2026-06-05bpf: Implement resizable hashmap basic functionsMykyta Yatsenko
Use rhashtable_lookup_likely() for lookups, rhashtable_remove_fast() for deletes, and rhashtable_lookup_get_insert_fast() for inserts. Updates modify values in place under RCU rather than allocating a new element and swapping the pointer (as regular htab does). This trades read consistency for performance: concurrent readers may see partial updates. BPF_F_LOCK support and special-field handling (timers, kptrs, etc.) follow in a later commit. Initialize rhashtable with bpf_mem_alloc element cache. Require BPF_F_NO_PREALLOC. Limit max_entries to 2^31. Free elements via rhashtable_free_and_destroy().

2026-06-05rhashtable: Add rhashtable_next_key() APIMykyta Yatsenko
Introduce a simpler iteration mechanism for rhashtable that lets the caller continue from an arbitrary position by supplying the previous key, without the per-iterator state of the rhashtable_walk_* API. void *rhashtable_next_key(struct rhashtable *ht, const void *prev_key); Caller holds RCU; passes NULL prev_key for the first element or the previously returned key to advance. Walks tbl->future_tbl chain so in-flight rehashes are observed. Best-effort: in case of concurrent resize, provides no guarantees: - may produce duplicate elements - may skip any amount of elements - termination of the loop is not guaranteed in case of sustained rehash. Callers are advised to bound loop externally or avoid inserting new elements during such loop. Returns ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) if prev_key is not found. Behavior on tables with duplicate keys is undefined. rhltable is not supported — returns ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP).

2026-06-05iomap: teach iomap to read files with fsverityAndrey Albershteyn
Obtain fsverity info for folios with file data and fsverity metadata. Filesystem can pass vi down to ioend and then to fsverity for verification. This is different from other filesystems ext4, f2fs, btrfs supporting fsverity, these filesystems don't need fsverity_info for reading fsverity metadata. While reading merkle tree iomap requires fsverity info to synthesize hashes for zeroed data block. fsverity metadata has two kinds of holes - ones in merkle tree and one after fsverity descriptor. Merkle tree holes are blocks full of hashes of zeroed data blocks. These are not stored on the disk but synthesized on the fly. This saves a bit of space for sparse files. Due to this iomap also need to lookup fsverity_info for folios with fsverity metadata. ->vi has a hash of the zeroed data block which will be used to fill the merkle tree block. The hole past descriptor is interpreted as end of metadata region. As we don't have EOF here we use this hole as an indication that rest of the folio is empty. This patch marks rest of the folio beyond fsverity descriptor as uptodate. For file data, fsverity needs to verify consistency of the whole file against the root hash, hashes of holes are included in the merkle tree. Verify them too. Issue reading of fsverity merkle tree on the fsverity inodes. This way metadata will be available at I/O completion time. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2026-06-05iomap: introduce IOMAP_F_FSVERITY and teach writeback to handle fsverityAndrey Albershteyn
This flag indicates that I/O is for fsverity metadata. In the write path skip i_size check and i_size updates as metadata is past EOF. In writeback don't update i_size and continue writeback if even folio is beyond EOF. In read path don't zero fsverity folios, again they are past EOF. The iomap_block_needs_zeroing() is also called from write path. For folios of larger order we don't want to zero out pages in the folio as these could contain other merkle tree blocks. For fsverity, filesystem will request to read PAGE_SIZE memory regions. For data folios, iomap will zero the rest of the folio for anything which is beyond EOF. We don't want this for fsverity folios. Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says: Changed IOMAP_F_FSVERITY from (1U << 10) to (1U << 11) to avoid colliding with IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL, which already uses (1U << 10).

