fs: move page_cache_seek_hole_data to iomap.c

2018-06-02T01:37:33+00:00

This function is only used by the iomap code, depends on being called
from it, and will soon stop poking into buffer head internals.

page cache: use xa_lock

2018-04-11T17:28:39+00:00

Remove the address_space ->tree_lock and use the xa_lock newly added to
the radix_tree_root.  Rename the address_space ->page_tree to ->i_pages,
since we don't really care that it's a tree.

export __set_page_dirty

2018-04-11T17:28:39+00:00

XFS currently contains a copy-and-paste of __set_page_dirty().  Export
it from buffer.c instead.

block_invalidatepage(): only release page if the full page was invalidated

2018-04-06T04:36:27+00:00

Prior to commit d47992f86b30 ("mm: change invalidatepage prototype to
accept length"), an offset of 0 meant that the full page was being
invalidated.  After that commit, we need to instead check the length.

Jan said:
:
: The only possible issue is that try_to_release_page() was called more
: often than necessary.  Otherwise the issue is harmless but still it's good
: to have this fixed.

buffer.c: call thaw_super during emergency thaw

2018-03-19T06:21:40+00:00

There are 2 distinct freezing mechanisms - one operates on block
devices and another one directly on super blocks. Both end up with the
same result, but thaw of only one of these does not thaw the other.

In particular fsfreeze --freeze uses the ioctl variant going to the
super block. Since prior to this patch emergency thaw was not doing
a relevant thaw, filesystems frozen with this method remained
unaffected.

The patch is a hack which adds blind unfreezing.

In order to keep the super block write-locked the whole time the code
is shuffled around and the newly introduced __iterate_supers is
employed.

fs/buffer.c: fold init_buffer() into init_page_buffers()

2018-01-26T00:34:28+00:00

Since commit e76004093db1 ("fs/buffer.c: remove unnecessary init
operation after allocating buffer_head"), there are no callers of
init_buffer() outside of init_page_buffers().  So just fold it into
init_page_buffers().

mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecs

2017-11-16T02:21:06+00:00

Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.  As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.
