All filesystems have now been converted to use -&gt;readahead, so
remove the -&gt;readpages operation and fix all the comments that
used to refer to it.

Pull x86 CET-IBT (Control-Flow-Integrity) support from Peter Zijlstra:
 "Add support for Intel CET-IBT, available since Tigerlake (11th gen),
  which is a coarse grained, hardware based, forward edge
  Control-Flow-Integrity mechanism where any indirect CALL/JMP must
  target an ENDBR instruction or suffer #CP.

  Additionally, since Alderlake (12th gen)/Sapphire-Rapids, speculation
  is limited to 2 instructions (and typically fewer) on branch targets
  not starting with ENDBR. CET-IBT also limits speculation of the next
  sequential instruction after the indirect CALL/JMP [1].

  CET-IBT is fundamentally incompatible with retpolines, but provides,
  as described above, speculation limits itself"

Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
  take a folio instead of a page.

  Notably:

   - a_ops-&gt;is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and
     changes the type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it
     obvious they're bytes.

   - a_ops-&gt;invalidatepage() becomes -&gt;invalidate_folio() and has a
     similar type change.

   - a_ops-&gt;launder_page() becomes -&gt;launder_folio()

   - a_ops-&gt;set_page_dirty() becomes -&gt;dirty_folio() and adds the
     address_space as an argument.

  There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth
  separating into their own pull request"

<title>fuse: remove reliance on bdi congestion</title>
<updated>2022-03-22T22:57:00+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=670d21c6e17f67535fcf16e14c772209220da9ae'/>
<id>670d21c6e17f67535fcf16e14c772209220da9ae</id>
<content type='text'>
The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.

Fuse is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting both
the sync (read) and async (write) congestion flags at what it determines
are appropriate times.

The only remaining effect of the sync flag is to cause read-ahead to be
skipped.  The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.

So instead of setting the flags, change:

 - .readahead to stop when it has submitted all non-async pages for
   read.

 - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag would be set

 - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the
   flag would be set.

The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be
called on the page which (I think) will further delay the next attempt at
writeout.  This might be a good thing.

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.

Fuse is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting both
the sync (read) and async (write) congestion flags at what it determines
are appropriate times.

The only remaining effect of the sync flag is to cause read-ahead to be
skipped.  The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.

So instead of setting the flags, change:

 - .readahead to stop when it has submitted all non-async pages for
   read.

 - .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag would be set

 - .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the
   flag would be set.

The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be
called on the page which (I think) will further delay the next attempt at
writeout.  This might be a good thing.

These filesystems use __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() either directly or
with a very thin wrapper; convert them en masse.

We used to have to use noop_invalidatepage() to prevent
block_invalidatepage() from being called, but that behaviour is now gone.