2026-06-05fsverity: generate and store zero-block hashAndrey Albershteyn
Compute the hash of one filesystem block's worth of zeros. A filesystem implementation can decide to elide merkle tree blocks containing only this hash and synthesize the contents at read time. Let's pretend that there's a file containing 131 data block and whose merkle tree looks roughly like this: root +--leaf0 | +--data0 | +--data1 | +--... | `--data128 `--leaf1 +--data129 +--data130 `--data131 If data[0-128] are sparse holes, then leaf0 will contain a repeating sequence of @zero_digest. Therefore, leaf0 need not be written to disk because its contents can be synthesized. A subsequent xfs patch will use this to reduce the size of the merkle tree when dealing with sparse gold master disk images and the like. Note that this works only on the first-level (data holes). fsverity doesn't store/generate zero_digest for any higher levels. Add a helper to pre-fill folio with hashes of empty blocks. This will be used by iomap to synthesize blocks full of zero hashes on the fly. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2026-06-05iomap: introduce IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL flagNamjae Jeon
In filesystems that maintain a separate Valid Data Length, such as exFAT and NTFS, a partial write may start at or beyond the current valid_size and extend it. In this case, the region after the previous valid_size but within the same filesystem block is considered unwritten. This patch introduces IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL. When this flag is set in iomap, __iomap_write_begin() will zero only the tail portion while preserving any valid data before it in the same block. Without this tail zeroing, stale data in the unwritten portion of the block can remain in the page cache. Subsequent reads can then return incorrect contents from that region.

2026-06-05wind ->s_roots via ->d_sib instead of ->d_hashAl Viro
shrink_dcache_for_umount() is supposed to handle the possibility of some of the dentries to be evicted being in other threads shrink lists; it either kills them, leaving an empty husk to be freed by the owner of shrink list whenever it gets around to that, or it waits for the eviction in progress to get completed. That relies upon dentry remaining attached to the tree until the eviction reaches dentry_unlist() and its ->d_sib gets removed from the list. Unfortunately, the secondary roots are linked via ->d_hash, rather than ->d_sib and they become removed from that list before their inode references are dropped. If shrink_dentry_list() from another thread ends up evicting one of the secondary roots and gets to that point in dentry_kill() when shrink_dcache_for_umount() is looking for secondary roots, the latter will *not* notice anything, possibly leading to warnings about busy inodes at umount time and all kinds of breakage after that. Moreover, shrink_dcache_for_umount() walks the list of secondary roots with no protection whatsoever, so it might end up calling dget() on a dentry that already passed through lockref_mark_dead(&dentry->d_lockref); ending up with corrupted refcount and possible UAF. AFAICS, the most straightforward way to deal with that would be to have secondary roots linked via ->d_sib rather than ->d_hash; then they would remain on the list until killed, and we could use d_add_waiter() machinery to wait for eviction in progress. Changes: * secondary roots look the same as ->s_root from d_unhashed() and d_unlinked() POV now. * secondary roots are represented as "no parent, but on ->d_sib" instead of "no parent, but on ->d_hash". * since ->d_sib is a plain hlist, we protect it with per-superblock spinlock (sb->s_roots_lock) instead of the LSB of the head pointer (for non-root dentries it would be protected by ->d_lock of parent). * __d_obtain_alias() uses ->d_sib for linkage when allocating a secondary root. * d_splice_alias_ops() detects splicing of a secondary root and removes it from the list before calling __d_move(). * dentry_unlist() detects eviction of a secondary root and removes it from the list; no need to play the games for d_walk() sake, since the latter is not going to look for the next sibling of those anyway. * ___d_drop() doesn't care about ->s_roots anymore. * shrink_dcache_for_umount() uses proper locking for access to the list of secondary roots and if it runs into one that is in the middle of eviction waits for that to finish.

