Tahsin Erdogan 7452495555 writeback: inode cgroup wb switch should not call ihold()
Asynchronous wb switching of inodes takes an additional ref count on an
inode to make sure inode remains valid until switchover is completed.

However, anyone calling ihold() must already have a ref count on inode,
but in this case inode->i_count may already be zero:

Tetsuo Handa 78ebc2f714 mm,writeback: don't use memory reserves for wb_start_writeback
When writeback operation cannot make forward progress because memory
allocation requests needed for doing I/O cannot be satisfied (e.g.
under OOM-livelock situation), we can observe flood of order-0 page
allocation failure messages caused by complete depletion of memory
reserves.

This is caused by unconditionally allocating "struct wb_writeback_work"
objects using GFP_ATOMIC from PF_MEMALLOC context.

__alloc_pages_nodemask() {
  __alloc_pages_slowpath() {
    __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim() {
      __perform_reclaim() {
        current->flags |= PF_MEMALLOC;
        try_to_free_pages() {
          do_try_to_free_pages() {
            wakeup_flusher_threads() {
              wb_start_writeback() {
                kzalloc(sizeof(*work), GFP_ATOMIC) {
                  /* ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS via PF_MEMALLOC */
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
        current->flags &= ~PF_MEMALLOC;
      }
    }
  }
}

Since I/O is stalling, allocating writeback requests forever shall
deplete memory reserves.  Fortunately, since wb_start_writeback() can
fall back to wb_wakeup() when allocating "struct wb_writeback_work"
failed, we don't need to allow wb_start_writeback() to use memory
reserves.

Assuming that somebody will find a better solution, let's apply this
patch for now to stop bleeding, for this problem frequently prevents me
from testing OOM livelock condition.

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
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.

Tejun Heo aaf2559332 writeback, cgroup: fix use of the wrong bdi_writeback which mismatches the inode
When cgroup writeback is in use, there can be multiple wb's
(bdi_writeback's) per bdi and an inode may switch among them
dynamically.  In a couple places, the wrong wb was used leading to
performing operations on the wrong list under the wrong lock
corrupting the io lists.

* writeback_single_inode() was taking @wb parameter and used it to
  remove the inode from io lists if it becomes clean after writeback.
  The callers of this function were always passing in the root wb
  regardless of the actual wb that the inode was associated with,
  which could also change while writeback is in progress.

  Fix it by dropping the @wb parameter and using
  inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock the associated wb.

* After writeback_sb_inodes() writes out an inode, it re-locks @wb and
  inode to remove it from or move it to the right io list.  It assumes
  that the inode is still associated with @wb; however, the inode may
  have switched to another wb while writeback was in progress.

  Fix it by using inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() to determine and lock
  the associated wb after writeback is complete.  As the function
  requires the original @wb->list_lock locked for the next iteration,
  in the unlikely case where the inode has changed association, switch
  the locks.

Kudos to Tahsin for pinpointing these subtle breakages.

Tejun Heo 614a4e3773 writeback, cgroup: fix premature wb_put() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() wb_get()'s the wb associated with
the target inode, unlocks inode, locks the wb's list_lock and verifies
that the inode is still associated with the wb.  To prevent the wb
going away between dropping inode lock and acquiring list_lock, the wb
is pinned while inode lock is held.  The wb reference is put right
after acquiring list_lock citing that the wb won't be dereferenced
anymore.

This isn't true.  If the inode is still associated with the wb, the
inode has reference and it's safe to return the wb; however, if inode
has been switched, the wb still needs to be unlocked which is a
dereference and can lead to use-after-free if it it races with wb
destruction.

Fix it by putting the reference after releasing list_lock.

Tejun Heo a1a0e23e49 writeback: flush inode cgroup wb switches instead of pinning super_block
If cgroup writeback is in use, inodes can be scheduled for
asynchronous wb switching.  Before 5ff8eaac16 ("writeback: keep
superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches"), this
could race with umount leading to super_block being destroyed while
inodes are pinned for wb switching.  5ff8eaac16 fixed it by bumping
s_active while wb switches are in flight; however, this allowed
in-flight wb switches to make umounts asynchronous when the userland
expected synchronosity - e.g. fsck immediately following umount may
fail because the device is still busy.

