Pull folio updates from Christian Brauner: "Add a new folio_next_pos() helper function that returns the file position of the first byte after the current folio. This is a common operation in filesystems when needing to know the end of the current folio. The helper is lifted from btrfs which already had its own version, and is now used across multiple filesystems and subsystems: - btrfs - buffer - ext4 - f2fs - gfs2 - iomap - netfs - xfs - mm This fixes a long-standing bug in ocfs2 on 32-bit systems with files larger than 2GiB. Presumably this is not a common configuration, but the fix is backported anyway. The other filesystems did not have bugs, they were just mildly inefficient. This also introduce uoff_t as the unsigned version of loff_t. A recent commit inadvertently changed a comparison from being unsigned (on 64-bit systems) to being signed (which it had always been on 32-bit systems), leading to sporadic fstests failures. Generally file sizes are restricted to being a signed integer, but in places where -1 is passed to indicate "up to the end of the file", it is convenient to have an unsigned type to ensure comparisons are always unsigned regardless of architecture" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.folio' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Add uoff_t mm: Use folio_next_pos() xfs: Use folio_next_pos() netfs: Use folio_next_pos() iomap: Use folio_next_pos() gfs2: Use folio_next_pos() f2fs: Use folio_next_pos() ext4: Use folio_next_pos() buffer: Use folio_next_pos() btrfs: Use folio_next_pos() filemap: Add folio_next_pos()

Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size. The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached relative to the available writeback bandwidth. This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned XFS. - Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore. - Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk Cleanups: - filemap_* writeback interface cleanups. Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but the original btrfs caller should be using better high level interfaces instead. This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level interfaces. With this the writeback_control that is passed to the writeback code is only initialized in three places. - Remove __filemap_fdatawrite, __filemap_fdatawrite_range, and filemap_fdatawrite_wbc - Add filemap_flush_nr helper for btrfs - Push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes in btrfs - Rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range - Stop opencoding filemap_fdatawrite_range in 9p, ocfs2, and mm - Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs. xfs: set s_min_writeback_pages for zoned file systems writeback: allow the file system to override MIN_WRITEBACK_PAGES writeback: cleanup writeback_chunk_size mm: rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite_range mm: remove filemap_fdatawrite_wbc mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite mm,btrfs: add a filemap_flush_nr helper btrfs: push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes btrfs: use the local tmp_inode variable in start_delalloc_inodes ocfs2: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in ocfs2_journal_submit_inode_data_buffers 9p: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in v9fs_mmap_vm_close mm: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in filemap_invalidate_inode writeback: Add logging for slow writeback (exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs) writeback: Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk.

ext4: mark inodes without acls in __ext4_iget()

2025-11-29T03:35:28Z

Mark inodes without acls with cache_no_acl() in __ext4_iget() so that path lookup can run in RCU mode from the start. This is interesting in particular for the case where the file owner does the lookup because in that case end up constantly hitting the slow path otherwise. We drop out from the fast path (because ACL state is unknown) but never end up calling check_acl() to cache ACL state. The problem was originally analyzed by Linus and fix tested by Matheusz, I'm just putting it into mergeable form :).

ext4: add checks for large folio incompatibilities when BS > PS

2025-11-29T03:35:28Z

Supporting a block size greater than the page size (BS > PS) requires support for large folios. However, several features (e.g., encrypt) do not yet support large folios. To prevent conflicts, this patch adds checks at mount time to prohibit these features from being used when BS > PS. Since these features cannot be changed on remount, there is no need to check on remount. This patch adds s_max_folio_order, initialized during mount according to filesystem features and mount options. If s_max_folio_order is 0, large folios are disabled. With this in place, ext4_set_inode_mapping_order() can be simplified by checking s_max_folio_order, avoiding redundant checks.

ext4: support verifying data from large folios with fs-verity

2025-11-29T03:35:28Z

Eric Biggers already added support for verifying data from large folios several years ago in commit 5d0f0e57ed90 ("fsverity: support verifying data from large folios"). With ext4 now supporting large block sizes, the fs-verity tests `kvm-xfstests -c ext4/64k -g verity -x encrypt` pass without issues. Therefore, remove the restriction and allow large folios to be enabled together with fs-verity.

ext4: make data=journal support large block size

2025-11-29T03:35:28Z

Currently, ext4_set_inode_mapping_order() does not set max folio order for files with the data journalling flag. For files that already have large folios enabled, ext4_inode_journal_mode() ignores the data journalling flag once max folio order is set. This is not because data journalling cannot work with large folios, but because credit estimates will go through the roof if there are too many blocks per folio. Since the real constraint is blocks-per-folio, to support data=journal under LBS, we now set max folio order to be equal to min folio order for files with the journalling flag. When LBS is disabled, the max folio order remains unset as before. Therefore, before ext4_change_inode_journal_flag() switches the journalling mode, we call truncate_pagecache() to drop all page cache for that inode, and filemap_write_and_wait() is called unconditionally. After that, once the journalling mode has been switched, we can safely reset the inode mapping order, and the mapping_large_folio_support() check in ext4_inode_journal_mode() can be removed.
