struct pagevec was removed in commit 1e0877d58b1e ("mm: remove struct
pagevec").  Rename include/linux/pagevec.h to reflect reality and update
includes tree-wide.  Add the new filename to MAINTAINERS explicitly, as it
no longer matches the "include/linux/page[-_]*" pattern in MEMORY

iomap: support T10 protection information

2026-03-10T09:29:17+00:00

Add support for generating / verifying protection information in iomap.
This is done by hooking into the bio submission and then using the
generic PI helpers.  Compared to just using the block layer auto PI
this extends the protection envelope and also prepares for eventually
passing through PI from userspace at least for direct I/O.

To generate or verify PI, the file system needs to set the
IOMAP_F_INTEGRITY flag on the iomap for the request, and ensure the
ioends are used for all integrity I/O.  Additionally the file system
must defer read I/O completions to user context so that the guard
tag validation isn't run from interrupt context.

iomap: allow file systems to hook into buffered read bio submission

2026-03-10T09:29:03+00:00

File systems such as btrfs have additional operations with bios such as
verifying data checksums.  Allow file systems to hook into submission
of the bio to allow for this processing by replacing the direct
submit_bio call in iomap_read_alloc_bio with a call into ->submit_read
and exporting iomap_read_alloc_bio.  Also add a new field to
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx to track the file logic offset of the current
read context.

Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
 "This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
  was all done by Christoph. In his words:

  This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
  modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
  require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
  operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
  an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
  XFS.

  The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
  because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
  infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
  I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
  other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
  infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,
  so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact
  the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs.

  This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable
  devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and
  splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs
  running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a
  device using PI.

  Performance numbers on my (not exactly state of the art) NVMe PI test
  setup:

      Sequential reads using io_uring, QD=16.
      Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):

      | size |        zero copy         |          bounce          |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
      |   4k | 1316MiB/s (12.65/55.40%) | 1081MiB/s (11.76/49.78%) |
      |  64K | 3370MiB/s ( 5.46/18.20%) | 3365MiB/s ( 4.47/15.68%) |
      |   1M | 3401MiB/s ( 0.76/23.05%) | 3400MiB/s ( 0.80/09.06%) |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

      Sequential writes using io_uring, QD=16.
      Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):

      | size |        zero copy         |          bounce          |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
      |   4k |  882MiB/s (11.83/33.88%) |  750MiB/s (10.53/34.08%) |
      |  64K | 2009MiB/s ( 7.33/15.80%) | 2007MiB/s ( 7.47/24.71%) |
      |   1M | 1992MiB/s ( 7.26/ 9.13%) | 1992MiB/s ( 9.21/19.11%) |
      +------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

  Note that the 64k read numbers look really odd to me for the baseline
  zero copy case, but are reproducible over many repeated runs.

  The bounce read numbers should further improve when moving the PI
  validation to the file system and removing the double context switch,
  which I have patches for that will sent out soon"

Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Erofs page cache sharing preliminaries:

   Plumb a void *private parameter through iomap_read_folio() and
   iomap_readahead() into iomap_iter->private, matching iomap DIO. Erofs
   uses this to replace a bogus kmap_to_page() call, as preparatory work
   for page cache sharing.

 - Fix for invalid folio access:

   Fix an invalid folio access when a folio without iomap_folio_state
   is fully submitted to the IO helper — the helper may call
   folio_end_read() at any time, so ctx->cur_folio must be invalidated
   after full submission.

iomap: add a flag to bounce buffer direct I/O

2026-01-28T12:16:40+00:00

Add a new flag that request bounce buffering for direct I/O.  This is
needed to provide the stable pages requirement requested by devices
that need to calculate checksums or parity over the data and allows
file systems to properly work with things like T10 protection
information.  The implementation just calls out to the new bio bounce
buffering helpers to allocate a bounce buffer, which is used for
I/O and to copy to/from it.

iomap: stash iomap read ctx in the private field of iomap_iter

2026-01-14T15:31:41+00:00

It's useful to get filesystem-specific information using the
existing private field in the @iomap_iter passed to iomap_{begin,end}
for advanced usage for iomap buffered reads, which is much like the
current iomap DIO.

For example, EROFS needs it to:

 - implement an efficient page cache sharing feature, since iomap
   needs to apply to anon inode page cache but we'd like to get the
   backing inode/fs instead, so filesystem-specific private data is
   needed to keep such information;

 - pass in both struct page * and void * for inline data to avoid
   kmap_to_page() usage (which is bogus).
