wb_calc_thresh() is calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the global
domain. However in case of cgroup writeback this is not the right
thing to do. Consider the following domain hierarchy:
global domain (> 20G)
/ \
cgroup1 (10G) cgroup2 (10G)
| |
bdi wb1 wb2
and assume wb1 and wb2 have the same bandwidth and the background
threshold is set at 10%. The bg_thresh of cgroup1 and cgroup2 is going
to be 1G. Now because wb_calc_thresh(mdtc->wb, mdtc->bg_thresh)
calculates per-wb threshold in the global domain as (wb bandwidth) /
(domain bandwidth) it returns bg_thresh for wb1 as 0.5G although it has
nobody to compete against in cgroup1.
Fix the problem by calculating wb's share of bg_thresh in the cgroup
domain.
Test as following:
/* make it easier to observe the issue */
echo 300000 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
/* run fio in wb1 */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /bdi1/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi1/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
/* run fio in wb2 with a new shell */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir group2
cd group2
echo 10G > memory.high
echo 10G > memory.max
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc
mount /dev/vdc /bdi2/
fio -name test -filename=/bdi2/file -size=600M -ioengine=libaio -bs=4K \
-iodepth=1 -rw=write -direct=0 --time_based -runtime=600 -invalidate=0
Before fix, the wrttien pages of wb1 and wb2 reported from
toos/writeback/wb_monitor.py keep growing. After fix, rare written pages
are accumulated.
There is no obvious change in fio result.

Patch series "Fix and cleanups to page-writeback", v2.
This series contains some random cleanups and a fix to correct calculation
of wb's bg_thresh in cgroup domain. More details can be found respective
patches.
This patch (of 4):
Originally, __wb_calc_thresh always calculate wb's share of dirty
throttling threshold. By getting thresh of wb_domain from caller,
__wb_calc_thresh could be used for both dirty throttling and dirty
background threshold.
This is a preparation to correct threshold calculation of wb in cgroup.

Patch series "Improve buffer head documentation", v3.
Turn buffer head documentation into its own document, and make many
general improvements to the docs. Obviously there is much more that could
be done. Tested with make htmldocs.
This patch (of 8):
I've learned why it's safe to call __folio_mark_dirty() from
mark_buffer_dirty() without holding the folio lock, so update the
description to explain why.

Refactor the code left in write_cache_pages into an iterator that the file
system can call to get the next folio for a writeback operation:
struct folio *folio = NULL;
while ((folio = writeback_iter(mapping, wbc, folio, &error))) {
error = <do per-folio writeback>;
}
The twist here is that the error value is passed by reference, so that the
iterator can restore it when breaking out of the loop.
Handling of the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE value stays outside the
iterator and needs is just kept in the write_cache_pages legacy wrapper.
in preparation for eventually killing it off.
Heavily based on a for_each* based iterator from Matthew Wilcox.

Collapse the two nested loops into one. This is needed as a step towards
turning this into an iterator.
Note that this drops the "index <= end" check in the previous outer loop
and just relies on filemap_get_folios_tag() to return 0 entries when index
> end. This actually has a subtle implication when end == -1 because then
the returned index will be -1 as well and thus if there is page present on
index -1, we could be looping indefinitely. But as the comment in
filemap_get_folios_tag documents this as already broken anyway we should
not worry about it here either. The fix for that would probably a change
to the filemap_get_folios_tag() calling convention.

Rework the way we deal with the cleanup after the writepage call.
First handle the magic AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE separately from real error
returns to get it out of the way of the actual error handling path.
The split the handling on intgrity vs non-integrity branches first, and
return early using a goto for the non-ingegrity early loop condition to
remove the need for the done and done_index local variables, and for
assigning the error to ret when we can just return error directly.

mapping->writeback_index is only [1] used as the starting point for
range_cyclic writeback, so there is no point in updating it for other
types of writeback.

When exiting write_cache_pages early due to a non-integrity write failure,
wbc->nr_to_write currently doesn't account for the folio we just failed to

a failure, but moving the update to common code will allow to simplify the

When write_cache_pages finishes writing out a folio, it fails to update
done_index to account for the number of pages in the folio just written.
That means when range_cyclic writeback is restarted, it will be restarted
at this folio instead of after it as it should. Fix that by updating
done_index before breaking out of the loop.

