page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()
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 2d6d7f982846 ("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 46d2277c796f ("Clean up and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and 3e67c0987d75 ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit ecdfc9787fe5 ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f53 ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3 data=journal"). Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit 1b3b4a1a2deb ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()"). Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f1b ("Do dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.
