2019-01-04mm/page_io.c: fix polled swap page inJens Axboe1-1/+3
swap_readpage() wants to do polling to bring in pages if asked to, but it doesn't mark the bio as being polled. Additionally, the looping around the blk_poll() check isn't correct - if we get a zero return, we should call io_schedule(), we can't just assume that the bio has completed. The regular bio->bi_private check should be used for that.

2019-01-02block: don't use un-ordered __set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE)Linus Torvalds1-2/+1
This mostly reverts commit 849a370016a5 ("block: avoid ordered task state change for polled IO"). It was wrongly claiming that the ordering wasn't necessary. The memory barrier _is_ necessary. If something is truly polling and not going to sleep, it's the whole state setting that is unnecessary, not the memory barrier. Whenever you set your state to a sleeping state, you absolutely need the memory barrier. Note that sometimes the memory barrier can be elsewhere. For example, the ordering might be provided by an external lock, or by setting the process state to sleeping before adding yourself to the wait queue list that is used for waking up (where the wait queue lock itself will guarantee that any wakeup will correctly see the sleeping state). But none of those cases were true here. NOTE! Some of the polling paths may indeed be able to drop the state setting entirely, at which point the memory barrier also goes away. (Also note that this doesn't revert the TASK_RUNNING cases: there is no race between a wakeup and setting the process state to TASK_RUNNING, since the end result doesn't depend on ordering).

2018-11-26block: make blk_poll() take a parameter on whether to spin or notJens Axboe1-1/+1
blk_poll() has always kept spinning until it found an IO. This is fine for SYNC polling, since we need to find one request we have pending, but in preparation for ASYNC polling it can be beneficial to just check if we have any entries available or not. Existing callers are converted to pass in 'spin == true', to retain the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2018-11-19block: avoid ordered task state change for polled IOJens Axboe1-1/+2
For the core poll helper, the task state setting don't need to imply any atomics, as it's the current task itself that is being modified and we're not going to sleep. For IRQ driven, the wakeup path have the necessary barriers to not need us using the heavy handed version of the task state setting.

2018-11-16block: add polled wakeup task helperJens Axboe1-1/+1
If we're polling for IO on a device that doesn't use interrupts, then IO completion loop (and wake of task) is done by submitting task itself. If that is the case, then we don't need to enter the wake_up_process() function, we can simply mark ourselves as TASK_RUNNING.

2018-10-26mm: split SWP_FILE into SWP_ACTIVATED and SWP_FSOmar Sandoval1-3/+3
The SWP_FILE flag serves two purposes: to make swap_{read,write}page() go through the filesystem, and to make swapoff() call ->swap_deactivate(). For Btrfs, we want the latter but not the former, so split this flag into two. This makes us always call ->swap_deactivate() if ->swap_activate() succeeded, not just if it didn't add any swap extents itself. This also resolves the issue of the very misleading name of SWP_FILE, which is only used for swap files over NFS.

2018-10-24iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functionsDavid Howells1-1/+1
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places. Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions. Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function. The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required.

2017-11-15mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous deviceMinchan Kim1-3/+3
With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively and swap-in is crucial to application latency. The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4 decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be bigger in nvdimm. This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device. It enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from 2.41sec to 1.64sec).

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-09-06mm: test code to write THP to swap device as a wholeHuang Ying1-5/+16
To support delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after swapped out, we need to enhance swap writing code to support to write a THP as a whole. This will improve swap write IO performance. As Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> pointed out, this should be based on multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet. So this patch is only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the series. And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is merged.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig1-8/+9
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

2017-07-10swap: add block io poll in swapin pathShaohua Li1-2/+21
For fast flash disk, async IO could introduce overhead because of context switch. block-mq now supports IO poll, which improves performance and latency a lot. swapin is a good place to use this technique, because the task is waiting for the swapin page to continue execution. In my virtual machine, directly read 4k data from a NVMe with iopoll is about 60% better than that without poll. With iopoll support in swapin patch, my microbenchmark (a task does random memory write) is about 10%~25% faster. CPU utilization increases a lot though, 2x and even 3x CPU utilization. This will depend on disk speed. While iopoll in swapin isn't intended for all usage cases, it's a win for latency sensistive workloads with high speed swap disk. block layer has knob to control poll in runtime. If poll isn't enabled in block layer, there should be no noticeable change in swapin. I got a chance to run the same test in a NVMe with DRAM as the media. In simple fio IO test, blkpoll boosts 50% performance in single thread test and ~20% in 8 threads test. So this is the base line. In above swap test, blkpoll boosts ~27% performance in single thread test. blkpoll uses 2x CPU time though. If we enable hybid polling, the performance gain has very slight drop but CPU time is only 50% worse than that without blkpoll. Also we can adjust parameter of hybid poll, with it, the CPU time penality is reduced further. In 8 threads test, blkpoll doesn't help though. The performance is similar to that without blkpoll, but cpu utilization is similar too. There is lock contention in swap path. The cpu time spending on blkpoll isn't high. So overall, blkpoll swapin isn't worse than that without it. The swapin readahead might read several pages in in the same time and form a big IO request. Since the IO will take longer time, it doesn't make sense to do poll, so the patch only does iopoll for single page swapin.

