fs/buffer: use sleeping version of __find_get_block()

2025-05-29T09:12:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 5b67d43976828dea2394eae2556b369bb7a61f64 ]

Convert to the new nonatomic flavor to benefit from potential performance
benefits and adapt in the future vs migration such that semantics
are kept.

Convert write_boundary_block() which already takes the buffer
lock as well as bdev_getblk() depending on the respective gpf flags.
There are no changes in semantics.

fs/buffer: introduce sleeping flavors for pagecache lookups

2025-05-29T09:12:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2814a7d3d2ff5d2cdd22936f641f758fdb971fa0 ]

Add __find_get_block_nonatomic() and sb_find_get_block_nonatomic()
calls for which users will be converted where safe. These versions
will take the folio lock instead of the mapping's private_lock.

fs/buffer: split locking for pagecache lookups

2025-05-29T09:12:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7ffe3de53a885dbb5836541c2178bd07d1bad7df ]

Callers of __find_get_block() may or may not allow for blocking
semantics, and is currently assumed that it will not. Layout
two paths based on this. The the private_lock scheme will
continued to be used for atomic contexts. Otherwise take the
folio lock instead, which protects the buffers, such as
vs migration and try_to_free_buffers().

Per the "hack idea", the latter can alleviate contention on
the private_lock for bdev mappings. For reasons of determinism
and avoid making bugs hard to reproduce, the trylocking is not
attempted.

No change in semantics. All lookup users still take the spinlock.

memcg-v1: no need for memcg locking for dirty tracking

2024-11-07T04:11:19+00:00

During the era of memcg charge migration, the kernel has to be make
sure that the dirty stat updates do not race with the charge migration.
Otherwise it might update the dirty stats of the wrong memcg.  Now
with the memcg charge migration gone, there is no more race for dirty
stat updates and the previous locking can be removed.

fs/writeback: convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner to take a folio

2024-10-28T12:26:54+00:00

Most of the callers of wbc_account_cgroup_owner() are converting a folio
to page before calling the function. wbc_account_cgroup_owner() is
converting the page back to a folio to call mem_cgroup_css_from_folio().

Convert wbc_account_cgroup_owner() to take a folio instead of a page,
and convert all callers to pass a folio directly except f2fs.

Convert the page to folio for all the callers from f2fs as they were the
only callers calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a page. As f2fs is
already in the process of converting to folios, these call sites might
also soon be calling wbc_account_cgroup_owner() with a folio directly in
the future.

No functional changes. Only compile tested.

fs: Move clearing of mappedtodisk to buffer.c

2024-10-04T07:24:24+00:00

The mappedtodisk flag is only meaningful for buffer head based
filesystems.  It should not be cleared for other filesystems.  This allows
us to reuse the mappedtodisk flag to have other meanings in filesystems
that do not use buffer heads.
