Patch series "Writeback folio conversions".

Remove more calls to compound_head() by passing folios around instead of
pages.


This patch (of 2):

The only caller of inode_attach_wb() which doesn't pass NULL already has a
folio, so convert the whole call-chain to take folios.

In the past we had several use-after-free issues with inodes getting
added to writeback lists after evict() removed them. These are painful
to debug so add some asserts to catch the problem earlier. The only
non-obvious change in the commit is that we need to tweak
redirty_tail_locked() to avoid triggering assertion in
inode_io_list_move_locked().

<content type='text'>
After commit cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE") writeback_single_inode can push inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set to b_dirty_time list. In case of freeing inode with
I_DIRTY_TIME set this can happen after deletion of inode from i_io_list
at evict. Stack trace is following.

evict
fat_evict_inode
fat_truncate_blocks
fat_flush_inodes
writeback_inode
sync_inode_metadata(inode, sync=0)
writeback_single_inode(inode, wbc) &lt;- wbc-&gt;sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE

This will lead to use after free in flusher thread.

Similar issue can be triggered if writeback_single_inode in the
stack trace update inode-&gt;i_io_list. Add explicit check to avoid it.

Fixes: cbfecb927f42 ("fs: record I_DIRTY_TIME even if inode already has I_DIRTY_INODE")

<id>cbfecb927f429a6fa613d74b998496bd71e4438a</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the I_DIRTY_TIME will never get set if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE with assumption that it supersedes I_DIRTY_TIME.  That's
true, however ext4 will only update the on-disk inode in
-&gt;dirty_inode(), not on actual writeback. As a result if the inode
already has I_DIRTY_INODE state by the time we get to
__mark_inode_dirty() only with I_DIRTY_TIME, the time was already filled
into on-disk inode and will not get updated until the next I_DIRTY_INODE
update, which might never come if we crash or get a power failure.

The problem can be reproduced on ext4 by running xfstest generic/622
with -o iversion mount option.

Fix it by allowing I_DIRTY_TIME to be set even if the inode already has
I_DIRTY_INODE. Also make sure that the case is properly handled in
writeback_single_inode() as well. Additionally changes in
xfs_fs_dirty_inode() was made to accommodate for I_DIRTY_TIME in flag.

Thanks Jan Kara for suggestions on how to make this work properly.

When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete.  However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.

Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.

Since this requires wb-&gt;work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb-&gt;work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

Commit b35250c0816c ("writeback: Protect inode-&gt;i_io_list with
inode-&gt;i_lock") made inode-&gt;i_io_list not only protected by
wb-&gt;list_lock but also inode-&gt;i_lock, but inode_io_list_move_locked()
was missed. Add lock there and also update comment describing
things protected by inode-&gt;i_lock. This also fixes a race where
__mark_inode_dirty() could move inode under flush worker's hands
and thus sync(2) could miss writing some inodes.
