap_writepage().  However, the caller must receive a notification
      when the writeback completes in order to decrement the counter.
      
      To achieve this functionality, this patch modifies __swap_writepage() to
      take the bio completion callback function as an argument.
      
      end_swap_bio_write(), the normal bio completion function, is also made
      non-static so that code doing the accounting can call it after the
      accounting is done.
      
      There should be no behavioural change to existing code.

      mm: break up swap_writepage() for frontswap backends · 2f772e6c
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      swap_writepage() is currently where frontswap hooks into the swap write
      path to capture pages with the frontswap_store() function.  However, if
      a frontswap backend wants to "resume" the writeback of a page to the
      swap device, it can't call swap_writepage() as the page will simply
      reenter the backend.
      
      This patch separates swap_writepage() into a top and bottom half, the
      bottom half named __swap_writepage() to allow a frontswap backend, like
      zswap, to resume writeback beyond the frontswap_store() hook.
      
      __add_to_swap_cache() is also made non-static so that the page for which
      writeback is to be resumed can be added to the swap cache.

      mm: add support for direct_IO to highmem pages · 5a178119
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      The patch "mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use
      direct_IO for writing swap pages" added support for using direct_IO to
      write swap pages but it is insufficient for highmem pages.
      
      To support highmem pages, this patch kmaps() the page before calling the
      direct_IO() handler.  As direct_IO deals with virtual addresses an
      additional helper is necessary for get_kernel_pages() to lookup the struct
      page for a kmap virtual address.

      mm: swap: implement generic handler for swap_activate · a509bc1a
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      The version of swap_activate introduced is sufficient for swap-over-NFS
      but would not provide enough information to implement a generic handler.
      This patch shuffles things slightly to ensure the same information is
      available for aops->swap_activate() as is available to the core.
      
      No functionality change.

      mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages · 62c230bc
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Currently swapfiles are managed entirely by the core VM by using ->bmap to
      allocate space and write to the blocks directly.  This effectively ensures
      that the underlying blocks are allocated and avoids the need for the swap
      subsystem to locate what physical blocks store offsets within a file.
      
      If the swap subsystem is to use the filesystem information to locate the
      blocks, it is critical that information such as block groups, block
      bitmaps and the block descriptor table that map the swap file were
      resident in memory.  This patch adds address_space_operations that the VM
      can call when activating or deactivating swap backed by a file.
      
        int swap_activate(struct file *);
        int swap_deactivate(struct file *);
      
      The ->swap_activate() method is used to communicate to the file that the
      VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures such
      as reserving space in the underlying device, reserving memory for mempools
      and pinning information such as the block descriptor table in memory.  The
      ->swap_deactivate() method is called on sys_swapoff() if ->swap_activate()
      returned success.
      
      After a successful swapfile ->swap_activate, the swapfile is marked
      SWP_FILE and swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to
      sis->swap_file->f_mappings->a_ops using ->direct_io to write swapcache
      pages and ->readpage to read.
      
      It is perfectly possible that direct_IO be used to read the swap pages but
      it is an unnecessary complication.  Similarly, it is possible that
      ->writepage be used instead of direct_io to write the pages but filesystem
      developers have stated that calling writepage from the VM is undesirable
      for a variety of reasons and using direct_IO opens up the possibility of
      writing back batches of swap pages in the future.

      mm: frontswap: core swap subsystem hooks and headers · 38b5faf4
      Dan Magenheimer 提交于
      This patch, 2of4, contains the changes to the core swap subsystem.
      This includes:
      
      (1) makes available core swap data structures (swap_lock, swap_list and
      swap_info) that are needed by frontswap.c but we don't need to expose them
      to the dozens of files that include swap.h so we create a new swapfile.h
      just to extern-ify these and modify their declarations to non-static
      
      (2) adds frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct.  Frontswap_map
      points to vzalloc'ed one-bit-per-swap-page metadata that indicates
      whether the swap page is in frontswap or in the device and frontswap_pages
      counts how many pages are in frontswap.
      
      (3) adds hooks in the swap subsystem and extends try_to_unuse so that
      frontswap_shrink can do a "partial swapoff".
      
      Note that a failed frontswap_map allocation is safe... failure is noted
      by lack of "FS" in the subsequent printk.

      renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
      
      Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      mm: try_to_free_swap replaces remove_exclusive_swap_page · a2c43eed
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      remove_exclusive_swap_page(): its problem is in living up to its name.
      
      It doesn't matter if someone else has a reference to the page (raised
      page_count); it doesn't matter if the page is mapped into userspace
      (raised page_mapcount - though that hints it may be worth keeping the
      swap): all that matters is that there be no more references to the swap
      (and no writeback in progress).
      
      swapoff (try_to_unuse) has been removing pages from swapcache for years,
      with no concern for page count or page mapcount, and we used to have a
      comment in lookup_swap_cache() recognizing that: if you go for a page of
      swapcache, you'll get the right page, but it could have been removed from
      swapcache by the time you get page lock.
      
      So, give up asking for exclusivity: get rid of
      remove_exclusive_swap_page(), and remove_exclusive_swap_page_ref() and
      remove_exclusive_swap_page_count() which were spawned for the recent LRU
      work: replace them by the simpler try_to_free_swap() which just checks
      page_swapcount().
      
      Similarly, remove the page_count limitation from free_swap_and_count(),
      but assume that it's worth holding on to the swap if page is mapped and
      swap nowhere near full.  Add a vm_swap_full() test in free_swap_cache()?
      It would be consistent, but I think we probably have enough for now.

      mm: fix PageUptodate data race · 0ed361de
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      After running SetPageUptodate, preceeding stores to the page contents to
      actually bring it uptodate may not be ordered with the store to set the
      page uptodate.
      
      Therefore, another CPU which checks PageUptodate is true, then reads the
      page contents can get stale data.
      
      Fix this by having an smp_wmb before SetPageUptodate, and smp_rmb after
      PageUptodate.
      
      Many places that test PageUptodate, do so with the page locked, and this
      would be enough to ensure memory ordering in those places if
      SetPageUptodate were only called while the page is locked.  Unfortunately
      that is not always the case for some filesystems, but it could be an idea
      for the future.
      
      Also bring the handling of anonymous page uptodateness in line with that of
      file backed page management, by marking anon pages as uptodate when they
      _are_ uptodate, rather than when our implementation requires that they be
      marked as such.  Doing allows us to get rid of the smp_wmb's in the page
      copying functions, which were especially added for anonymous pages for an
      analogous memory ordering problem.  Both file and anonymous pages are
      handled with the same barriers.
      
      FAQ:
      Q. Why not do this in flush_dcache_page?
      A. Firstly, flush_dcache_page handles only one side (the smb side) of the
      ordering protocol; we'd still need smp_rmb somewhere. Secondly, hiding away
      memory barriers in a completely unrelated function is nasty; at least in the
      PageUptodate macros, they are located together with (half) the operations
      involved in the ordering. Thirdly, the smp_wmb is only required when first
      bringing the page uptodate, wheras flush_dcache_page should be called each time
      it is written to through the kernel mapping. It is logically the wrong place to
      put it.
      
      Q. Why does this increase my text size / reduce my performance / etc.
      A. Because it is adding the necessary instructions to eliminate the data-race.
      
      Q. Can it be improved?
      A. Yes, eg. if you were to create a rule that all SetPageUptodate operations
      run under the page lock, we could avoid the smp_rmb places where PageUptodate
      is queried under the page lock. Requires audit of all filesystems and at least
      some would need reworking. That's great you're interested, I'm eagerly awaiting
      your patches.
