2016-02-27dax: move writeback calls into the filesystemsRoss Zwisler
Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems (ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time files. Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem ->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response to sync(2).

2016-01-23dax: add support for fsync/syncRoss Zwisler
To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track dirty pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand. The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file, and it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries. We build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix tree for DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

2016-01-23dax: support dirty DAX entries in radix treeRoss Zwisler
Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries. In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time. There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow) that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix trees for DAX mappings. The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the rest of DAX.

2016-01-16mm: differentiate page_mapped() from page_mapcount() for compound pagesKirill A. Shutemov
Let's define page_mapped() to be true for compound pages if any sub-pages of the compound page is mapped (with PMD or PTE). On other hand page_mapcount() return mapcount for this particular small page. This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we allow huge pages to be mapped with PTE. Most users outside core-mm should use page_mapcount() instead of page_mapped(). Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-16memcg: adjust to support new THP refcountingKirill A. Shutemov
As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or PTE. We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page. The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This should be good enough. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-16page-flags: define PG_locked behavior on compound pagesKirill A. Shutemov
lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed. This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions -- __set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON(). SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is correct. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix fs/cifs/file.c] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15mm: allow GFP_{FS,IO} for page_cache_read page cache allocationMichal Hocko
page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault. This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally. ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim. There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure is propagated up the page fault path and end up in pagefault_out_of_memory. We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different allocation context. Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO) because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have to respect those.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIMMel Gorman
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

2015-11-06mm/filemap.c: make global sync not clear error status of individual inodesJunichi Nomura
filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during writeback. The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2). However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl, which don't check error status of individual mappings. As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events happen in the following order: Application System admin ---------------------------------------------------------- write data on page cache Run sync command writeback completes with error filemap_fdatawait() clears error fsync returns success (but the data is not on disk) This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

2015-11-06mm: use only per-device readahead limitRoman Gushchin
Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values: 1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead()) 2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages) There are devices, which require custom readahead limit. For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices multiplied by chunk size times 2. Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value (POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size). If so, why do we need two limits? I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and use per-device readahead limit everywhere. Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly increase i/o performance: before: dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 12.9741 s, 808 MB/s after: $ dd if=/dev/md2 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=100 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 10485760000 bytes (10 GB) copied, 8.91317 s, 1.2 GB/s (It's an 8-disks RAID5 storage). This patch doesn't change sys_readahead and madvise(MADV_WILLNEED) behavior introduced by 6d2be915e589b58 ("mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages").

2015-10-23mm: make sendfile(2) killableJan Kara
Currently a simple program below issues a sendfile(2) system call which takes about 62 days to complete in my test KVM instance. int fd; off_t off = 0; fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644); ftruncate(fd, 2); lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END); sendfile(fd, fd, &off, 0xfffffff); Now you should not ask kernel to do a stupid stuff like copying 256MB in 2-byte chunks and call fsync(2) after each chunk but if you do, sysadmin should have a way to stop you. We actually do have a check for fatal_signal_pending() in generic_perform_write() which triggers in this path however because we always succeed in writing something before the check is done, we return value > 0 from generic_perform_write() and thus the information about signal gets lost. Fix the problem by doing the signal check before writing anything. That way generic_perform_write() returns -EINTR, the error gets propagated up and the sendfile loop terminates early.

2015-10-07Revert "fs: do not prefault sys_write() user buffer pages"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 998ef75ddb5709bbea0bf1506cd2717348a3c647. The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting rid of it). It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the underlying ext4 problem. We can (and should) revisit this for the next release. The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly. And the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space prefaulting noticeably more expensive.

2015-09-08mm: rename alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node()Vlastimil Babka
alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a81 ("page allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags. The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example commits 5265047ac301 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage allocation to local node") and b360edb43f8e ("mm, mempolicy: migrate_to_node should only migrate to node"). Another issue with the name is that there's a family of alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead of page order), which leads to more confusion. To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general usage. Both functions get described in comments. It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that __GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small anyway. Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent() which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously exposed. Both differences will be rectified by the next patch. To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose more existing buggy callers.