2026-06-05fix a race between d_find_any_alias() and final dput() of NORCU dentriesAl Viro
Refcount of a NORCU dentry must not be incremented after having dropped to zero. Otherwise we might end up with the following race: CPU1: in fast_dput(d), rcu_read_lock(); CPU1: decrements refcount of d to 0 CPU1: notice that it's unhashed CPU2: grab a reference to d CPU2: dput(d), freeing d CPU1: ... looks like we need to evict d, let's grab ->d_lock, recheck the refcount, etc. and that spin_lock(&d->d_lock) ends up a UAF, despite still being in an RCU read-side critical area started back when the refcount had been positive. If not for DCACHE_NORCU in d->d_flags freeing would've been RCU-delayed, so we'd have grabbed ->d_lock, noticed the negative value stored into refcount by __dentry_kill(), dropped the locks and that would be it. For NORCU dentries freeing is _not_ delayed, though. Most of the non-counting references are excluded for NORCU dentries - they are not allowed to be hashed, they never get placed on LRU, they never get placed into anyone's list of children and while dput_to_list() might put them into a shrink list, nobody bumps refcount of something that had been reached that way. However, inode's list of aliases can be a problem - it does not contribute to dentry refcount (for obvious reasons) and we *do* have places that grab references to something found on that list - that's precisely what d_find_alias() is. In case of d_find_alias() we are safe - it skips unhashed aliases, so all NORCU ones are ignored there. d_find_any_alias() is *not* limited to hashed ones, though, and while it's usually called for directories (which never get NORCU dentries), there are callers that use it to get something for non-directories with no hashed aliases. Having d_find_any_alias() hit a NORCU dentry is not impossible - it can be easily arranged if you have CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH (memfd_create() + mmap() + name_to_handle_at() for /proc/self/map_files/<...> + munmap() + open_by_handle_at() will do that, and adding a second memfd_create() for mount_fd makes it possible to do that without having memfd pinned). The race window is narrow, and it's probably not feasible on bare hardware, but... It's not hard to fix, fortunately: * separate __d_find_dir_alias() (== current __d_find_any_alias()) to be used for directory inodes. * provide dget_alias_ilocked() that would return false for NORCU dentries with zero refcount and return true incrementing refcount otherwise * make __d_find_any_alias() go over the list of aliases, using dget_alias_ilocked() and returning the alias it succeeds on (normally the first one). Any NORCU alias with zero refcount is going to be evicted by the thread that had dropped the final reference; this makes __d_find_any_alias() pretend it had lost the race with eviction.

2026-06-05VFS: use wait_var_event for waiting in d_alloc_parallel()NeilBrown
Parallel lookup starts with a call of d_alloc_parallel(). That primitive either returns a matching hashed dentry or allocates a new one in the in-lookup state and returns it to the caller. Once the caller is done with lookup, it indicates so either by call of d_{splice_alias,add}() or by call of d_done_lookup(); at that point dentry leaves the in-lookup state. If d_alloc_parallel() finds a matching in-lookup dentry, it must wait for that dentry to leave the in-lookup state, one way or another. Currently by supplying wait_queue_head to d_alloc_parallel(). If d_alloc_parallel() creates a new in-lookup dentry, the address of that wait_queue_head is stored in ->d_wait of new dentry and stays there while it's in the in-lookup; subsequent d_alloc_parallel() will wait on the queue found in the matching in-lookup dentry. Transition out of in-lookup state wakes waiters on that queue (if any). That works, but the calling conventions are inconvenient - the caller must supply wait_queue_head and make sure that it survives at least until the new in-lookup dentry leaves the in-lookup state. That amounts to boilerplate in the d_alloc_parallel() callers that are followed by a call of d_lookup_done() in the same function; in cases like nfs asynchronous unlink it gets worse than that. This patch changes d_alloc_parallel() to use wake_up_var_locked() to wake up waiters, and wait_var_event_spinlock() to wait. dentry->d_lock is used for synchronisation as it is already held and the relevant times. That eliminates the need of caller-supplied wait_queue_head, simplifying the calling conventions. Better yet, we only need one bit of information stored in dentry itself: whether there are any waiters to be woken up, and that can be easily stored in ->d_flags; ->d_wait goes away. The reason we need that bit (DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS) is that with wait_var machinery the queues are shared with all kinds of stuff and there's no way tell if any of the waiters have anything to do with our dentry; most of the time none of them will be relevant, so we need to avoid the pointless wakeups. Another benefit of the new scheme comes from the fact that wakeups have to be done outside of write-side critical areas of ->i_dir_seq; with the old scheme we need to carry the value picked from ->d_wait from __d_lookup_unhash() to the place where we actually wake the waiters up. Now we can just leave DCACHE_LOOKUP_WAITERS in ->d_flags until we get to doing wakeups - that's done within the same ->d_lock scope, so we are fine; new bit is accessed only under ->d_lock and it's seen only on dentries with DCACHE_PAR_LOOKUP in ->d_flags. __d_lookup_unhash() no longer needs to re-init ->d_lru. That was previously shared (in a union) with ->d_wait but ->d_wait is now gone so it no longer corrupts ->d_lru.

