mm: warn on deleting redirtied only if accounted

2022-03-25T02:06:51+00:00

filemap_unaccount_folio() has a WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_dirty(folio)).  It
is good to warn of late dirtying on a persistent filesystem, but late
dirtying on tmpfs can only lose data which is expected to be thrown away;
and it's a pity if that warning comes ONCE on tmpfs, then hides others
which really matter.  Make it conditional on mapping_cap_writeback().

Cleanup: then folio_account_cleaned() no longer needs to check that for
itself, and so no longer needs to know the mapping.

Merge tag 'folio-5.18b' of git://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache

2022-03-23T01:26:56+00:00

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->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->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a
     similar type change.

   - a_ops->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()

   - a_ops->set_page_dirty() becomes ->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"

mm/writeback: minor clean up for highmem_dirtyable_memory

2022-03-22T22:57:01+00:00

Since commit a804552b9a15 ("mm/page-writeback.c: fix
dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memory"), local
variable x can not be negative.  And it can not overflow when it is the
total number of dirtyable highmem pages.  Thus remove the unneeded
comment and overflow check.

fs: Remove aops ->set_page_dirty

2022-03-16T17:37:05+00:00

With all implementations converted to ->dirty_folio, we can stop calling
this fallback method and remove it entirely.

Convert all callers; mostly this is just changing the aops to point
at it, but a few implementations need a little more work.

fs: Add aops->dirty_folio

2022-03-15T12:23:30+00:00

This replaces ->set_page_dirty().  It returns a bool instead of an int
and takes the address_space as a parameter instead of expecting the
implementations to retrieve the address_space from the page.  This is
particularly important for filesystems which use FS_OPS for swap.

folio: Add a function to get the host inode for a folio

2021-11-10T21:16:52+00:00

Add a convenience function, folio_inode() that will get the host inode from
a folio's mapping.

Changes:
 ver #3:
  - Fix mistake in function description[2].
 ver #2:
  - Fix contradiction between doc and implementation by disallowing use
    with swap caches[1].