This patch removes the problematic super_block pinning and instead
makes generic_shutdown_super() flush in-flight wb switches.  wb
switches are now executed on a dedicated isw_wq so that they can be
flushed and isw_nr_in_flight keeps track of the number of in-flight wb
switches so that flushing can be avoided in most cases.

v2: Move cgroup_writeback_umount() further below and add MS_ACTIVE
    check in inode_switch_wbs() as Jan an Al suggested.

Tejun Heo 5ff8eaac16 writeback: keep superblock pinned during cgroup writeback association switches
If cgroup writeback is in use, an inode is associated with a cgroup
for writeback.  If the inode's main dirtier changes to another cgroup,
the association gets updated asynchronously.  Nothing was pinning the
superblock while such switches are in progress and superblock could go
away while async switching is pending or in progress leading to
crashes like the following.

In earlier versions, mem_cgroup_css_from_page() could return non-root
css on a legacy hierarchy which can go away and required rcu locking;
however, the eventual version simply returns the root cgroup if memcg is

Junichi Nomura aa750fd71c mm/filemap.c: make global sync not clear error status of individual inodes
filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to
complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during
writeback.

The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).

However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.

As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:

   Application                    System admin
   ----------------------------------------------------------
   write data on page cache
                                  Run sync command
                                  writeback completes with error
                                  filemap_fdatawait() clears error
   fsync returns success
   (but the data is not on disk)

This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where
writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() uses list_for_each_entry_rcu_continue()
to walk @bdi->wb_list.  To set up the initial iteration
condition, it uses list_entry_rcu() to calculate the entry
pointer corresponding to the list head; however, this isn't an
actual RCU dereference and using list_entry_rcu() for it ended
up breaking a proposed list_entry_rcu() change because it was

Don't use the RCU variant for simple pointer offsetting.  Use
list_entry() instead.

Tejun Heo b817525a4a writeback: bdi_writeback iteration must not skip dying ones
bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue
writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi.
The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the
tree only indexes wb's which are currently active.

For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the
old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed.
The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its
inodes are drained.  As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes,
writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them.
bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and
failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's.

This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's
beloinging to that bdi.  wb's are added on creation and removed on
release rather than on the start of destruction.  bdi_for_each_wb()
usages are replaced with list_for_each[_continue]_rcu() iterations
over @bdi->wb_list and bdi_for_each_wb() and its helpers are removed.

v2: Updated as per Jan.  last_wb ref leak in bdi_split_work_to_wbs()
    fixed and unnecessary list head severing in cgwb_bdi_destroy()
    removed.

Chris Mason 590dca3a71 fs-writeback: unplug before cond_resched in writeback_sb_inodes
Commit 505a666ee3 ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes,
which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files
are written by the filesystem.  It helps both on flash and spindles.

For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives,
this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling
cond_resched().  cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so
explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces
latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages.

It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means
less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.

Many more details about how we got here:

Linus Torvalds 505a666ee3 writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and writeback_inodes_wb()
We had to revert the pluggin in writeback_sb_inodes() because the
wb->list_lock is held, but we could easily plug at a higher level before
taking that lock, and unplug after releasing it.  This does that.

Chris will run performance numbers, just to verify that this approach is
comparable to the alternative (we could just drop and re-take the lock
around the blk_finish_plug() rather than these two commits.

I'd have preferred waiting for actual performance numbers before picking
one approach over the other, but I don't want to release rc1 with the
known "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue, so I'll
pick this cleanup version for now.  But if the numbers show that we
really want to plug just at the writeback_sb_inodes() level, and we
should just play ugly games with the spinlock, we'll switch to that.

Linus Torvalds 0ba13fd19d Revert "writeback: plug writeback at a high level"
This reverts commit d353d7587d.