Remove drvdata() and driver_type. - DRM: - Add GPUVM immediate mode abstraction for Rust GPU drivers: - In immediate mode, GPU virtual address space state is updated during job execution (in the DMA fence signalling critical path), keeping the GPUVM and the GPU's address space always in sync. - Provide GpuVm, GpuVa, and GpuVmBo types for managing address spaces, virtual mappings, and GEM object backing respectively. - Provide split-merge map/unmap operations that handle partial overlaps with existing mappings. - drm_exec integration for dma_resv locking and GEM object validation based on the external/evicted object lists are not yet covered and planned as follow-up work. - Introduce DeviceContext type state for drm::Device, allowing drivers to restrict operations to contexts where the device is guaranteed to be registered (or not yet registered) with userspace. - Add FEAT_RENDER flag to the Driver trait for render node support. - Nova: - Hopper/Blackwell enablement: - Add GPU identification and architecture-based HAL selection for Hopper (GH100) and Blackwell (GB100, GB202). - Implement the FSP (Foundation Security Processor) boot path used by Hopper and Blackwell, including FSP falcon engine support, EMEM operations, MCTP/NVDM message infrastructure, and FSP Chain of Trust boot with GSP lockdown release. - Add support for 32-bit firmware images and auto-detection of firmware image format. - Add architecture-specific framebuffer, sysmem flush, PCI config mirror, DMA mask, and WPR/non-WPR heap sizing. - GSP boot and unload: - Refactor the GSP boot process into a chipset-specific HAL, keeping the SEC2 and FSP boot paths separated cleanly. - Implement proper driver unload: send UNLOADING_GUEST_DRIVER command, run Booter Unloader and FWSEC-SB upon unbinding, and run the unload bundle on Gsp::boot() failure. This removes the need for a manual GPU reset between driver unbind and re-probe. - GA100 support: - Add support for the GA100 GPU, including IFR header detection and skipping, correct fwsignature selection, conditional FRTS boot, and documentation of the IFR header layout. - VBIOS hardening and refactoring: - Harden VBIOS parsing with checked arithmetic, bounds-checked accesses, and FromBytes-based structure reads throughout the FWSEC and Falcon data paths. Simplify the overall VBIOS module structure. - HRT adoption: - Use lifetime-parameterized pci::Bar directly, replacing the Arc<Devres<Bar0>> indirection. Replace ARef<Device> with &'bound Device in SysmemFlush and the GSP sequencer. Separate the driver type from driver data. - Misc: - Rename module names to kebab-case (nova-drm, nova-core). - Require little-endian in Kconfig, making the existing assumption explicit. - Tyr: - Define comprehensive typed register blocks for GPU_CONTROL, JOB_CONTROL, MMU_CONTROL (including per-address-space registers), and DOORBELL_BLOCK using the kernel register!() macro. This replaces manual bit manipulation with typed register and field accessors. - Add shmem-backed GEM objects and set DMA mask based on GPU physical address width. - Adopt HRT: separate driver type from driver data, and use IoMem directly instead of Devres for register access during probe. - Move clock cleanup into a Drop implementation.

