Implement a replacement for launder_folio. The key feature of
invalidate_inode_pages2() is that it locks each folio individually, unmaps
it to prevent mmap'd accesses interfering and calls the ->launder_folio()
address_space op to flush it. This has problems: firstly, each folio is
written individually as one or more small writes; secondly, adjacent folios
cannot be added so easily into the laundry; thirdly, it's yet another op to
implement.
Instead, use the invalidate lock to cause anyone wanting to add a folio to
the inode to wait, then unmap all the folios if we have mmaps, then,
conditionally, use ->writepages() to flush any dirty data back and then
discard all pages.
The invalidate lock prevents ->read_iter(), ->write_iter() and faulting
through mmap all from adding pages for the duration.
This is then used from netfslib to handle the flusing in unbuffered and
direct writes.

Remove the PG_fscache alias for PG_private_2 and use the latter directly.
Use of this flag for marking pages undergoing writing to the cache should
be considered deprecated and the folios should be marked dirty instead and
the write done in ->writepages().
Note that PG_private_2 itself should be considered deprecated and up for
future removal by the MM folks too.

When cachestat on shmem races with swapping and invalidation, there
are two possible bugs:
1) A swapin error can have resulted in a poisoned swap entry in the
shmem inode's xarray. Calling get_shadow_from_swap_cache() on it
will result in an out-of-bounds access to swapper_spaces[].
Validate the entry with non_swap_entry() before going further.
2) When we find a valid swap entry in the shmem's inode, the shadow
entry in the swapcache might not exist yet: swap IO is still in
progress and we're before __remove_mapping; swapin, invalidation,
or swapoff have removed the shadow from swapcache after we saw the
shmem swap entry.
This will send a NULL to workingset_test_recent(). The latter
purely operates on pointer bits, so it won't crash - node 0, memcg
ID 0, eviction timestamp 0, etc. are all valid inputs - but it's a
bogus test. In theory that could result in a false "recently
evicted" count.
Such a false positive wouldn't be the end of the world. But for
code clarity and (future) robustness, be explicit about this case.
Bail on get_shadow_from_swap_cache() returning NULL.

from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".

total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

A major fault occurred when using mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE) in
application, which leading to an unexpected issue[1].
This is caused by temporarily cleared PTE during a read+clear/modify/write
update of the PTE, eg, do_numa_page()/change_pte_range().
For the data segment of the user-mode program, the global variable area is
a private mapping. After the pagecache is loaded, the private anonymous
page is generated after the COW is triggered. Mlockall can lock COW pages
(anonymous pages), but the original file pages cannot be locked and may be
reclaimed. If the global variable (private anon page) is accessed when
vmf->pte is zeroed in numa fault, a file page fault will be triggered. At
this time, the original private file page may have been reclaimed. If the
page cache is not available at this time, a major fault will be triggered
and the file will be read, causing additional overhead.
This issue affects our traffic analysis service. The inbound traffic is
heavy. If a major fault occurs, the I/O schedule is triggered and the
original I/O is suspended. Generally, the I/O schedule is 0.7 ms. If
other applications are operating disks, the system needs to wait for more
than 10 ms. However, the inbound traffic is heavy and the NIC buffer is
small. As a result, packet loss occurs. But the traffic analysis service
can't tolerate packet loss.
Fix this by holding PTL and rechecking the PTE in filemap_fault() before
triggering a major fault. We do this check only if vma is VM_LOCKED to
reduce the performance impact in common scenarios.
In our product environment, there were 7 major faults every 12 hours.
After the patch is applied, no major fault have been triggered.
Testing file page read and write page fault performance in ext4 and
ramdisk using will-it-scale[2] on a x86 physical machine. The data is the
average change compared with the mainline after the patch is applied. The
test results are within the range of fluctuation. We do this check only
if vma is VM_LOCKED, therefore, no performance regressions is caused for
most common cases.
The test results are as follows:
processes processes_idle threads threads_idle
ext4 private file write: 0.22% 0.26% 1.21% -0.15%
ext4 private file read: 0.03% 1.00% 1.39% 0.34%
ext4 shared file write: -0.50% -0.02% -0.14% -0.02%
ramdisk private file write: 0.07% 0.02% 0.53% 0.04%
ramdisk private file read: 0.01% 1.60% -0.32% -0.02%

Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list. This is not a
problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the
deferred list. All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the
deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us
from allocating order 1 folios.

In cachestat, we access the folio from the page cache's xarray to compute
its page offset, and check for its dirty and writeback flags. However, we
do not hold a reference to the folio before performing these actions,
which means the folio can concurrently be released and reused as another
folio/page/slab.
Get around this altogether by just using xarray's existing machinery for
the folio page offsets and dirty/writeback states.
This changes behavior for tmpfs files to now always report zeroes in their
dirty and writeback counters. This is okay as tmpfs doesn't follow
conventional writeback cache behavior: its pages get "cleaned" during
swapout, after which they're no longer resident etc.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.8.netfs' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

are performed if necessary. DIO writes are a special case of unbuffered

requirements.

