readahead: Convert page_cache_async_ra() to take a folio

2022-01-04T18:15:34+00:00

Using the folio here avoids checking whether it's a tail page.
This patch mostly just enables some of the following patches.

mm/readahead.c: fix incorrect comments for get_init_ra_size

In fact, formated values returned by get_init_ra_size are not that
intuitive.  This patch make the comments reflect its truth.

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock

2021-07-13T11:14:27+00:00

Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:

fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE)			read / fault / ..
  truncate_inode_pages_range()
						  
  

Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.

So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

mm: Implement readahead_control pageset expansion

2021-04-23T09:14:29+00:00

Provide a function, readahead_expand(), that expands the set of pages
specified by a readahead_control object to encompass a revised area with a
proposed size and length.

The proposed area must include all of the old area and may be expanded yet
more by this function so that the edges align on (transparent huge) page
boundaries as allocated.

The expansion will be cut short if a page already exists in either of the
areas being expanded into.  Note that any expansion made in such a case is
not rolled back.

This will be used by fscache so that reads can be expanded to cache granule
boundaries, thereby allowing whole granules to be stored in the cache, but
there are other potential users also.

Changes:
v6:
- Fold in a patch from Matthew Wilcox to tell the ondemand readahead
  algorithm about the expansion so that the next readahead starts at the
  right place[2].

v4:
- Moved the declaration of readahead_expand() to a better place[1].

mm/readahead: Handle ractl nr_pages being modified

2021-04-23T09:14:28+00:00

Filesystems are not currently permitted to modify the number of pages
in the ractl.  An upcoming patch to add readahead_expand() changes that
rule, so remove the check and resync the loop counter after every call
to the filesystem.

mm/filemap: Pass the file_ra_state in the ractl

2021-04-23T08:25:00+00:00

For readahead_expand(), we need to modify the file ra_state, so pass it
down by adding it to the ractl.  We have to do this because it's not always
the same as f_ra in the struct file that is already being passed.

mm: use limited read-ahead to satisfy read

2020-10-17T19:49:08+00:00

For the case where read-ahead is disabled on the file, or if the cgroup
is congested, ensure that we can at least do 1 page of read-ahead to
make progress on the read in an async fashion. This could potentially be
larger, but it's not needed in terms of functionality, so let's error on
the side of caution as larger counts of pages may run into reclaim
issues (particularly if we're congested).

This makes sure we're not hitting the potentially sync ->readpage() path
for IO that is marked IOCB_WAITQ, which could cause us to block. It also
means we'll use the same path for IO, regardless of whether or not
read-ahead happens to be disabled on the lower level device.
