      mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers · a7c3e901
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
      
      There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
      tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
      the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
      a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
      part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
      invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
      which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
      fallback is available.
      
      As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
      knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
      strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
      subsystem proper.
      
      Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
      instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
      in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
      was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

      This patch (of 9):
      
      Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
      common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
      for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
      really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
      it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
      a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
      to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
      killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
      user visible action.
      
      This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
      are specific for them.  In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
      ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
      require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
      (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL).  Those need to be
      fixed separately.
      
      While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
      mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
      kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
      superset) flags to catch new abusers.  Existing ones would have to die
      slowly.

      block: Rename blk_queue_zone_size and bdev_zone_size · f99e8648
      Damien Le Moal 提交于
      All block device data fields and functions returning a number of 512B
      sectors are by convention named xxx_sectors while names in the form
      xxx_size are generally used for a number of bytes. The blk_queue_zone_size
      and bdev_zone_size functions were not following this convention so rename
      them.
      
      No functional change is introduced by this patch.

      f2fs: fix 32-bit build · 19c52651
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The addition of multiple-device support broke CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED
      on 32-bit machines because of a 64-bit division:
      
      fs/f2fs/f2fs.o: In function `__issue_discard_async':
      extent_cache.c:(.text.__issue_discard_async+0xd4): undefined reference to `__aeabi_uldivmod'
      
      Fortunately, bdev_zone_size() is guaranteed to return a power-of-two
      number, so we can replace the % operator with a cheaper bit mask.

      f2fs: don't wait writeback for datas during checkpoint · 36951b38
      Chao Yu 提交于
      Normally, while committing checkpoint, we will wait on all pages to be
      writebacked no matter the page is data or metadata, so in scenario where
      there are lots of data IO being submitted with metadata, we may suffer
      long latency for waiting writeback during checkpoint.
      
      Indeed, we only care about persistence for pages with metadata, but not
      pages with data, as file system consistent are only related to metadate,
      so in order to avoid encountering long latency in above scenario, let's
      recognize and reference metadata in submitted IOs, wait writeback only
      for metadatas.

      f2fs: fix wrong written_valid_blocks counting · c79b7ff1
      Jaegeuk Kim 提交于
      Previously, written_valid_blocks was got by ckpt->valid_block_count. But if
      the last checkpoint has some NEW_ADDR due to power-cut, we can get wrong value.
      Fix it to get the number from actual written block count from sit entries.