Doing the block layer plug/unplug inside writeback_sb_inodes() is
broken, because that function is actually called with a spinlock held:
wb->list_lock, as pointed out by Chris Mason.

Chris suggested just dropping and re-taking the spinlock around the
blk_finish_plug() call (the plgging itself can happen under the
spinlock), and that would technically work, but is just disgusting.

We do something fairly similar - but not quite as disgusting because we
at least have a better reason for it - in writeback_single_inode(), so
it's not like the caller can depend on the lock being held over the
call, but in this case there just isn't any good reason for that
"release and re-take the lock" pattern.

[ In general, we should really strive to avoid the "release and retake"
  pattern for locks, because in the general case it can easily cause
  subtle bugs when the caller caches any state around the call that
  might be invalidated by dropping the lock even just temporarily. ]

But in this case, the plugging should be easy to just move up to the
callers before the spinlock is taken, which should even improve the
effectiveness of the plug.  So there is really no good reason to play
games with locking here.

I'll send off a test-patch so that Dave Chinner can verify that that
plug movement works.  In the meantime this just reverts the problematic
commit and adds a comment to the function so that we hopefully don't
make this mistake again.

Linus Torvalds b0a1ea51bd Merge branch 'for-4.3/blkcg' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull blk-cg updates from Jens Axboe:
 "A bit later in the cycle, but this has been in the block tree for a a
  while.  This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our
  buffered cgroup writeback.  It was dependent on the other cgroup
  changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle.

  Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates:

   - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being
     skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure.

   - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism.

   - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup.

  Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling:

     cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup.  It didn't
     have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there
     was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO.
     writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each
     writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against.

     This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is
     tagged with.  Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group,
     which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data.  This
     makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution
     implemented by cfq.

     - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff.

     - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased.

  Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches:

     This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods
     and blk[c]g_policy_data handling.

     - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data.  exit dropped.

     - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data.

     - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct
       allocation.

     - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or
       blkcg.

  And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats
  handling:

    blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess.  This patchset
    tries to improve the situation a bit.

     - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and
       blkg creation.  This is in itself is an improvement and helps
       colllecting common stats on bio issue.

     - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request
       completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave
       the same way.  The issue was spotted by Vivek.

     - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle
       implements custom per-cpu stats.  This patchset make blkcg core
       support both by default.

     - cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of the same stats
       multiple times.  Unify them"

e79729123f ("writeback: don't issue wb_writeback_work if clean")
updated writeback path to avoid kicking writeback work items if there
are no inodes to be written out; unfortunately, the avoidance logic
was too aggressive and broke sync_inodes_sb().

* sync_inodes_sb() must write out I_DIRTY_TIME inodes but I_DIRTY_TIME
  inodes dont't contribute to bdi/wb_has_dirty_io() tests and were
  being skipped over.

* inodes are taken off wb->b_dirty/io/more_io lists after writeback
  starts on them.  sync_inodes_sb() skipping wait_sb_inodes() when
  bdi_has_dirty_io() breaks it by making it return while writebacks
  are in-flight.

This patch fixes the breakages by

* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from bdi_split_work_to_wbs().
  The callers are already testing the condition.

* Removing bdi_has_dirty_io() shortcut from sync_inodes_sb() so that
  it always calls into bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and wait_sb_inodes().

* Making bdi_split_work_to_wbs() consider the b_dirty_time list for
  WB_SYNC_ALL writebacks.

Tejun Heo 1ed8d48c57 writeback: bdi_for_each_wb() iteration is memcg ID based not blkcg
wb's (bdi_writeback's) are currently keyed by memcg ID; however, in an
earlier implementation, wb's were keyed by blkcg ID.
bdi_for_each_wb() walks bdi->cgwb_tree in the ascending ID order and
allows iterations to start from an arbitrary ID which is used to
interrupt and resume iterations.

Unfortunately, while changing wb to be keyed by memcg ID instead of
blkcg, bdi_for_each_wb() was missed and is still assuming that wb's
are keyed by blkcg ID.  This doesn't affect iterations which don't get
interrupted but bdi_split_work_to_wbs() makes use of iteration
resuming on allocation failures and thus may incorrectly skip or
repeat wb's.

