Split the global inode_wb_list_lock into a per-bdi_writeback list_lock,
as it's currently the most contended lock in the system for metadata
heavy workloads. It won't help for single-filesystem workloads for
which we'll need the I/O-less balance_dirty_pages, but at least we
can dedicate a cpu to spinning on each bdi now for larger systems.
Based on earlier patches from Nick Piggin and Dave Chinner.
It reduces lock contentions to 1/4 in this test case:

There is no point to carry different refill policies between for_kupdate
and other type of works. Use a consistent "refill b_io iff empty" policy
which can guarantee fairness in an easy to understand way.
A b_io refill will setup a _fixed_ work set with all currently eligible
inodes and start a new round of walk through b_io. The "fixed" work set
means no new inodes will be added to the work set during the walk.
Only when a complete walk over b_io is done, new inodes that are
eligible at the time will be enqueued and the walk be started over.
This procedure provides fairness among the inodes because it guarantees
each inode to be synced once and only once at each round. So all inodes
will be free from starvations.
This change relies on wb_writeback() to keep retrying as long as we made
some progress on cleaning some pages and/or inodes. Without that ability,
the old logic on background works relies on aggressively queuing all
eligible inodes into b_io at every time. But that's not a guarantee.
The below test script completes a slightly faster now:

It maintains roughly the same small vs. large file writeout shares, and
offers large files better chances to be written in nice 4M chunks.
Analyzes from Dave Chinner in great details:
Let's say we have lots of inodes with 100 dirty pages being created,
and one large writeback going on. We expire 8 new inodes for every
1024 pages we write back.
With the old code, we do:
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l)
8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 8s)
writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (8s, 1l)
8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (8s, 1l, 8s)
writeback 8 small inodes 800 pages
1 large inode 224 pages -> b_more_io
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (8s, 1l)
8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (8s, 1l, 8s)
.....
Your new code:
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l)
8 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 8s)
writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io
(b_io == 8s)
writeback 8 small inodes 800 pages
b_io empty: (1800 pages written)
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l)
14 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 14s)
writeback large inode 1024 pages -> b_more_io
(b_io == 14s)
writeback 10 small inodes 1000 pages
1 small inode 24 pages -> b_more_io (1l, 1s(24))
writeback 5 small inodes 500 pages
b_io empty: (2548 pages written)
b_more_io (large inode) -> b_io (1l, 1s(24))
20 newly expired inodes -> b_io (1l, 1s(24), 20s)
......
Rough progression of pages written at b_io refill:
Old code:
total large file % of writeback
1024 224 21.9% (fixed)
New code:
total large file % of writeback
1800 1024 ~55%
2550 1024 ~40%
3050 1024 ~33%
3500 1024 ~29%
3950 1024 ~26%
4250 1024 ~24%
4500 1024 ~22.7%
4700 1024 ~21.7%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
4800 1024 ~21.3%
(pretty much steady state from here)
Ok, so the steady state is reached with a similar percentage of
writeback to the large file as the existing code. Ok, that's good,
but providing some evidence that is doesn't change the shared of
writeback to the large should be in the commit message ;)
The other advantage to this is that we always write 1024 page chunks
to the large file, rather than smaller "whatever remains" chunks.

Dynamically compute the dirty expire timestamp at queue_io() time.
writeback_control.older_than_this used to be determined at entrance to
the kupdate writeback work. This _static_ timestamp may go stale if the
kupdate work runs on and on. The flusher may then stuck with some old
busy inodes, never considering newly expired inodes thereafter.
This has two possible problems:
- It is unfair for a large dirty inode to delay (for a long time) the
writeback of small dirty inodes.
- As time goes by, the large and busy dirty inode may contain only
_freshly_ dirtied pages. Ignoring newly expired dirty inodes risks
delaying the expired dirty pages to the end of LRU lists, triggering
the evil pageout(). Nevertheless this patch merely addresses part
of the problem.
v2: keep policy changes inside wb_writeback() and keep the
wbc.older_than_this visibility as suggested by Dave.

writeback_inodes_wb()/__writeback_inodes_sb() are not aggressive in that
they only populate possibly a subset of eligible inodes into b_io at
entrance time. When the queued set of inodes are all synced, they just
return, possibly with all queued inode pages written but still
wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
For kupdate and background writeback, there may be more eligible inodes
sitting in b_dirty when the current set of b_io inodes are completed. So
it is necessary to try another round of writeback as long as we made some
progress in this round. When there are no more eligible inodes, no more
inodes will be enqueued in queue_io(), hence nothing could/will be
synced and we may safely bail.
For example, imagine 100 inodes
i0, i1, i2, ..., i90, i91, i99
At queue_io() time, i90-i99 happen to be expired and moved to s_io for
IO. When finished successfully, if their total size is less than
MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES, nr_to_write will be > 0. Then wb_writeback() will
quit the background work (w/o this patch) while it's still over
background threshold. This will be a fairly normal/frequent case I guess.
Now that we do tagged sync and update inode->dirtied_when after the sync,
this change won't livelock sync(1). I actually tried to write 1 page
per 1ms with this command
write-and-fsync -n10000 -S 1000 -c 4096 /fs/test
and do sync(1) at the same time. The sync completes quickly on ext4,
xfs, btrfs.

