<title>block: Remove special-casing of compound pages</title>

commit 1b151e2435fc3a9b10c8946c6aebe9f3e1938c55 upstream.

The special casing was originally added in pre-git history; reproducing
the commit log here:

&gt; commit a318a92567d77
&gt; Author: Andrew Morton &lt;akpm@osdl.org&gt;
&gt; Date:   Sun Sep 21 01:42:22 2003 -0700
&gt;
&gt;     [PATCH] Speed up direct-io hugetlbpage handling
&gt;
&gt;     This patch short-circuits all the direct-io page dirtying logic for
&gt;     higher-order pages.  Without this, we pointlessly bounce BIOs up to
&gt;     keventd all the time.

In the last twenty years, compound pages have become used for more than
just hugetlb.  Rewrite these functions to operate on folios instead
of pages and remove the special case for hugetlbfs; I don't think
it's needed any more (and if it is, we can put it back in as a call
to folio_test_hugetlb()).

This was found by inspection; as far as I can tell, this bug can lead
to pages used as the destination of a direct I/O read not being marked
as dirty.  If those pages are then reclaimed by the MM without being
dirtied for some other reason, they won't be written out.  Then when
they're faulted back in, they will not contain the data they should.
It'll take a pretty unusual setup to produce this problem with several
races all going the wrong way.

This problem predates the folio work; it could for example have been
triggered by mmaping a THP in tmpfs and using that as the target of an
O_DIRECT read.

[ Upstream commit d58cdfae6a22e5079656c487aad669597a0635c8 ]

Add a helper to initialize a bvec based of a page pointer.  This will help
removing various open code bvec initializations.

commit 11eb695feb636fa5211067189cad25ac073e7fe5 upstream.

This isn't strictly needed in terms of correctness, but it does allow
polling to know if the bio has been put already by a different task
and hence avoid polling something that we don't need to.

bio_put() with REQ_ALLOC_CACHE assumes that it's executed not from
an irq context. Let's add a warning if the invariant is not respected,
especially since there is a couple of places removing REQ_POLLED by hand
without also clearing REQ_ALLOC_CACHE.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's

<title>block: kmsan: skip bio block merging logic for KMSAN</title>

KMSAN doesn't allow treating adjacent memory pages as such, if they were
allocated by different alloc_pages() calls.  The block layer however does
so: adjacent pages end up being used together.  To prevent this, make
page_is_mergeable() return false under KMSAN.
