From 0201ebf274a306a6ebb95e5dc2d6a0a27c737cac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2023 11:48:51 +0100 Subject: mm: merge folio_has_private()/filemap_release_folio() call pairs Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio removed from pagecache", v7. This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't have in the pagecache. The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache (aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache. The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper, folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required. The second patch is the actual fix. Following Willy's suggestions[1], it adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make filemap_release_folio() always call ->release_folio(), even if PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set. folio_needs_release() is altered to add a check for this. This patch (of 2): Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private(). Then, in most cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair. There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be done. In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but filemap_release_folio() elides two of them. In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily. A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory. This will acquire additional parts to the condition in a future patch. After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of mm/ is a check in fuse.