2026-06-04mm/mglru: use folio_mark_accessed to replace folio_set_activeBarry Song (Xiaomi)
MGLRU gives high priority to folios mapped in page tables. As a result, folio_set_active() is invoked for all folios read during page faults. In practice, however, readahead can bring in many folios that are never accessed via page tables. A previous attempt by Lei Liu proposed introducing a separate LRU for readahead[1] to make readahead pages easier to reclaim, but that approach is likely over-engineered. Before commit 4d5d14a01e2c ("mm/mglru: rework workingset protection"), folios with PG_active were always placed in the youngest generation, leading to over-protection and increased refaults. After that commit, PG_active folios are placed in the second youngest generation, which is still too optimistic given the presence of readahead. In contrast, the classic active/inactive scheme is more conservative. This patch switches to using folio_mark_accessed() and begins prefaulted file folios from the second oldest generation instead of active generations. We should also adjust the following accordingly: - WORKINGSET_ACTIVATE: aligned with setting active for refaulted workingset folios; - lru_gen_folio_seq(): place (pre)faulted file folios into the second oldest generation; - promote second-scanned folios to workingset in folio_check_references(): we now have to depend on folio_lru_refs() > 1, since we previously relied on PG_referenced being set during the first scan, but PG_referenced is now set earlier.

2026-06-04mm/vma: eliminate mmap_action->error_hook, introduce error_overrideLorenzo Stoakes
Rather than providing a hook, simplify things by providing the ability to override mmap action errors. This allows us to more carefully validate the value provided and thus ensure only a valid error code is specified, and simplifies the interface. This way, we eliminate all hooks but mmap_prepare and allow only mmap actions to be specified (which core mm controls). This significantly improves robustness and eliminates any unnecessary code duplication in driver mmap hooks. We also update the /dev/mem logic (the only user) to use mmap_action->error_override instead.

2026-06-04mm/vma: remove mmap_action->success_hookLorenzo Stoakes
This hook was introduced to work around code that seemed to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer upon mmap(). However, providing this hook leaves a backdoor to drivers getting access to the very thing mmap_prepare eliminates - a pointer to the VMA. Let's solve this contradiction by removing it. The key intended user was hugetlb, however it seems that the best course now is to avoid allowing all drivers the ability to work around mmap_prepare, and find a different solution there.

2026-06-04drivers/char/mem: eliminate unnecessary use of success_hookLorenzo Stoakes
Patch series "remove mmap_action success, error hooks", v3. The mmap_action->success_hook was a strange beast added to enable code which appeared to absolutely require access to a VMA pointer to work correctly. Primarily this was for hugetlb, however a different approach will be taken there, as clearly more work is required to figure out a sensible way of converting hugetlb to use mmap_prepare. The other user was the memory char driver, specifically /dev/zero which has the unusual property of explicitly setting file-backed VMAs anonymous. Providing the success hook was always foolish, as it allowed drivers a way to workaround the restriction that they should not access a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-initialised VMA - which defeats the purpose of the mmap_prepare work. We can achieve the same thing in memory char driver without needing the success hook, so this series removes that, then removes the success hook altogether. The error hook is also unnecessary - the motivation for this was for functions which need to override the error code when performing an mmap action in order to avoid breaking userspace. We can achieve this by just providing a field for the error code. Doing this means we don't have to worry about the hook doing anything odd. We also add a check to ensure the error code is in fact valid. Again the memory char driver is the only current user of this, so this series updates it to use that. After this change mmap_action has no custom hooks at all, which seems rather more cromulent than before. This patch (of 3): /dev/zero, uniquely, marks memory mapped there as anonymous. This is currently achieved using the mmap_action->success_hook. However this hook circumvents the abstraction of VMA initialisation so it's preferable to do things a different way. To achieve this, this patch firstly defaults the VMA descriptor's vm_ops field to the dummy VMA operations, which is what file-backed VMAs default this field to. That way, we can detect whether a driver sets this field to NULL in order to mark it anonymous. We then introduce vma_desc_set_anonymous() to do this explicitly, and invoke it in mmap_zero_prepare(). This way, any driver which does not explicitly set desc->vm_ops, retains the dummy vm_ops as they would previously. We also update set_vma_user_defined_fields() to make clear that we are either setting vma->vm_ops to what is provided by the driver (or defaulting to dummy_vm_ops if not set), or setting the VMA anonymous. This lays the groundwork for removing the success hook.

