<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>btrfs: zlib: introduce zlib_compress_bio() helper</title>
<updated>2026-02-03T06:59:06Z</updated>

<id>urn:sha1:3d74a7556fbab89a3e78f514cf39d3413b9963d1</id>
<content type='text'>
The new helper has the following enhancements against the existing
zlib_compress_folios()

- Much smaller parameter list

  No more shared IN/OUT members, no need to pre-allocate a
  compressed_folios[] array.

  Just a workspace and compressed_bio pointer, everything we need can be
  extracted from that @cb pointer.

- Ready-to-be-submitted compressed bio

  Although the caller still needs to do some common works like
  rounding up and zeroing the tailing part of the last fs block.

<title>btrfs: zlib: use folio_iter to handle zlib_decompress_bio()</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently zlib_decompress_bio() is using
compressed_bio-&gt;compressed_folios[] array to grab each compressed folio.

However cb-&gt;compressed_folios[] is just a pointer to each folio of the
compressed bio, meaning we can just replace the compressed_folios[]
array by just grabbing the folio inside the compressed bio.

<title>btrfs: zlib: fix the folio leak on S390 hardware acceleration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d0f1314e8f86f5205f71f9e31e272a1d008e40b</id>
<content type='text'>
[BUG]
After commit aa60fe12b4f4 ("btrfs: zlib: refactor S390x HW acceleration
buffer preparation"), we no longer release the folio of the page cache
of folio returned by btrfs_compress_filemap_get_folio() for S390
hardware acceleration path.

[CAUSE]
Before that commit, we call kumap_local() and folio_put() after handling
each folio.

Although the timing is not ideal (it release previous folio at the
beginning of the loop, and rely on some extra cleanup out of the loop),
it at least handles the folio release correctly.

Meanwhile the refactored code is easier to read, it lacks the call to
release the filemap folio.

[FIX]
Add the missing folio_put() for copy_data_into_buffer().

<content type='text'>
The unlikely() annotation is a static prediction hint that compiler may
use to reorder code out of hot path. We use it elsewhere (namely
tree-checker.c) for error branches that almost never happen, where
EIO is one of them.

<title>btrfs: prepare zlib to support bs &gt; ps cases</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e88cb48e6709d73fe9f82f2b56a43ac9ba2a1fe2</id>
<content type='text'>
This involves converting the following functions to use correct folio
sizes/shifts:

- zlib_compress_folios()
- zlib_decompress_bio()

There is a special handling for s390 hardware acceleration.
With bs &gt; ps cases, we can go with 16K block size on s390 (which uses
fixed 4K page size).
In that case we do not need to do the buffer copy as our folio is large
enough for hardware acceleration.

So factor out the s390 specific and folio size check into a helper,
need_special_buffer().

<title>btrfs: prepare compression folio alloc/free for bs &gt; ps cases</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c2ffb1ec1a7cfc754c1d2fe66d317f0aa4c0f1e6'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c2ffb1ec1a7cfc754c1d2fe66d317f0aa4c0f1e6</id>
<content type='text'>
This includes the following preparation for bs &gt; ps cases:

- Always alloc/free the folio directly if bs &gt; ps
  This adds a new @fs_info parameter for btrfs_alloc_compr_folio(), thus
  affecting all compression algorithms.

  For btrfs_free_compr_folio() it needs no parameter for now, as we can
  use the folio size to skip the caching part.

  For now the change is just to passing a @fs_info into the function,
  all the folio size assumption is still based on page size.

- Properly zero the last folio in compress_file_range()
  Since the compressed folios can be larger than a page, we need to
  properly zero the whole folio.

- Use correct folio size for btrfs_add_compressed_bio_folios()
  Instead of page size, use the correct folio size.

- Use correct folio size/shift for btrfs_compress_filemap_get_folio()
  As we are not only using simple page sized folios anymore.

- Use correct folio size for btrfs_decompress()
  There is an ASSERT() making sure the decompressed range is no larger
  than a page, which will be triggered for bs &gt; ps cases.

- Skip readahead for compressed pages
  Similar to subpage cases.

- Make btrfs_alloc_folio_array() to accept a new @order parameter

- Add a helper to calculate the minimal folio size

All those changes should not affect the existing bs &lt;= ps handling.

<title>btrfs: reduce compression workspace buffer space to block size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74e8f002b772686408d62e420d9f70a4bcb1c2c4</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently the compression workspace buffer size is always based on
PAGE_SIZE, but btrfs has support subpage sized block size for some time.

This means for one-shot compression algorithm like lzo, we're wasting
quite some memory if the block size is smaller than page size, as the
LZO only works on one block (thus one-shot).

On 64K page sized systems with 4K block size, it means we only need at
most 8K buffer space for lzo, but in reality we're allocating 64K
buffer.

So to reduce the memory usage, change all workspace buffer to base its
size based on block size other than page size.
