      page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page() · b9ea2515
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
      account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters.  It's called from
      truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
      Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
      dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f98 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
      ongoing truncation").
      
      Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
      be handled by caller (either written or truncated).  This patch treats
      final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
      a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it.  If something removes
      dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
      data might be lost.
      
      Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
      here.
      
      cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant.  This is
      helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
      invalidation.
      
      The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c ("Clean up
      and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
      3e67c098 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
      try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
      ecdfc978 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
      v2.6.25 commit a2b34564 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
      data=journal").
      
      Custom fixes were introduced between these points.  NFS in v2.6.23, commit
      1b3b4a1a ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
      Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a692790 ("Do
      dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache").  Since
      v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.
