block: don't make REQ_POLLED imply REQ_NOWAIT

2023-08-09T22:04:07+00:00

Normally these two flags do go together, as the issuer of polled IO
generally cannot wait for resources that will get freed as part of IO
completion. This is because that very task is the one that will complete
the request and free those resources, hence that would introduce a
deadlock.

But it is possible to have someone else issue the polled IO, eg via
io_uring if the request is punted to io-wq. For that case, it's fine to
have the task block on IO submission, as it is not the same task that
will be completing the IO.

It's completely up to the caller to ask for both polled and nowait IO
separately! If we don't allow polled IO where IOCB_NOWAIT isn't set in
the kiocb, then we can run into repeated -EAGAIN submissions and not
make any progress.

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yosry Ahmed brought back some cgroup v1 stats in OOM logs

 - Yosry has also eliminated cgroup's atomic rstat flushing

   with the ability to query pagecache status - a similar concept to
   mincore() but more powerful and with improved usability

 - Mel Gorman provides more optimizations for compaction, reducing the
   prevalence of page rescanning

 - Lorenzo Stoakes has done some maintanance work on the
   get_user_pages() interface

   and directio access to file mappings

 - John Hubbard has a series of fixes to the MM selftesting code

   reorganizing the LRU management

Pull splice updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This kills off ITER_PIPE to avoid a race between truncate,
  iov_iter_revert() on the pipe and an as-yet incomplete DMA to a bio
  with unpinned/unref'ed pages from an O_DIRECT splice read. This causes
  memory corruption.

  Instead, we either use (a) filemap_splice_read(), which invokes the
  buffered file reading code and splices from the pagecache into the
  pipe; (b) copy_splice_read(), which bulk-allocates a buffer, reads
  into it and then pushes the filled pages into the pipe; or (c) handle
  it in filesystem-specific code.

  Summary:

   - Rename direct_splice_read() to copy_splice_read()

   - Simplify the calculations for the number of pages to be reclaimed
     in copy_splice_read()

   - Turn do_splice_to() into a helper, vfs_splice_read(), so that it
     can be used by overlayfs and coda to perform the checks on the
     lower fs

   - Make vfs_splice_read() jump to copy_splice_read() to handle
     direct-I/O and DAX

   - Provide shmem with its own splice_read to handle non-existent pages
     in the pagecache. We don't want a ->read_folio() as we don't want
     to populate holes, but filemap_get_pages() requires it

   - Provide overlayfs with its own splice_read to call down to a lower
     layer as overlayfs doesn't provide ->read_folio()

   - Provide coda with its own splice_read to call down to a lower layer
     as coda doesn't provide ->read_folio()

   - Direct ->splice_read to copy_splice_read() in tty, procfs, kernfs
     and random files as they just copy to the output buffer and don't
     splice pages

   - Provide wrappers for afs, ceph, ecryptfs, ext4, f2fs, nfs, ntfs3,
     ocfs2, orangefs, xfs and zonefs to do locking and/or revalidation

   - Make cifs use filemap_splice_read()

   - Replace pointers to generic_file_splice_read() with pointers to
     filemap_splice_read() as DIO and DAX are handled in the caller;
     filesystems can still provide their own alternate ->splice_read()
     op

   - Remove generic_file_splice_read()

   - Remove ITER_PIPE and its paraphernalia as generic_file_splice_read
     was the only user"

block: store the holder in file->private_data

2023-06-12T14:04:05+00:00

Store the file struct used as the holder in file->private_data as an
indicator that this file descriptor was opened exclusively to  remove
the last use of FMODE_EXCL.

block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags

The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and

blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and

block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens

2023-06-12T14:04:04+00:00

The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder.  Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.

For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.
