afs: Fix waiting for writeback then skipping folio

2023-06-19T13:30:58+00:00

Commit acc8d8588cb7 converted afs_writepages_region() to write back a
folio batch. The function waits for writeback to a folio, but then
proceeds to the rest of the batch without trying to write that folio
again. This patch fixes has it attempt to write the folio again.

[DH: Also remove an 'else' that adding a goto makes redundant]

afs: Fix dangling folio ref counts in writeback

2023-06-19T13:30:48+00:00

Commit acc8d8588cb7 converted afs_writepages_region() to write back a
folio batch. If writeback needs rescheduling, the function exits without
dropping the references to the folios in fbatch. This patch fixes that.

mm: return an ERR_PTR from __filemap_get_folio

2023-04-06T02:42:42+00:00

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:

 - no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
 - failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
 - would block (-EAGAIN)

so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.

Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.

afs: convert afs_writepages_region() to use filemap_get_folios_tag()

2023-02-03T06:33:14+00:00

Convert to use folios throughout.  This function is in preparation to
remove find_get_pages_range_tag().

Also modify this function to write the whole batch one at a time, rather
than calling for a new set every single write.

afs: Stop implementing ->writepage()

2022-12-22T11:40:35+00:00

We're trying to get rid of the ->writepage() hook[1].  Stop afs from using
it by unlocking the page and calling afs_writepages_region() rather than
folio_write_one().

A flag is passed to afs_writepages_region() to indicate that it should only
write a single region so that we don't flush the entire file in
->write_begin(), but do add other dirty data to the region being written to
try and reduce the number of RPC ops.

This requires ->migrate_folio() to be implemented, so point that at
filemap_migrate_folio() for files and also for symlinks and directories.

This can be tested by turning on the afs_folio_dirty tracepoint and then
doing something like:

   xfs_io -c "w 2223 7000" -c "w 15000 22222" -c "w 23 7" /afs/my/test/foo

and then looking in the trace to see if the write at position 15000 gets
stored before page 0 gets dirtied for the write at position 23.

use less confusing names for iov_iter direction initializers

2022-11-25T18:01:55+00:00

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.

Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder
to misinterpret...

afs: Enable multipage folio support

2022-08-14T00:20:51+00:00

Enable multipage folio support for the afs filesystem.

Support has already been implemented in netfslib, fscache and cachefiles
and in most of afs, but I've waited for Matthew Wilcox's latest folio
changes.

Note that it does require a change to afs_write_begin() to return the
correct subpage.  This is a "temporary" change as we're working on
getting rid of the need for ->write_begin() and ->write_end()
completely, at least as far as network filesystems are concerned - but
it doesn't prevent afs from making use of the capability.

netfs: Further cleanups after struct netfs_inode wrapper introduced

2022-06-10T19:55:21+00:00

Change the signature of netfs helper functions to take a struct netfs_inode
pointer rather than a struct inode pointer where appropriate, thereby
relieving the need for the network filesystem to convert its internal inode
format down to the VFS inode only for netfslib to bounce it back up.  For
type safety, it's better not to do that (and it's less typing too).

Give netfs_write_begin() an extra argument to pass in a pointer to the
netfs_inode struct rather than deriving it internally from the file
pointer.  Note that the ->write_begin() and ->write_end() ops are intended
to be replaced in the future by netfslib code that manages this without the
need to call in twice for each page.

netfs_readpage() and similar are intended to be pointed at directly by the
address_space_operations table, so must stick to the signature dictated by
the function pointers there.