Patch series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator", v8.
This is an evolution of the series Matthew Wilcox originally sent in June
2023, which has changed quite a bit since and now has a while based
iterator.
This patch (of 14):
mapping_set_error should only be called on 0 returns (which it ignores) or
a negative error code.
writepage_cb ends up being able to call writepage_cb on the magic
AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE return value from ->writepage which means success
but the caller needs to unlock the page. Ignore that and just call
mapping_set_error on negative errors.
(no fixes tag as this goes back more than 20 years over various renames
and refactors so I've given up chasing down the original introduction)

nvme: move passthrough logging attribute to head
blk-wbt: Fix detection of dirty-throttled tasks
nvme-host: fix the updating of the firmware version
The detection of dirty-throttled tasks in blk-wbt has been subtly broken
since its beginning in 2016. Namely if we are doing cgroup writeback and
the throttled task is not in the root cgroup, balance_dirty_pages() will
set dirty_sleep for the non-root bdi_writeback structure. However
blk-wbt checks dirty_sleep only in the root cgroup bdi_writeback
structure. Thus detection of recently throttled tasks is not working in
this case (we noticed this when we switched to cgroup v2 and suddently
writeback was slow).
Since blk-wbt has no easy way to get to proper bdi_writeback and
furthermore its intention has always been to work on the whole device
rather than on individual cgroups, just move the dirty_sleep timestamp
from bdi_writeback to backing_dev_info. That fixes the checking for
recently throttled task and saves memory for everybody as a bonus.

(struct dirty_throttle_control *)->thresh is an unsigned long, but is
passed as the u32 divisor argument to div_u64(). On architectures where
unsigned long is 64 bytes, the argument will be implicitly truncated.
Use div64_u64() instead of div_u64() so that the value used in the "is
this a safe division" check is the same as the divisor.
Also, remove redundant cast of the numerator to u64, as that should happen
implicitly.
This would be difficult to exploit in memcg domain, given the ratio-based
arithmetic domain_drity_limits() uses, but is much easier in global
writeback domain with a BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT-backing device, using e.g.
vm.dirty_bytes=(1<<32)*PAGE_SIZE so that dtc->thresh == (1<<32)

folio_wait_stable waits for writeback to finish before modifying the
contents of a folio again, e.g. to support check summing of the data
in the block integrity code.
Currently this behavior is controlled by the SB_I_STABLE_WRITES flag
on the super_block, which means it is uniform for the entire file system.
This is wrong for the block device pseudofs which is shared by all
block devices, or file systems that can use multiple devices like XFS
witht the RT subvolume or btrfs (although btrfs currently reimplements
folio_wait_stable anyway).
Add a per-address_space AS_STABLE_WRITES flag to control the behavior
in a more fine grained way. The existing SB_I_STABLE_WRITES is kept
to initialize AS_STABLE_WRITES to the existing default which covers
most cases.

nr_to_write is a count of pages, so we need to decrease it by the number
of pages in the folio we just wrote, not by 1. Most callers specify
either LONG_MAX or 1, so are unaffected, but writeback_sb_inodes() might
end up writing 512x as many pages as it asked for.
Dave added:
: XFS is the only filesystem this would affect, right? AFAIA, nothing

: write_cache_pages() at this point...

The last remaining user of folio_write_one through the write_one_page
wrapper is jfs, so move the functionality there and hard code the
call to metapage_writepage.
Note that the use of the pagecache by the JFS 'metapage' buffer cache
is a bit odd, and we could probably do without VM-level dirty tracking
at all, but that's a change for another time.

Patch series "Convert writepage_t to use a folio".
More folioisation. I split out the mpage work from everything else
because it completely dominated the patch, but some implementations I just
converted outright.
This patch (of 2):
We always write back an entire folio, but that's currently passed as the
head page. Convert all filesystems that use write_cache_pages() to expect
a folio instead of a page.

Convert function to use folios throughout. This is in preparation for the
removal of find_get_pages_range_tag(). This change removes 8 calls to
compound_head(), and the function now supports large folios.

zap_page_range was originally designed to unmap pages within an address
range that could span multiple vmas. While working on [1], it was
discovered that all callers of zap_page_range pass a range entirely within
a single vma. In addition, the mmu notification call within zap_page
range does not correctly handle ranges that span multiple vmas. When
crossing a vma boundary, a new mmu_notifier_range_init/end call pair with
the new vma should be made.
Instead of fixing zap_page_range, do the following:
- Create a new routine zap_vma_pages() that will remove all pages within
the passed vma. Most users of zap_page_range pass the entire vma and
can use this new routine.
- For callers of zap_page_range not passing the entire vma, instead call
zap_page_range_single().
- Remove zap_page_range.

Deactivate_page() has already been converted to use folios, this change
converts it to take in a folio argument instead of calling page_folio().
It also renames the function folio_deactivate() to be more consistent with
other folio functions.

This adds a function to return the specified value for min_bytes. It
converts the stored min_ratio of the bdi to the corresponding bytes
value. This is an approximation as it is based on the value that is
returned by global_dirty_limits(), which can change. The returned
value can be different than the value when the min_bytes value was set.