Fix it by changing bdi_for_each_wb() to take memcg IDs instead of
blkcg IDs and updating bdi_split_work_to_wbs() accordingly.

Dave Chinner c7f5408493 inode: rename i_wb_list to i_io_list
There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback
naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and
b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or
i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to
the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either
way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be
confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this!

So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can
add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

Dave Chinner e97fedb9ef sync: serialise per-superblock sync operations
When competing sync(2) calls walk the same filesystem, they need to
walk the list of inodes on the superblock to find all the inodes
that we need to wait for IO completion on. However, when multiple
wait_sb_inodes() calls do this at the same time, they contend on the
the inode_sb_list_lock and the contention causes system wide
slowdowns. In effect, concurrent sync(2) calls can take longer and
burn more CPU than if they were serialised.

Stop the worst of the contention by adding a per-sb mutex to wrap
around wait_sb_inodes() so that we only execute one sync(2) IO
completion walk per superblock superblock at a time and hence avoid
contention being triggered by concurrent sync(2) calls.

Dave Chinner d353d7587d writeback: plug writeback at a high level
Doing writeback on lots of little files causes terrible IOPS storms
because of the per-mapping writeback plugging we do. This
essentially causes imeediate dispatch of IO for each mapping,
regardless of the context in which writeback is occurring.

IOWs, running a concurrent write-lots-of-small 4k files using fsmark
on XFS results in a huge number of IOPS being issued for data
writes.  Metadata writes are sorted and plugged at a high level by
XFS, so aggregate nicely into large IOs. However, data writeback IOs
are dispatched in individual 4k IOs, even when the blocks of two
consecutively written files are adjacent.

Test VM: 8p, 8GB RAM, 4xSSD in RAID0, 100TB sparse XFS filesystem,
metadata CRCs enabled.

Kernel: 3.10-rc5 + xfsdev + my 3.11 xfs queue (~70 patches)

Test:

$ ./fs_mark  -D  10000  -S0  -n  10000  -s  4096  -L  120  -d
/mnt/scratch/0  -d  /mnt/scratch/1  -d  /mnt/scratch/2  -d
/mnt/scratch/3  -d  /mnt/scratch/4  -d  /mnt/scratch/5  -d
/mnt/scratch/6  -d  /mnt/scratch/7

Result:

		wall	sys	create rate	Physical write IO
		time	CPU	(avg files/s)	 IOPS	Bandwidth
		-----	-----	------------	------	---------
unpatched	6m56s	15m47s	24,000+/-500	26,000	130MB/s
patched		5m06s	13m28s	32,800+/-600	 1,500	180MB/s
improvement	-26.44%	-14.68%	  +36.67%	-94.23%	+38.46%

If I use zero length files, this workload at about 500 IOPS, so
plugging drops the data IOs from roughly 25,500/s to 1000/s.
3 lines of code, 35% better throughput for 15% less CPU.

The benefits of plugging at this layer are likely to be higher for
spinning media as the IO patterns for this workload are going make a
much bigger difference on high IO latency devices.....

Tejun Heo dd73e4b7df writeback: do foreign inode detection iff cgroup writeback is enabled
Currently, even when a filesystem doesn't set the FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK
flag, if the filesystem uses wbc_init_bio() and wbc_account_io(), the
foreign inode detection and migration logic still ends up activating
cgroup writeback which is unexpected.  This patch ensures that the
foreign inode detection logic stays disabled when inode_cgwb_enabled()
is false by not associating writeback_control's with bdi_writeback's.

This also avoids unnecessary operations in wbc_init_bio(),
wbc_account_io() and wbc_detach_inode() for filesystems which don't
support cgroup writeback.