2015-09-08fs: do not prefault sys_write() user buffer pagesDave Hansen
=== Short summary ==== iov_iter_fault_in_readable() works around a really rare case and we can avoid the deadlock it addresses in another way: disable page faults and work around copy failures by faulting after the copy in a slow path instead of before in a hot one. I have a little microbenchmark that does repeated, small writes to tmpfs. This patch speeds that micro up by 6.2%. === Long version === When doing a sys_write() we have a source buffer in userspace and then a target file page. If both of those are the same physical page, there is a potential deadlock that we avoid. It would happen something like this: 1. We start the write to the file 2. Allocate page cache page and set it !Uptodate 3. Touch the userspace buffer to copy in the user data 4. Page fault (since source of the write not yet mapped) 5. Page fault code tries to lock the page and deadlocks (more details on this below) To avoid this, we prefault the page to guarantee that this fault does not occur. But, this prefault comes at a cost. It is one of the most expensive things that we do in a hot write() path (especially if we compare it to the read path). It is working around a pretty rare case. To fix this, it's pretty simple. We move the "prefault" code to run after we attempt the copy. We explicitly disable page faults _during_ the copy, detect the copy failure, then execute the "prefault" ouside of where the page lock needs to be held. iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() actually already has an implicit pagefault_disable() inside of it (at least on x86), but we add an explicit one. I don't think we can depend on every kmap_atomic() implementation to pagefault_disable() for eternity. =================================================== The stack trace when this happens looks like this: wait_on_page_bit_killable+0xc0/0xd0 __lock_page_or_retry+0x84/0xa0 filemap_fault+0x1ed/0x3d0 __do_fault+0x41/0xc0 handle_mm_fault+0x9bb/0x1210 __do_page_fault+0x17f/0x3d0 do_page_fault+0xc/0x10 page_fault+0x22/0x30 generic_perform_write+0xca/0x1a0 __generic_file_write_iter+0x190/0x1f0 ext4_file_write_iter+0xe9/0x460 __vfs_write+0xaa/0xe0 vfs_write+0xa6/0x1a0 SyS_write+0x46/0xa0 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a 0xffffffffffffffff (Note, this does *NOT* happen in practice today because the kmap_atomic() does a pagefault_disable(). The trace above was obtained by taking out the pagefault_disable().) You can trigger the deadlock with this little code snippet: fd = open("foo", O_RDWR); fdmap = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); write(fd, &fdmap[0], 1); Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew.r.wilcox@intel.com> Cc: Paul Cassella <cassella@cray.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-06-25mm: do not ignore mapping_gfp_mask in page cache allocation pathsMichal Hocko
page_cache_read, do_generic_file_read, __generic_file_splice_read and __ntfs_grab_cache_pages currently ignore mapping_gfp_mask when calling add_to_page_cache_lru which might cause recursion into fs down in the direct reclaim path if the mapping really relies on GFP_NOFS semantic. This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

2015-06-25hugetlb: do not account hugetlb pages as NR_FILE_PAGESMichal Hocko
hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the NR_FILE_PAGES accounting: - huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong - this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are special and not reclaimable - the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo (in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as nr_file_pages which is confusing at least: Cached: 8883504 kB HugePages_Free: 8348 ... Cached: 8916048 kB HugePages_Free: 156 ... thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or zone_pagecache_reclaimable. Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it is more robust to check for special casing there as well. Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting: - migration - we have a special handling via hugetlbfs_migrate_page - shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB - swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the previously exported number is simply bogus. An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks. First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the value would be even more misleading. __vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would have to do the same. So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me. It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I haven't checked the whole history.

2015-06-02writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat ↵Tejun Heo
updates The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb (bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the framework for the actual switching. This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates. The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another, the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together; unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu operations which are performed without holding any lock in some places. This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted, mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction. In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against mapping->tree_lock. This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching. v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order. v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too. Function names and comments updated accordingly. s/inode_wb_stat_unlocked_{begin|end}/unlocked_inode_to_wb_{begin|end}/ s/switch_wb/switch_wbs/ Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-06-02writeback: make writeback_control track the inode being written backTejun Heo
Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css(); however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO submission paths. This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio() instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed. wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating foreign inodes to other wb's. As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes, going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior changes. v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate actual writing to the usual writeback path.

2015-06-02memcg: add per cgroup dirty page accountingGreg Thelen
When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632 The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill messages). The ability to move page accounting between memcg (memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more complicated than the global counter. The existing mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move accounting with stat updates. Typical update operation: memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page) if (TestSetPageDirty()) { [...] mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg) } mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg) Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead: - Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op - With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just rcu_read_lock() - With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave() A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(). Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some adjustments are needed: - move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller. __mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled. - use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in __delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(), invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping(). text data bss dec hex filename 8925147 1774832 1785856 12485835 be84cb vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8925339 1774832 1785856 12486027 be858b vmlinux-!CONFIG_MEMCG-after +192 text bytes 8965977 1784992 1785856 12536825 bf4bf9 vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-before 8966750 1784992 1785856 12537598 bf4efe vmlinux-CONFIG_MEMCG-after +773 text bytes Performance tests run on v4.0-rc1-36-g4f671fe2f952.

2015-04-14page_writeback: clean up mess around cancel_dirty_page()Konstantin Khlebnikov
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.

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe: "This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits. Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the lustre backing_dev_info from staging.

2014-12-29mm: get rid of radix tree gfp mask for pagecache_get_pageMichal Hocko
Commit 2457aec63745 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations. Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it is error prone, it is also buggy currently because grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks. This is the case for most filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree. Just make sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g. do not pass __GFP_WRITE). Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this interface even further.

2014-12-13mm: convert i_mmap_mutex to rwsemDavidlohr Bueso
The i_mmap_mutex is a close cousin of the anon vma lock, both protecting similar data, one for file backed pages and the other for anon memory. To this end, this lock can also be a rwsem. In addition, there are some important opportunities to share the lock when there are no tree modifications. This conversion is straightforward. For now, all users take the write lock.