2026-06-04net: ethtool: add netif_get_link_ksettings() for correct ops-locked useJakub Kicinski
__ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is exported and called from sysfs and many drivers. It invokes ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings so by our own docs it should be holding netdev lock for ops locked devices. Looks like commit 2bcf4772e45a ("net: ethtool: try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock") missed adding the ops lock here. There's a number of callers we need to fix up so let's add the netif_get_link_ksettings() helper first, without any actual locking changes (this commit is a nop). Not treating this as a fix because I don't think any driver cares at this point, but if we want to remove the rtnl_lock protection this will become critical.

This allows ktime_get_snapshot_id() to populate new hw_cycles and hw_csid fields in struct system_time_snapshot. For clocksources that are derived from an underlying counter (e.g., Hyper-V TSC page scales TSC to 10MHz, kvmclock scales TSC to 1GHz), this provides atomic access to both the derived value needed for timekeeping calculations, and the raw hardware counter needed by consumers like KVM's master clock and the vmclock PTP driver.

!CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU lockdep_is_cpus_held() and lockdep_is_cpus_write_held() are undefined when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This is ok because their few callers protect the calls with a "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) ..." check. It is error prone to require callers to protect lockdep_is_cpus_held() and lockdep_is_cpus_write_held() with an IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) check while the custom for equivalent functions, for example the more prevalent lockdep_is_held(), is to not require similar protection. It is also inconsistent with CPU hotplug lockdep code self since related call lockdep_assert_cpus_held() does not require protection. Create stubs for lockdep_is_cpus_held() and lockdep_is_cpus_write_held() that returns 1 (LOCK_STATE_UNKNOWN/LOCK_STATE_HELD) when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. This makes the CPU hotplug lockdep checks consistent while following existing lockdep custom. Drop the "extern" from the function declaration as part of the move to match kernel coding style. Keep the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU) checks in existing users since removing them would change the logic of these expressions.

