In cachestat, we access the folio from the page cache's xarray to compute
its page offset, and check for its dirty and writeback flags. However, we
do not hold a reference to the folio before performing these actions,
which means the folio can concurrently be released and reused as another
folio/page/slab.
Get around this altogether by just using xarray's existing machinery for
the folio page offsets and dirty/writeback states.
This changes behavior for tmpfs files to now always report zeroes in their
dirty and writeback counters. This is okay as tmpfs doesn't follow
conventional writeback cache behavior: its pages get "cleaned" during
swapout, after which they're no longer resident etc.

Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This extends the netfs helper library that network filesystems can use
to replace their own implementations. Both afs and 9p are ported. cifs
is ready as well but the patches are way bigger and will be routed
separately once this is merged. That will remove lots of code as well.
The overal goal is to get high-level I/O and knowledge of the page
cache and ouf of the filesystem drivers. This includes knowledge about
the existence of pages and folios
The pull request converts afs and 9p. This removes about 800 lines of
code from afs and 300 from 9p. For 9p it is now possible to do writes
in larger than a page chunks. Additionally, multipage folio support
can be turned on for 9p. Separate patches exist for cifs removing
another 2000+ lines. I've included detailed information in the
individual pulls I took.
Summary:
- Add NFS-style (and Ceph-style) locking around DIO vs buffered I/O
calls to prevent these from happening at the same time.
- Support for direct and unbuffered I/O.
- Support for write-through caching in the page cache.
- O_*SYNC and RWF_*SYNC writes use write-through rather than writing
to the page cache and then flushing afterwards.
- Support for write-streaming.
- Support for write grouping.
- Skip reads for which the server could only return zeros or EOF.
- The fscache module is now part of the netfs library and the
corresponding maintainer entry is updated.
- Some helpers from the fscache subsystem are renamed to mark them as
belonging to the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the netfs library.
- Follow-up fixes for the 9p conversion"

Implement support for unbuffered writes and direct I/O writes. If the write is misaligned with respect to the fscrypt block size, then RMW cycles are performed if necessary. DIO writes are a special case of unbuffered writes with extra restriction imposed, such as block size alignment requirements. Also provide a field that can tell the code to add some extra space onto the bounce buffer for use by the filesystem in the case of a content-encrypted file.

Implement support for unbuffered and DIO reads in the netfs library, utilising the existing read helper code to do block splitting and individual queuing. The code also handles extraction of the destination buffer from the supplied iterator, allowing async unbuffered reads to take place. The read will be split up according to the rsize setting and, if supplied, the ->clamp_length() method. Note that the next subrequest will be issued as soon as issue_op returns, without waiting for previous ones to finish. The network filesystem needs to pause or handle queuing them if it doesn't want to fire them all at the server simultaneously. Once all the subrequests have finished, the state will be assessed and the amount of data to be indicated as having being obtained will be determined. As the subrequests may finish in any order, if an intermediate subrequest is short, any further subrequests may be copied into the buffer and then abandoned. In the future, this will also take care of doing an unbuffered read from encrypted content, with the decryption being done by the library.

isize = i_size_read(inode) // 4096
// Read the latest isize 4096, but without smp_rmb(), there may be
// Load-Load disorder resulting in the data in the 2048-4096 range
// in the page is not up-to-date.
copy_page_to_iter
// copyout 4096
In the concurrency above, we read the updated i_size, but there is no read
barrier to ensure that the data in the page is the same as the i_size at
this point, so we may copy the unsynchronized page out. Hence adding the
missing read memory barrier to fix this.
This is a Load-Load reordering issue, which only occurs on some weak
mem-ordering architectures (e.g. ARM64, ALPHA), but not on strong
mem-ordering architectures (e.g. X86). And theoretically the problem
doesn't only happen on ext4, filesystems that call filemap_read() but
don't hold inode lock (e.g. btrfs, f2fs, ubifs ...) will have this
problem, while filesystems with inode lock (e.g. xfs, nfs) won't have
this problem.
