mm: remove cleancache

2022-01-22T06:33:38+00:00

Patch series "remove Xen tmem leftovers".

Since the removal of the Xen tmem driver in 2019, the cleancache hooks
are entirely unused, as are large parts of frontswap.  This series
against linux-next (with the folio changes included) removes
cleancaches, and cuts down frontswap to the bits actually used by zswap.

This patch (of 13):

The cleancache subsystem is unused since the removal of Xen tmem driver
in commit 814bbf49dcd0 ("xen: remove tmem driver").

mm/migrate.c: rework migration_entry_wait() to not take a pageref

2022-01-22T06:33:34+00:00

This fixes the FIXME in migrate_vma_check_page().

Before migrating a page migration code will take a reference and check
there are no unexpected page references, failing the migration if there
are.  When a thread faults on a migration entry it will take a temporary
reference to the page to wait for the page to become unlocked signifying
the migration entry has been removed.

This reference is dropped just prior to waiting on the page lock,
however the extra reference can cause migration failures so it is
desirable to avoid taking it.

As migration code already has a reference to the migrating page an extra
reference to wait on PG_locked is unnecessary so long as the reference
can't be dropped whilst setting up the wait.

When faulting on a migration entry the ptl is taken to check the
migration entry.  Removing a migration entry also requires the ptl, and
migration code won't drop its page reference until after the migration
entry has been removed.  Therefore retaining the ptl of a migration
entry is sufficient to ensure the page has a reference.  Reworking
migration_entry_wait() to hold the ptl until the wait setup is complete
means the extra page reference is no longer needed.

filemap: Use folio_put_refs() in filemap_free_folio()

2022-01-17T00:52:13+00:00

This shrinks filemap_free_folio() by 55 bytes in my .config; 24 bytes
from removing the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() and 31 bytes from unifying the
small/large folio paths.

We could just use folio_ref_sub() here since the caller should hold a
reference (as the VM_BUG_ON_FOLIO() was asserting), but that's fragile.

2022-01-12T20:37:02+00:00

Pull folio conversion updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Convert much of the page cache to use folios

  This stops just short of actually enabling large folios. It converts
  everything that I noticed needs to be converted, but there may still
  be places I've overlooked which still have page size assumptions.

  The big change here is using large entries in the page cache XArray
  instead of many small entries. That only affects shmem for now, but
  it's a pretty big change for shmem since it changes where memory needs
  to be allocated (at split time instead of insertion)"

mm: Use multi-index entries in the page cache

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

We currently store large folios as 2^N consecutive entries.  While this
consumes rather more memory than necessary, it also turns out to be buggy.
A writeback operation which starts within a tail page of a dirty folio will
not write back the folio as the xarray's dirty bit is only set on the
head index.  With multi-index entries, the dirty bit will be found no
matter where in the folio the operation starts.

This does end up simplifying the page cache slightly, although not as
much as I had hoped.

mm: Convert find_lock_entries() to use a folio_batch

2022-01-08T05:28:41+00:00

find_lock_entries() already only returned the head page of folios, so
convert it to return a folio_batch instead of a pagevec.  That cascades
through converting truncate_inode_pages_range() to
delete_from_page_cache_batch() and page_cache_delete_batch().

The callers have all been converted to work on folios, so convert
find_get_entries() to return a batch of folios instead of pages.
We also now return multiple large folios in a single call.