2026-06-04mm: kick writeback flusher for IOCB_DONTCACHE with targeted dirty trackingJeff Layton
The IOCB_DONTCACHE writeback path in generic_write_sync() calls filemap_flush_range() on every write, submitting writeback inline in the writer's context. Perf lock contention profiling shows the performance problem is not lock contention but the writeback submission work itself — walking the page tree and submitting I/O blocks the writer for milliseconds, inflating p99.9 latency from 23ms (buffered) to 93ms (dontcache). Replace the inline filemap_flush_range() call with a flusher kick that drains dirty pages in the background. This moves writeback submission completely off the writer's hot path. To avoid flushing unrelated buffered dirty data, add a dedicated WB_start_dontcache bit and wb_check_start_dontcache() handler that uses the per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter to determine how many pages to write back. The flusher writes back that many pages from the oldest dirty inodes (not restricted to dontcache-specific inodes). This helps preserve I/O batching while limiting the scope of expedited writeback. Like WB_start_all, the WB_start_dontcache bit coalesces multiple DONTCACHE writes into a single flusher wakeup without per-write allocations. Use test_and_clear_bit to atomically consume the kick request before reading the dirty counter and starting writeback, so that concurrent DONTCACHE writes during writeback can re-set the bit and schedule a follow-up flusher run. Read the dirty counter with wb_stat_sum() (aggregating per-CPU batches) rather than wb_stat() (which reads only the global counter) to ensure small writes below the percpu batch threshold are visible to the flusher. In filemap_dontcache_kick_writeback(), set the WB_start_dontcache bit inside the unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end section for correct cgroup writeback domain targeting, but defer the wb_wakeup() call until after the section ends, since wb_wakeup() uses spin_unlock_irq() which would unconditionally re-enable interrupts while the i_pages xa_lock may still be held under irqsave during a cgroup writeback switch. Pin the wb with wb_get() inside the RCU critical section before calling wb_wakeup() outside it, since cgroup bdi_writeback structures are RCU-freed and the wb pointer could become invalid after unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() drops the RCU read lock. Also add WB_REASON_DONTCACHE as a new writeback reason for tracing visibility. dontcache-bench results (same host, T6F_SKL_1920GBF, 251 GiB RAM, xfs on NVMe, fio io_uring): Buffered and direct I/O paths are unaffected by this patchset. All improvements are confined to the dontcache path: Single-stream throughput (MB/s): Before After Change seq-write/dontcache 298 897 +201% rand-write/dontcache 131 236 +80% Tail latency improvements (seq-write/dontcache): p99: 135,266 us -> 23,986 us (-82%) p99.9: 8,925,479 us -> 28,443 us (-99.7%) Multi-writer (4 jobs, sequential write): Before After Change dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 2,529 4,532 +79% dontcache p99 (us) 8,553 1,002 -88% dontcache p99.9 (us) 109,314 1,057 -99% Dontcache multi-writer throughput now matches buffered (4,532 vs 4,616 MB/s). 32-file write (Axboe test): Before After Change dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 1,548 3,499 +126% dontcache p99 (us) 10,170 602 -94% Peak dirty pages (MB) 1,837 213 -88% Dontcache now reaches 81% of buffered throughput (was 35%). Competing writers (dontcache vs buffered, separate files): Before After buffered writer 868 433 MB/s dontcache writer 415 433 MB/s Aggregate 1,284 866 MB/s Previously the buffered writer starved the dontcache writer 2:1. With per-bdi_writeback tracking, both writers now receive equal bandwidth. The aggregate matches the buffered-vs-buffered baseline (863 MB/s), indicating fair sharing regardless of I/O mode. The dontcache writer's p99.9 latency collapsed from 119 ms to 33 ms (-73%), eliminating the severe periodic stalls seen in the baseline. Both writers now share identical latency profiles, matching the buffered-vs-buffered pattern. The per-bdi_writeback dirty tracking dramatically reduces peak dirty pages in dontcache workloads, with the 32-file test dropping from 1.8 GB to 213 MB. Dontcache sequential write throughput triples and multi-writer throughput reaches parity with buffered I/O, with tail latencies collapsing by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

2026-06-04mm: track DONTCACHE dirty pages per bdi_writebackJeff Layton
Add a per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter that tracks the number of dirty pages with the dropbehind flag set (i.e., pages dirtied via RWF_DONTCACHE writes). Increment the counter alongside WB_RECLAIMABLE in folio_account_dirtied() when the folio has the dropbehind flag set, and decrement it in folio_clear_dirty_for_io() and folio_account_cleaned(). Also decrement it when a non-DONTCACHE lookup atomically clears the dropbehind flag on a dirty folio in __filemap_get_folio_mpol(), using folio_test_clear_dropbehind() to prevent concurrent lookups from double-decrementing the counter, and guarding the decrement with mapping_can_writeback() to match the increment path. Transfer the counter alongside WB_RECLAIMABLE in inode_do_switch_wbs() so that the stat is properly migrated when an inode switches cgroup writeback domains. The counter will be used by the writeback flusher to determine how many pages to write back when expediting writeback for IOCB_DONTCACHE writes, without flushing the entire BDI's dirty pages.