Tejun Heo e8a7abf5a5 writeback: disassociate inodes from dying bdi_writebacks
For the purpose of foreign inode detection, wb's (bdi_writeback's) are
identified by the associated memcg ID.  As we create a separate wb for
each memcg, this is enough to identify the active wb's; however, when
blkcg is enabled or disabled higher up in the hierarchy, the mapping
between memcg and blkcg changes which in turn creates a new wb to
service the new mapping.  The old wb is unlinked from index and
released after all references are drained.  The foreign inode
detection logic can't detect this condition because both the old and
new wb's point to the same memcg and thus never decides to move inodes
attached to the old wb to the new one.

This patch adds logic to initiate switching immediately in
wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode() if the associated wb is dying.  We can
make the usual foreign detection logic to distinguish the different
wb's mapped to the memcg but the dying wb is never gonna be in active
service again and there's no point in tracking the usage history and
reaching the switch verdict after enough data points are collected.
It's already known that the wb has to be switched.

Tejun Heo d10c809552 writeback: implement foreign cgroup inode bdi_writeback switching
As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare
and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely
confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks
ownership per-inode.  While the support for concurrent write sharing
of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by
different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common,
and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead
to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to
gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed).

To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier
of an inode and transfers the ownership to it.  The previous patches
implemented the foreign condition detection mechanism and laid the
groundwork.  This patch implements the actual switching.

With the previously implemented [unlocked_]inode_to_wb_and_list_lock()
and wb stat transaction, grabbing wb->list_lock, inode->i_lock and
mapping->tree_lock gives us full exclusion against all wb operations
on the target inode.  inode_switch_wb_work_fn() grabs all the locks
and transfers the inode atomically along with its RECLAIMABLE and
WRITEBACK stats.

Tejun Heo aaa2cacf81 writeback: add lockdep annotation to inode_to_wb()
With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction.  This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.

This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily.  There are three
exceptions.

* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
  wb may not be the inode's.  Ensuring that is the function's role
  after all.  Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.

* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
  of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock().  Updated to deref inode->i_wb
  directly.

* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
  starting the transaction.  Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
  inode->i_wb directly.

v5: might_lock() removed.  It annotates that the lock is grabbed w/
    irq enabled which isn't the case and triggering lockdep warning
    spuriously.

v4: might_lock() added to unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin().

v3: inode_congested() conversion added.

v2: locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() was missing in the first
    version.

Similar to wb stat updates, inode_congested() accesses the associated
wb of an inode locklessly, which will break with foreign inode wb
switching.  This path updates inode_congested() to use unlocked inode
wb access transaction introduced by the previous patch.

Combined with the previous two patches, this makes all wb list and

Tejun Heo 682aa8e1a6 writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat updates
The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place.  This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.

This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions.  First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode.  Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.

The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively.  As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.

This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg.  Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end().  During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.

In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.

This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.

v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
    unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
    mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.

v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
    Function names and comments updated accordingly.

Tejun Heo 87e1d789bf writeback: implement [locked_]inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
cgroup writeback currently assumes that inode to wb association
doesn't change; however, with the planned foreign inode wb switching
mechanism, the association will change dynamically.

When an inode needs to be put on one of the IO lists of its wb, the
current code simply calls inode_to_wb() and locks the returned wb;
however, with the planned wb switching, the association may change
before locking the wb and may even get released.

This patch implements [locked_]inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() which pins
the associated wb while holding i_lock, releases it, acquires
wb->list_lock and verifies that the association hasn't changed
inbetween.  As the association will be protected by both locks among
other things, this guarantees that the wb is the inode's associated wb
until the list_lock is released.

Tejun Heo 2a81490811 writeback: implement foreign cgroup inode detection
As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare
and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely
confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks
ownership per-inode.  While the support for concurrent write sharing
of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by
different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common,
and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead
to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to
gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed).

To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier
of an inode and will transfer the ownership to it.  To avoid
unnnecessary oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of
history and gives out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage
pattern is stable over a certain amount of time and/or writeback
attempts.

The detection mechanism has fairly low space and computation overhead.
It adds 8 bytes to struct inode (one int and two u16's) and minimal
amount of calculation per IO.  The detection mechanism converges to
the correct answer usually in several seconds of IO time when there's
a clear majority dirtier.  Even when there isn't, it can reach an
acceptable answer fairly quickly under most circumstances.

