<title>ext4: remove unnecessary parameter "needed" in ext4_discard_preallocations</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2ffd2a6ad1d3a8213bb5805f45f49098fe615db1</id>
<content type='text'>
The "needed" controls the number of ext4_prealloc_space to discard in
ext4_discard_preallocations. Function ext4_discard_preallocations is
supposed to discard all non-used preallocated blocks when "needed"
is 0 and now ext4_discard_preallocations is always called with "needed"
= 0. Remove unnecessary parameter "needed" and remove all non-used
preallocated spaces in ext4_discard_preallocations to simplify the
code.

Note: If count of non-used preallocated spaces could be more than
UINT_MAX, there was a memory leak as some non-used preallocated
spaces are left ununsed and this commit will fix it. Otherwise,
there is no behavior change.

<title>ext4: fix double-free of blocks due to wrong extents moved_len</title>

<id>urn:sha1:55583e899a5357308274601364741a83e78d6ac4</id>
<content type='text'>
In ext4_move_extents(), moved_len is only updated when all moves are
successfully executed, and only discards orig_inode and donor_inode
preallocations when moved_len is not zero. When the loop fails to exit
after successfully moving some extents, moved_len is not updated and
remains at 0, so it does not discard the preallocations.

If the moved extents overlap with the preallocated extents, the
overlapped extents are freed twice in ext4_mb_release_inode_pa() and
ext4_process_freed_data() (as described in commit 94d7c16cbbbd ("ext4:
Fix double-free of blocks with EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT")), and bb_free is
incremented twice. Hence when trim is executed, a zero-division bug is
triggered in mb_update_avg_fragment_size() because bb_free is not zero
and bb_fragments is zero.

Therefore, update move_len after each extent move to avoid the issue.

<title>mm: merge folio_has_private()/filemap_release_folio() call pairs</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=0201ebf274a306a6ebb95e5dc2d6a0a27c737cac'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0201ebf274a306a6ebb95e5dc2d6a0a27c737cac</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm, netfs, fscache: Stop read optimisation when folio
removed from pagecache", v7.

This fixes an optimisation in fscache whereby we don't read from the cache
for a particular file until we know that there's data there that we don't
have in the pagecache.  The problem is that I'm no longer using PG_fscache
(aka PG_private_2) to indicate that the page is cached and so I don't get
a notification when a cached page is dropped from the pagecache.

The first patch merges some folio_has_private() and
filemap_release_folio() pairs and introduces a helper,
folio_needs_release(), to indicate if a release is required.

The second patch is the actual fix.  Following Willy's suggestions[1], it
adds an AS_RELEASE_ALWAYS flag to an address_space that will make
filemap_release_folio() always call -&gt;release_folio(), even if
PG_private/PG_private_2 aren't set.  folio_needs_release() is altered to
add a check for this.


This patch (of 2):

Make filemap_release_folio() check folio_has_private().  Then, in most
cases, where a call to folio_has_private() is immediately followed by a
call to filemap_release_folio(), we can get rid of the test in the pair.

There are a couple of sites in mm/vscan.c that this can't so easily be
done.  In shrink_folio_list(), there are actually three cases (something
different is done for incompletely invalidated buffers), but
filemap_release_folio() elides two of them.

In shrink_active_list(), we don't have have the folio lock yet, so the
check allows us to avoid locking the page unnecessarily.

A wrapper function to check if a folio needs release is provided for those
places that still need to do it in the mm/ directory.  This will acquire
additional parts to the condition in a future patch.

After this, the only remaining caller of folio_has_private() outside of
mm/ is a check in fuse.

   Raghav.

 - zsmalloc performance improvements from Sergey Senozhatsky.

 - Yue Zhao has found and fixed some data race issues around the
   alteration of memcg userspace tunables.

 - VFS rationalizations from Christoph Hellwig:
     - removal of most of the callers of write_one_page()
     - make __filemap_get_folio()'s return value more useful

 - Luis Chamberlain has changed tmpfs so it no longer requires swap
   backing. Use `mount -o noswap'.

 - Qi Zheng has made the slab shrinkers operate locklessly, providing
   some scalability benefits.

 - Keith Busch has improved dmapool's performance, making part of its
   operations O(1) rather than O(n).

 - Peter Xu adds the UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED feature to userfaultd,
   permitting userspace to wr-protect anon memory unpopulated ptes.

 - Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive
   rather than exclusive, and has fixed a bunch of errors which were
   caused by its unintuitive meaning.

 - Axel Rasmussen give userfaultfd the UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP feature,
   which causes minor faults to install a write-protected pte.

 - Vlastimil Babka has done some maintenance work on vma_merge():
   cleanups to the kernel code and improvements to our userspace test
   harness.

 - Cleanups to do_fault_around() by Lorenzo Stoakes.

 - Mike Rapoport has moved a lot of initialization code out of various
   mm/ files and into mm/mm_init.c.

 - Lorenzo Stoakes removd vmf_insert_mixed_prot(), which was added for
   DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

 - Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
   and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

 - Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

 - Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

 - Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
   locks in -&gt;map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

 - Suren Baghdasaryan has improved mmap_lock scalability by switching to
   per-VMA locking.

 - Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
   no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

Use a folio throughout.  Does not support large folios due to
an array sized for MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE, but it does remove a few
calls to compound_head().

This particular combination of flags is used by most filesystems
in their -&gt;write_begin method, although it does find use in a
few other places.  Before folios, it warranted its own function
(grab_cache_page_write_begin()), but I think that just having specialised
flags is enough.  It certainly helps the few places that have been
converted from grab_cache_page_write_begin() to __filemap_get_folio().

Instead of returning NULL for all errors, distinguish between:

 - no entry found and not asked to allocated (-ENOENT)
 - failed to allocate memory (-ENOMEM)
 - would block (-EAGAIN)

so that callers don't have to guess the error based on the passed in
flags.

Also pass through the error through the direct callers: filemap_get_folio,
filemap_lock_folio filemap_grab_folio and filemap_get_incore_folio.