Implement support for unbuffered and DIO reads in the netfs library,
utilising the existing read helper code to do block splitting and
individual queuing. The code also handles extraction of the destination
buffer from the supplied iterator, allowing async unbuffered reads to take
place.
The read will be split up according to the rsize setting and, if supplied,
the ->clamp_length() method. Note that the next subrequest will be issued
as soon as issue_op returns, without waiting for previous ones to finish.
The network filesystem needs to pause or handle queuing them if it doesn't
want to fire them all at the server simultaneously.
Once all the subrequests have finished, the state will be assessed and the
amount of data to be indicated as having being obtained will be
determined. As the subrequests may finish in any order, if an intermediate
subrequest is short, any further subrequests may be copied into the buffer
and then abandoned.
In the future, this will also take care of doing an unbuffered read from
encrypted content, with the decryption being done by the library.

In the concurrency above, we read the updated i_size, but there is no read
barrier to ensure that the data in the page is the same as the i_size at
this point, so we may copy the unsynchronized page out. Hence adding the
missing read memory barrier to fix this.
This is a Load-Load reordering issue, which only occurs on some weak
mem-ordering architectures (e.g. ARM64, ALPHA), but not on strong
mem-ordering architectures (e.g. X86). And theoretically the problem
doesn't only happen on ext4, filesystems that call filemap_read() but
don't hold inode lock (e.g. btrfs, f2fs, ubifs ...) will have this
problem, while filesystems with inode lock (e.g. xfs, nfs) won't have
this problem.

syzbot reports oops in lockdep's __lock_acquire(), called from
__pte_offset_map_lock() called from filemap_map_pages(); or when I run the
repro, the oops comes in pmd_install(), called from filemap_map_pmd()
called from filemap_map_pages(), just before the __pte_offset_map_lock().
The problem is that filemap_map_pmd() has been assuming that when it finds
pmd_none(), a page table has already been prepared in prealloc_pte; and
indeed do_fault_around() has been careful to preallocate one there, when
it finds pmd_none(): but what if *pmd became none in between?
My 6.6 mods in mm/khugepaged.c, avoiding mmap_lock for write, have made it
easy for *pmd to be cleared while servicing a page fault; but even before
those, a huge *pmd might be zapped while a fault is serviced.
The difference in symptomatic stack traces comes from the "memory model"
in use: pmd_install() uses pmd_populate() uses page_to_pfn(): in some
models that is strict, and will oops on the NULL prealloc_pte; in other
models, it will construct a bogus value to be populated into *pmd, then
__pte_offset_map_lock() oops when trying to access split ptlock pointer
(or some other symptom in normal case of ptlock embedded not pointer).

Commit c33c794828 ("mm: ptep_get() conversion") converted all (non-arch)
call sites to use ptep_get() instead of doing a direct dereference of the
pte. Full rationale can be found in that commit's log.
Since then, three new call sites have snuck in, which directly dereference
the pte, so let's fix those up.
Unfortunately there is no reliable automated mechanism to catch these; I'm
relying on a combination of Coccinelle (which throws up a lot of false
positives) and some compiler magic to force a compiler error on
dereference (While this approach finds dereferences, it also yields a
non-booting kernel so can't be committed).

Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4.
The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following
about F_SEAL_WRITE:-
Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.
With emphasis on 'writable'. In turns out in fact that currently the
kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with
F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate.
This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping
to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness.
This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug
report [2].
This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the
kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and
more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable.
It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE
is specified, i.e. whether it is possible that this mapping could at any
point be written to.
If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as
documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only. It turns out
this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can
therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE.
We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check
for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag. To work
around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful

This patch (of 3):
There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are
writable. If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the
case.
Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
field to explicitly test for this by introducing
[vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions.
This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees
that the VMA cannot be written to.

The original problem of the overly long list of waiters on a locked page
was solved properly by commit 9a1ea439b1 ("mm:
put_and_wait_on_page_locked() while page is migrated"). In the meantime,
using bookmarks for the writeback bit can cause livelocks, so we need to
stop using them.

For most migration use cases, only transfer the memcg data from the old
folio to the new folio, and clear the old folio's memcg data. No charging
and uncharging will be done.
This shaves off some work on the migration path, and avoids the temporary
double charging of a folio during its migration.
The only exception is replace_page_cache_folio(), which will use the old
mem_cgroup_migrate() (now renamed to mem_cgroup_replace_folio). In that
context, the isolation of the old page isn't quite as thorough as with
migration, so we cannot use our new implementation directly.
This patch is the result of the following discussion on the new hugetlb
memcg accounting behavior:

Replace clear_bit_and_unlock_is_negative_byte() with
xor_unlock_is_negative_byte(). We have a few places that like to lock a
folio, set a flag and unlock it again. Allow for the possibility of
combining the latter two operations for efficiency. We are guaranteed
that the caller holds the lock, so it is safe to unlock it with the xor.
The caller must guarantee that nobody else will set the flag without
holding the lock; it is not safe to do this with the PG_dirty flag, for
example.