Please see wb_detach_inode() for more details.

This patch only implements detection.  Following patches will
implement actual switching.

v2: wbc_account_io() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
    wb before dereferencing it.  This can happen when pageout() is
    writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
    path.  As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
    be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
    actual writing to the usual writeback path.

Tejun Heo b16b1deb55 writeback: make writeback_control track the inode being written back
Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection.  wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.

This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back.  IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves.  This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user.  The function is removed.

wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback).  Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection.  The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.

As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.

v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
    wb before dereferencing it.  This can happen when pageout() is
    writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
    path.  As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
    be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate

__wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and

The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is

their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
__wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least.  This

* __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
  parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.

* mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
  caller - balance_dirty_pages().

* fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
  mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.

* While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().

Except for the lockdep addition, this is pure reorganization and

This patch implements bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and use it to make these

bdi_split_work_to_wbs() takes a base wb_writeback_work and create

work's nr_pages is distributed using wb_split_bdi_pages() -
ie. according to each wb's write bandwidth's proportion in the bdi.

Cloning a bdi involves memory allocation which may fail.  In such
cases, bdi_split_work_to_wbs() issues the base work directly and waits
for its completion before proceeding to the next wb to guarantee
forward progress and correctness under memory pressure.

Tejun Heo f30a7d0cc8 writeback: restructure try_writeback_inodes_sb[_nr]()
try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() wraps writeback_inodes_sb_nr() so that it
handles s_umount locking and skips if writeback is already in
progress.  The in progress test is performed on the root wb
(bdi_writeback) which isn't sufficient for cgroup writeback support.
The test must be done per-wb.

To prepare for the change, this patch factors out
__writeback_inodes_sb_nr() from writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and adds
@skip_if_busy and moves the in progress test right before queueing the
wb_writeback_work.  try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() now just grabs
s_umount and invokes __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() with asserted
@skip_if_busy.  This way, later addition of multiple wb handling can
skip only the wb's which already have writeback in progress.

This swaps the order between in progress test and s_umount test which
can flip the return value when writeback is in progress and s_umount
is being held by someone else but this shouldn't cause any meaningful
difference.  It's a fringe condition and the return value is an
unsynchronized hint anyway.

issuedto accomplish a single task.  The previous patch updated the
waiting mechanism such that wb_wait_for_completion() can wait for

Issuing mulitple work items involves memory allocation which may fail.
As most writeback operations can't fail or blocked on memory
allocation, in such cases, we'll fall back to sequential issuing of an
on-stack work item, which would need to be waited upon sequentially.

cgroup writeback support, it's necessary to issue multiple work items
to multiple bdi_writebacks and wait for the completion of all.

This patch implements wb_completion which can wait for multiple work
items and replaces the struct completion with it.  It can be defined
using DEFINE_WB_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(), used for multiple work items and
waited for by wb_wait_for_completion().

Nobody currently issues multiple work items and this patch doesn't
introduce any behavior changes.

Tejun Heo ac7b19a34f writeback: add wb_writeback_work->auto_free
Currently, a wb_writeback_work is freed automatically on completion if
it doesn't have ->done set.  Add wb_writeback_work->auto_free to make
the switch explicit.  This will help cgroup writeback support where
waiting for completion and whether to free automatically don't
necessarily move together.

Tejun Heo 001fe6f617 writeback: make wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() handle multiple bdi_writeback's
wakeup_dirtytime_writeback() currently only starts writeback on the
root wb (bdi_writeback).  For cgroup writeback support, update the
function to check all wbs.

Tejun Heo f2b6512160 writeback: make wakeup_flusher_threads() handle multiple bdi_writeback's
wakeup_flusher_threads() currently only starts writeback on the root
wb (bdi_writeback).  For cgroup writeback support, update the function
to wake up all wbs and distribute the number of pages to write
according to the proportion of each wb's write bandwidth, which is
implemented in wb_split_bdi_pages().
