Patch series "New page table range API", v6.
This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:
set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
flush_dcache_folio(folio)
flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)
flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them. The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.
The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.
One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking. This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.
The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86. I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too. Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.
This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.
This patch (of 38):
Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND). It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type. Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

mballoc criterias have historically been called by numbers
like CR0, CR1... however this makes it confusing to understand
what each criteria is about.
Change these criterias from numbers to symbolic names and add
relevant comments. While we are at it, also reformat and add some
comments to ext4_seq_mb_stats_show() for better readability.
Additionally, define CR_FAST which signifies the criteria
below which we can make quicker decisions like:
* quitting early if (free block < requested len)
* avoiding to scan free extents smaller than required len.
* avoiding to initialize buddy cache and work with existing cache
* limiting prefetches

CR1_5 aims to optimize allocations which can't be satisfied in CR1. The
fact that we couldn't find a group in CR1 suggests that it would be
difficult to find a continuous extent to compleltely satisfy our
allocations. So before falling to the slower CR2, in CR1.5 we
proactively trim the the preallocations so we can find a group with
(free / fragments) big enough. This speeds up our allocation at the
cost of slightly reduced preallocation.
The patch also adds a new sysfs tunable:
* /sys/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_cr1_5_max_trim_order
This controls how much CR1.5 can trim a request before falling to CR2.
For example, for a request of order 7 and max trim order 2, CR1.5 can
trim this upto order 5.

Track number of allocations where the length of blocks allocated is equal to the
length of goal blocks (post normalization). This metric could be useful if
making changes to the allocator logic in the future as it could give us
visibility into how often do we trim our requests.
PS: ac_b_ex.fe_len might get modified due to preallocation efforts and
hence we use ac_f_ex.fe_len instead since we want to compare how much the
allocator was able to actually find.

Previously, ext4_get_group_info() would treat an invalid group number
as BUG(), since in theory it should never happen. However, if a
malicious attaker (or fuzzer) modifies the superblock via the block
device while it is the file system is mounted, it is possible for
s_first_data_block to get set to a very large number. In that case,
when calculating the block group of some block number (such as the
starting block of a preallocation region), could result in an
underflow and very large block group number. Then the BUG_ON check in
ext4_get_group_info() would fire, resutling in a denial of service
attack that can be triggered by root or someone with write access to
the block device.
For a quality of implementation perspective, it's best that even if
the system administrator does something that they shouldn't, that it
will not trigger a BUG. So instead of BUG'ing, ext4_get_group_info()
will call ext4_error and return NULL. We also add fallback code in
all of the callers of ext4_get_group_info() that it might NULL.
Also, since ext4_get_group_info() was already borderline to be an
inline function, un-inline it. The results in a next reduction of the
compiled text size of ext4 by roughly 2k.

Earlier, inode PAs were stored in a linked list. This caused a need to
periodically trim the list down inorder to avoid growing it to a very
large size, as this would severly affect performance during list
iteration.
Recent patches changed this list to an rbtree, and since the tree scales
up much better, we no longer need to have the trim functionality, hence
remove it.

Currently, the kernel uses i_prealloc_list to hold all the inode
preallocations. This is known to cause degradation in performance in
workloads which perform large number of sparse writes on a single file.
This is mainly because functions like ext4_mb_normalize_request() and
ext4_mb_use_preallocated() iterate over this complete list, resulting in
slowdowns when large number of PAs are present.
Patch 27bc446e2 partially fixed this by enforcing a limit of 512 for
the inode preallocation list and adding logic to continually trim the
list if it grows above the threshold, however our testing revealed that
a hardcoded value is not suitable for all kinds of workloads.
To optimize this, add an rbtree to the inode and hold the inode
preallocations in this rbtree. This will make iterating over inode PAs
faster and scale much better than a linked list. Additionally, we also
had to remove the LRU logic that was added during trimming of the list
(in ext4_mb_release_context()) as it will add extra overhead in rbtree.
The discards now happen in the lowest-logical-offset-first order.
** Locking notes **
With the introduction of rbtree to maintain inode PAs, we can't use RCU
to walk the tree for searching since it can result in partial traversals
which might miss some nodes(or entire subtrees) while discards happen
in parallel (which happens under a lock). Hence this patch converts the
ei->i_prealloc_lock spin_lock to rw_lock.
Almost all the codepaths that read/modify the PA rbtrees are protected
by the higher level inode->i_data_sem (except
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() and ext4_clear_inode()) IIUC, the
only place we need lock protection is when one thread is reading
"searching" the PA rbtree (earlier protected under rcu_read_lock()) and
another is "deleting" the PAs in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations()
function (which iterates all the PAs using the grp->bb_prealloc_list and
deletes PAs from the tree without taking any inode lock (i_data_sem)).
So, this patch converts all rcu_read_lock/unlock() paths for inode list
PA to use read_lock() and all places where we were using
ei->i_prealloc_lock spinlock will now be using write_lock().
Note that this makes the fast path (searching of the right PA e.g.
ext4_mb_use_preallocated() or ext4_mb_normalize_request()), now use
read_lock() instead of rcu_read_lock/unlock(). Ths also will now block
due to slow discard path (ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations()) which
uses write_lock().
But this is not as bad as it looks. This is because -
1. The slow path only occurs when the normal allocation failed and we
can say that we are low on disk space. One can argue this scenario
won't be much frequent.
2. ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations(), locks and unlocks the rwlock
for deleting every individual PA. This gives enough opportunity for
the fast path to acquire the read_lock for searching the PA inode
list.