Patch series "Handle more faults under the VMA lock", v2.
At this point, we're handling the majority of file-backed page faults
under the VMA lock, using the ->map_pages entry point. This patch set
attempts to expand that for the following siutations:
- We have to do a read. This could be because we've hit the point in
the readahead window where we need to kick off the next readahead,
or because the page is simply not present in cache.
- We're handling a write fault. Most applications don't do I/O by writes
to shared mmaps for very good reasons, but some do, and it'd be nice
to not make that slow unnecessarily.
- We're doing a COW of a private mapping (both PTE already present
and PTE not-present). These are two different codepaths and I handle
both of them in this patch set.
There is no support in this patch set for drivers to mark themselves as
being VMA lock friendly; they could implement the ->map_pages
vm_operation, but if they do, they would be the first. This is probably
something we want to change at some point in the future, and I've marked
where to make that change in the code.
There is very little performance change in the benchmarks we've run;
mostly because the vast majority of page faults are handled through the
other paths. I still think this patch series is useful for workloads that
may take these paths more often, and just for cleaning up the fault path
in general (it's now clearer why we have to retry in these cases).
This patch (of 6):
Drop the VMA lock instead of the mmap_lock if that's the one which
is held.

The existing comments in filemap_fault() suggest that, after either a
minor fault has occurred and filemap_get_folio() found a folio in the page
cache, or a major fault arose and __filemap_get_folio(FGP_CREATE...) did
the job (having relied on do_sync_mmap_readahead() or filemap_read_folio()
to read in the folio), the only possible reason it could not be uptodate
is because of an error.
This is not so, as if, for instance, the fault occurred within a VMA which
had the VM_RAND_READ flag set (via madvise() with the MADV_RANDOM flag
specified), this would cause even synchronous readahead to fail to read in
the folio.
I confirmed this by dropping page caches and faulting in memory
madvise()'d this way, observing that this code path was reached on each
occasion.
Clarify the comments to include this case, and additionally update the
comment recently added around the invalidate lock logic to make it clear
the comment explicitly refers to the minor fault case.
In addition, while we're here, refer to folios rather than pages.

Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by
changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the
huge page size. The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity
within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing
branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup.
To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache
interactions are added. These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear
index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages.
========================= PERFORMANCE ======================================
Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch.
Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger
overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache(). This is because of the larger overhead that
occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries
to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.

We found a softlock issue in our test, analyzed the logs, and found that
the relevant CPU call trace as follows:
CPU0:
_do_fork
-> copy_process()
-> write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock) //Disable irq,waiting for
//tasklist_lock
CPU1:
wp_page_copy()
->pte_offset_map_lock()
-> spin_lock(&page->ptl); //Hold page->ptl
-> ptep_clear_flush()
-> flush_tlb_others() ...
-> smp_call_function_many()
-> arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask()
-> csd_lock_wait() //Waiting for other CPUs respond
//IPI
CPU2:
collect_procs_anon()
-> read_lock(&tasklist_lock) //Hold tasklist_lock
->for_each_process(tsk)
-> page_mapped_in_vma()
-> page_vma_mapped_walk()
-> map_pte()
->spin_lock(&page->ptl) //Waiting for page->ptl
We can see that CPU1 waiting for CPU0 respond IPI，CPU0 waiting for CPU2
unlock tasklist_lock, CPU2 waiting for CPU1 unlock page->ptl. As a result,
softlockup is triggered.
For collect_procs_anon(), what we're doing is task list iteration, during
the iteration, with the help of call_rcu(), the task_struct object is freed
only after one or more grace periods elapse. the logic as follows:
release_task()
-> __exit_signal()
-> __unhash_process()
-> list_del_rcu()
-> put_task_struct_rcu_user()
-> call_rcu(&task->rcu, delayed_put_task_struct)
delayed_put_task_struct()
-> put_task_struct()
-> if (refcount_sub_and_test())
__put_task_struct()
-> free_task()
Therefore, under the protection of the rcu lock, we can safely use
get_task_struct() to ensure a safe reference to task_struct during the
iteration.
By removing the use of tasklist_lock in task list iteration, we can break
the softlock chain above.
The same logic can also be applied to:
- collect_procs_file()
- collect_procs_fsdax()
- collect_procs_ksm()

When page fault is handled under per-VMA lock protection, all swap page
faults are retried with mmap_lock because folio_lock_or_retry has to drop
and reacquire mmap_lock if folio could not be immediately locked. Follow
the same pattern as mmap_lock to drop per-VMA lock when waiting for folio
and retrying once folio is available.
With this obstacle removed, enable do_swap_page to operate under per-VMA
lock protection. Drivers implementing ops->migrate_to_ram might still
rely on mmap_lock, therefore we have to fall back to mmap_lock in that
particular case.
Note that the only time do_swap_page calls synchronous swap_readpage is
when SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO is set, which is only set for
QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS devices: brd, zram and nvdimms (both btt and pmem).
Therefore we don't sleep in this path, and there's no need to drop the
mmap or per-VMA lock.

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.