2016-09-19mm: fix the page_swap_info() BUG_ON checkSantosh Shilimkar1-0/+3
Commit 62c230bc1790 ("mm: add support for a filesystem to activate swap files and use direct_IO for writing swap pages") replaced the swap_aops dirty hook from __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() with swap_set_page_dirty(). For normal cases without these special SWP flags code path falls back to __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() so the behaviour is expected to be the same as before. But swap_set_page_dirty() makes use of the page_swap_info() helper to get the swap_info_struct to check for the flags like SWP_FILE, SWP_BLKDEV etc as desired for those features. This helper has BUG_ON(!PageSwapCache(page)) which is racy and safe only for the set_page_dirty_lock() path. For the set_page_dirty() path which is often needed for cases to be called from irq context, kswapd() can toggle the flag behind the back while the call is getting executed when system is low on memory and heavy swapping is ongoing. This ends up with undesired kernel panic. This patch just moves the check outside the helper to its users appropriately to fix kernel panic for the described path. Couple of users of helpers already take care of SwapCache condition so I skipped them.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-03-22zram: revive swap_slot_free_notifyMinchan Kim1-43/+50
Commit b430e9d1c6d4 ("remove compressed copy from zram in-memory") applied swap_slot_free_notify call in *end_swap_bio_read* to remove duplicated memory between zram and memory. However, with the introduction of rw_page in zram: 8c7f01025f7b ("zram: implement rw_page operation of zram"), it became void because rw_page doesn't need bio. Memory footprint is really important in embedded platforms which have small memory, for example, 512M) recently because it could start to kill processes if memory footprint exceeds some threshold by LMK or some similar memory management modules. This patch restores the function for rw_page, thereby eliminating this duplication.

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig1-7/+5
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Name the unnamed union as u in order to fix build failure" Let's do this instead: there is only one place in the entire tree that steps into this breakage. Anon structs and unions work in older gcc versions; as the matter of fact, we have those in the tree - see e.g. struct ieee80211_tx_info in include/net/mac80211.h What doesn't work is handling their initializers: struct { int a; union { int b; char c; }; } x[2] = {{.a = 1, .c = 'a'}, {.a = 0, .b = 1}}; is the obvious syntax for initializer, perfectly fine for C11 and handled correctly by gcc-4.7 or later. Earlier versions, though, break on it - declaration is fine and so's access to fields (i.e. x[0].c = 'a'; would produce the right code), but members of the anon structs and unions are not inserted into the right namespace. Tellingly, those older versions will not barf on struct {int a; struct {int a;};}; - looks like they just have it hacked up somewhere around the handling of . and -> instead of doing the right thing. The easiest way to deal with that crap is to turn initialization of those fields (in the only place where we have such initializer of iov_iter) into plain assignment.

Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of this pile" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (70 commits) lock_parent: don't step on stale ->d_parent of all-but-freed one kill generic_file_splice_write() ceph: switch to iter_file_splice_write() shmem: switch to iter_file_splice_write() nfs: switch to iter_splice_write_file() fs/splice.c: remove unneeded exports ocfs2: switch to iter_file_splice_write() ->splice_write() via ->write_iter() bio_vec-backed iov_iter optimize copy_page_{to,from}_iter() bury generic_file_aio_{read,write} lustre: get rid of messing with iovecs ceph: switch to ->write_iter() ceph_sync_direct_write: stop poking into iov_iter guts ceph_sync_read: stop poking into iov_iter guts new helper: copy_page_from_iter() fuse: switch to ->write_iter() btrfs: switch to ->write_iter() ocfs2: switch to ->write_iter() xfs: switch to ->write_iter() ...
2014-06-04swap: use bdev_read_page() / bdev_write_page()Matthew Wilcox1-1/+20
By calling the device driver to write the page directly, we avoid allocating a BIO, which allows us to free memory without allocating memory.

2014-05-06bio_vec-backed iov_iterAl Viro1-7/+12
New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with bio_vec array instead of iovec one. Primitives taught to deal with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind of iov_iter. Note that bio_vec is just a <page, offset, length> triple - there's nothing block-specific about it. I've left the definition where it was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK. Next target: ->splice_write()... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2014-05-06start adding the tag to iov_iterAl Viro1-1/+1
For now, just use the same thing we pass to ->direct_IO() - it's all iovec-based at the moment. Pass it explicitly to iov_iter_init() and account for kvec vs. iovec in there, by the same kludge NFS ->direct_IO() uses. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
