2024-02-06block, fs: Restore the per-bio/request data lifetime fieldsBart Van Assche
Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f7697 ("block: Remove request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1aa ("block: remove the per-bio/request write hint"). This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied: /* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */ /* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */ /* last cacheline: 48 bytes */ Reviewed-by: Kanchan Joshi <joshi.k@samsung.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240202203926.2478590-7-bvanassche@acm.org Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

2023-12-29fs: reduce stack usage in do_mpage_readpageMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Some architectures support a very large PAGE_SIZE, so instead of the 8 pointers we see with a 4kB PAGE_SIZE, we can see 128 pointers with 64kB or so many on Hexagon that it trips compiler warnings about exceeding stack frame size. All we're doing with this array is checking for block contiguity, which we can as well do by remembering the address of the first block in the page and checking this block is at the appropriate offset from that address.

2023-12-29fs: remove clean_page_buffers()Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Patch series "Clean up the writeback paths". Most of these patches verge on the trivial, converting filesystems that just use block_write_full_page() to use mpage_writepages(). But as we saw with Christoph's earlier patchset, there can be some "interesting" gotchas, and I clearly haven't tested the majority of filesystems I've touched here. Patches 3 & 4 get rid of a lot of stack usage on architectures with larger page sizes; 1024 bytes on 64-bit systems with 64KiB pages. It starts to open the door to larger folio sizes on all architectures, but it's certainly not enough yet. Patch 14 is kind of trivial, but it's nice to get that simplification in. This patch (of 14): This function has been unused since the removal of bdev_write_page().

2023-02-02mpage: stop using bdev_{read,write}_pageChristoph Hellwig
Patch series "remove ->rw_page". This series removes the ->rw_page block_device_operation, which is an old and clumsy attempt at a simple read/write fast path for the block layer. It isn't actually used by the fastest block layer operations that we support (polled I/O through io_uring), but only used by the mpage buffered I/O helpers which are some of the slowest I/O we have and do not make any difference there at all, and zram which is a block device abused to duplicate the zram functionality. Given that zram is heavily used we need to make sure there is a good replacement for synchronous I/O, so this series adds a new flag for drivers that complete I/O synchronously and uses that flag to use on-stack bios and synchronous submission for them in the swap code. This patch (of 7): These are micro-optimizations for synchronous I/O, which do not matter compared to all the other inefficiencies in the legacy buffer_head based mpage code.

2023-01-26fs: gracefully handle ->get_block not mapping bh in __mpage_writepageJan Kara
When filesystem's ->get_block function does not map the buffer head when called from __mpage_writepage(), the function will happily go and pass bogus bdev and block number to bio allocation routines which leads to crashes sooner or later. E.g. UDF can do this because it doesn't want to allocate blocks from ->writepages callbacks. It allocates blocks on write or page fault but writeback can still spot dirty buffers without underlying blocks allocated e.g. if blocksize < pagesize, the tail page is dirtied (which means all its buffers are dirtied), and truncate extends the file so that some buffer starts to be within i_size.

2020-01-09fs: move guard_bio_eod() after bio_set_op_attrsMing Lei
Commit 85a8ce62c2ea ("block: add bio_truncate to fix guard_bio_eod") adds bio_truncate() for handling bio EOD. However, bio_truncate() doesn't use the passed 'op' parameter from guard_bio_eod's callers. So bio_trunacate() may retrieve wrong 'op', and zering pages may not be done for READ bio. Fixes this issue by moving guard_bio_eod() after bio_set_op_attrs() in submit_bh_wbc() so that bio_truncate() can always retrieve correct op info. Meantime remove the 'op' parameter from guard_bio_eod() because it isn't used any more.

Any file system that uses mpage_readpages() as its ->readpages() implementation will now get this right.

2018-08-17mpage: add argument structure for do_mpage_readpage()Jens Axboe
Patch series "Submit ->readpages() IO as read-ahead", v4. The only caller of ->readpages() is from read-ahead, yet we don't submit IO flagged with REQ_RAHEAD. This means we don't see it in blktrace, for instance, which is a shame. Additionally, it's preventing further functional changes in the block layer for deadling with read-ahead more intelligently. We already make assumptions about ->readpages() just being for read-ahead in the mpage implementation, using readahead_gfp_mask(mapping) as out GFP mask of choice. This small series fixes up mpage_readpages() to submit with REQ_RAHEAD, which takes care of file systems using mpage_readpages(). The first patch is a prep patch, that makes do_mpage_readpage() take an argument structure. This patch (of 4): We're currently passing 8 arguments to this function, clean it up a bit by packing the arguments in an args structure we pass to it. No intentional functional changes in this patch.

Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write isn't enough information.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.
