<content type='text'>
The check in block_page_mkwrite that is meant to determine whether an
offset is within the inode size is off by one.  This bug has been copied
into iomap_page_mkwrite and several filesystems (ubifs, ext4, f2fs,
ceph).

Fix that by introducing a new page_mkwrite_check_truncate helper that
checks for truncate and computes the bytes in the page up to EOF.  Use
the helper in iomap.

NOTE from Darrick: The original patch fixed a number of filesystems, but
then there were merge conflicts with the f2fs for-next tree; a
subsequent re-submission of the patch had different btrfs changes with
no explanation; and Christoph complained that each per-fs fix should be
a separate patch.  In my view that's too much risk to take on, so I
decided to drop all the hunks except for iomap, since I've actually QA'd
XFS.

Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to
consecutive subpages.  This patch changes that to storing consecutive
pointers to the head page in preparation for storing huge pages more
efficiently in i_pages.

Large parts of this are "inspired" by Kirill's patch
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20170126115819.58875-2-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com/

Kirill and Huang Ying contributed several fixes.

We can just pass a NULL filler and do the right thing inside of
do_read_cache_page based on the NULL parameter.

<title>mm/page-writeback: introduce tracepoint for wait_on_page_writeback()</title>

Recently there have been some hung tasks on our server due to
wait_on_page_writeback(), and we want to know the details of this
PG_writeback, i.e.  this page is writing back to which device.  But it is
not so convenient to get the details.

I think it would be better to introduce a tracepoint for diagnosing the
writeback details.

Transparent Huge Pages are currently stored in i_pages as pointers to
consecutive subpages.  This patch changes that to storing consecutive
pointers to the head page in preparation for storing huge pages more
efficiently in i_pages.

Large parts of this are "inspired" by Kirill's patch

<title>filemap: kill page_cache_read usage in filemap_fault</title>

Patch series "drop the mmap_sem when doing IO in the fault path", v6.

Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started
going through and fixing the various priority inversions.  Most are all
gone now, but this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a
priority inversion that happens within the kernel, but rather because of
something userspace does.

We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these
giant applications do things like watch the system state to determine how
healthy the box is for load balancing and such.  This involves running
'ps' or other such utilities.  These utilities will often walk
/proc/&lt;pid&gt;/whatever, and these files can sometimes need to
down_read(&amp;task-&gt;mmap_sem).  Not usually a big deal, but we noticed when
we are stress testing that sometimes our protected application has latency
spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in lower priority
cgroups.

This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into
a mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers
will not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer.  This is fine,
except a lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been
throttled to the point that its IO is taking much longer than normal.  But
because a higher priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck
behind lower priority work.

In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the
existing retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we
are going to do IO.  This already exists in the read case sort of, but
needed to be extended for more than just grabbing the page lock.  With
io.latency we throttle at submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can
block and even page_cache_read can block, so all these paths need to have
the mmap_sem dropped.

The other big thing is -&gt;page_mkwrite.  btrfs is particularly shitty here
because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very
expensive operation.  We use the same retry method as the read path, and
simply cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next
pass through -&gt;page_mkwrite().

I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions.

This patch (of 3):

If we do not have a page at filemap_fault time we'll do this weird forced
page_cache_read thing to populate the page, and then drop it again and
loop around and find it.  This makes for 2 ways we can read a page in
filemap_fault, and it's not really needed.  Instead add a FGP_FOR_MMAP
flag so that pagecache_get_page() will return a unlocked page that's in
pagecache.  Then use the normal page locking and readpage logic already in
filemap_fault.  This simplifies the no page in page cache case
significantly.

<title>mm: page_cache_add_speculative(): refactor out some code duplication</title>
<updated>2019-03-06T05:07:20+00:00</updated>

From: John Hubbard &lt;jhubbard@nvidia.com&gt;

This combines the common elements of these routines:

    page_cache_get_speculative()
    page_cache_add_speculative()

This was anticipated by the original author, as shown by the comment in
commit ce0ad7f095258 ("powerpc/mm: Lockless get_user_pages_fast() for
64-bit (v3)"):

    "Same as above, but add instead of inc (could just be merged)"

There is no intention to introduce any behavioral change, but there is a
small risk of that, due to slightly differing ways of expressing the
TINY_RCU and related configurations.

This also removes the VM_BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) that was in
page_cache_add_speculative(), but not in page_cache_get_speculative().
This provides slightly less detection of such bugs, but it given that it
was only there on the "add" path anyway, we can likely do without it
just fine.

And it removes the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PageCompound(page) &amp;&amp; page != compound_head(page), page);
that page_cache_add_speculative() had.