it include the call to ext4_find_entry(). However, ext4_find_entry()
can deadlock when called from within a transaction because it may need
to set up the directory's encryption key.
Fix this by restoring the transaction to its original scope.

There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()
returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad
inode to be returned, because the inode may not be initialized. This
mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To solve this
problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag
we'd be returning bad inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return
the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by Jan Kara)

Make statx() support reporting direct I/O (DIO) alignment information.
This provides a generic interface for userspace programs to determine
whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.
Specifically, STATX_DIOALIGN works on block devices, and on regular
files when their containing filesystem has implemented support.
An interface like this has been requested for years, since the
conditions for when DIO is supported in Linux have gotten increasingly
complex over time. Today, DIO support and alignment requirements can be
affected by various filesystem features such as multi-device support,
data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity, compression,
checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode, etc. Further complicating
things, Linux v6.0 relaxed the traditional rule of DIO needing to be
aligned to the block device's logical block size; now user buffers (but
not file offsets) only need to be aligned to the DMA alignment.
The approach of uplifting the XFS specific ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO was
discarded in favor of creating a clean new interface with statx().

Using rbtree for sorting groups by average fragment size is relatively
expensive (needs rbtree update on every block freeing or allocation) and
leads to wide spreading of allocations because selection of block group
is very sentitive both to changes in free space and amount of blocks
allocated. Furthermore selecting group with the best matching average
fragment size is not necessary anyway, even more so because the
variability of fragment sizes within a group is likely large so average
is not telling much. We just need a group with large enough average
fragment size so that we have high probability of finding large enough
free extent and we don't want average fragment size to be too big so
that we are likely to find free extent only somewhat larger than what we
need.
So instead of maintaing rbtree of groups sorted by fragment size keep
bins (lists) or groups where average fragment size is in the interval
[2^i, 2^(i+1)). This structure requires less updates on block allocation
/ freeing, generally avoids chaotic spreading of allocations into block
groups, and still is able to quickly (even faster that the rbtree)
provide a block group which is likely to have a suitably sized free
space extent.
This patch reduces number of block groups used when untarring archive
with medium sized files (size somewhat above 64k which is default
mballoc limit for avoiding locality group preallocation) to about half
and thus improves write speeds for eMMC flash significantly.

Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"Add new ioctls to set and get the file system UUID in the ext4
superblock and improved the performance of the online resizing of file
systems with bigalloc enabled.
Fixed a lot of bugs, in particular for the inline data feature,
potential races when creating and deleting inodes with shared extended
attribute blocks, and the handling of directory blocks which are
corrupted"
* tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4: (37 commits)
ext4: add ioctls to get/set the ext4 superblock uuid
ext4: avoid resizing to a partial cluster size
ext4: reduce computation of overhead during resize
jbd2: fix assertion 'jh->b_frozen_data == NULL' failure when journal aborted
ext4: block range must be validated before use in ext4_mb_clear_bb()
mbcache: automatically delete entries from cache on freeing
mbcache: Remove mb_cache_entry_delete()
ext2: avoid deleting xattr block that is being reused
ext2: unindent codeblock in ext2_xattr_set()
ext2: factor our freeing of xattr block reference
ext4: fix race when reusing xattr blocks
ext4: unindent codeblock in ext4_xattr_block_set()
ext4: remove EA inode entry from mbcache on inode eviction
mbcache: add functions to delete entry if unused
mbcache: don't reclaim used entries
ext4: make sure ext4_append() always allocates new block
ext4: check if directory block is within i_size
ext4: reflect mb_optimize_scan value in options file

...
This fixes a race between changing the ext4 superblock uuid and operations
like mounting, resizing, changing features, etc.