The flusher works on dirty inodes in batches, and may quit prematurely
if the batch of inodes happen to be metadata-only dirtied: in this case
wbc->nr_to_write won't be decreased at all, which stands for "no pages
written" but also mis-interpreted as "no progress".
So introduce writeback_control.inodes_written to count the inodes get
cleaned from VFS POV. A non-zero value means there are some progress on
writeback, in which case more writeback can be tried.

Explicitly update .dirtied_when on synced inodes, so that they are no
longer considered for writeback in the next round.
It can prevent both of the following livelock schemes:
- while true; do echo data >> f; done
- while true; do touch f; done (in theory)
The exact livelock condition is, during sync(1):
(1) no new inodes are dirtied
(2) an inode being actively dirtied
On (2), the inode will be tagged and synced with .nr_to_write=LONG_MAX.
When finished, it will be redirty_tail()ed because it's still dirty
and (.nr_to_write > 0). redirty_tail() won't update its ->dirtied_when
on condition (1). The sync work will then revisit it on the next
queue_io() and find it eligible again because its old ->dirtied_when
predates the sync work start time.
We'll do more aggressive "keep writeback as long as we wrote something"
logic in wb_writeback(). The "use LONG_MAX .nr_to_write" trick in commit
b9543dac5b ("writeback: avoid livelocking WB_SYNC_ALL writeback") will
no longer be enough to stop sync livelock.

sync(2) is performed in two stages: the WB_SYNC_NONE sync and the
WB_SYNC_ALL sync. Identify the first stage with .tagged_writepages and
do livelock prevention for it, too.
Jan's commit f446daaea9 ("mm: implement writeback livelock avoidance
using page tagging") is a partial fix in that it only fixed the
WB_SYNC_ALL phase livelock.
Although ext4 is tested to no longer livelock with commit f446daaea9,
it may due to some "redirty_tail() after pages_skipped" effect which
is by no means a guarantee for _all_ the file systems.
Note that writeback_inodes_sb() is called by not only sync(), they are
treated the same because the other callers also need livelock prevention.
Impact: It changes the order in which pages/inodes are synced to disk.
Now in the WB_SYNC_NONE stage, it won't proceed to write the next inode
until finished with the current inode.

tree, and then when it gets evicted again the root gets added back on the dead
roots list and is deleted again, so we have a double free. To stop this from
happening just return 0 if refs is 0 (and we're not the tree root since tree

UBIFS maintains per-filesystem and global clean znode counters
('c->clean_zn_cnt' and 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'). It is important to maintain
correct values there since the shrinker relies on 'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt'.
However, in case of failures during commit the counters were corrupted. E.g.,
if a failure happens in the middle of 'write_index()', then some nodes in the
commit list ('c->cnext') are marked as clean, and some are marked as dirty. And
the 'ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree()' frees does not retrun correct count, and we
end up with non-zero 'c->clean_zn_cnt' when unmounting. This means that if we
have 2 file-sytem and one of them fails, and we unmount it,
'ubifs_clean_zn_cnt' stays incorrect and confuses the shrinker.

the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.
Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.
This reverts commit 23ceb5b771.

Now that ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() is no longer using
ecryptfs_header_cache_2 to read in metadata, the kmem_cache can be
removed and the ecryptfs_header_cache_1 kmem_cache can be renamed to
ecryptfs_header_cache.

ecryptfs_lookup_interpose() has turned into spaghetti code over the
years. This is an effort to clean it up.
- Shorten overly descriptive variable names such as ecryptfs_dentry
- Simplify gotos and error paths
- Create helper function for reading plaintext i_size from metadata
It also includes an optimization when reading i_size from the metadata.
A complete page-sized kmem_cache_alloc() was being done to read in 16
bytes of metadata. The buffer for that is now statically declared.

Instead of having the calling functions translate the true/false return
code to either 0 or -EINVAL, have contains_ecryptfs_marker() return 0 or
-EINVAL so that the calling functions can just reuse the return code.
Also, rename the function to ecryptfs_validate_marker() to avoid callers
mistakenly thinking that it returns true/false codes.

Only unlock and d_add() new inodes after the plaintext inode size has
been read from the lower filesystem. This fixes a race condition that
was sometimes seen during a multi-job kernel build in an eCryptfs mount.

Implement pg_test vector to test for max IO sizes. We calculate
a max_io_size member only once, and cache it in lseg so to not
do so on every page insert.

By default, unless pnfs is used coalesce pages until pg_bsize
(rsize or wsize) is reached.
pnfs layout drivers define their own pg_test methods that use
pnfs_generic_pg_test and need to define their own I/O size
limits (e.g. based on the file stripe size).
[Move a check from nfs_pageio_do_add_request to nfs_generic_pg_test]
