ext4: move verity info pointer to fs-specific part of inode

2025-08-21T11:58:08Z

Move the fsverity_info pointer into the filesystem-specific part of the inode by adding the field ext4_inode_info::i_verity_info and configuring fsverity_operations::inode_info_offs accordingly. This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on filesystems that don't support fsverity.

fs: Convert aops->write_begin to take a folio

2024-08-07T09:33:21Z

Convert all callers from working on a page to working on one page of a folio (support for working on an entire folio can come later). Removes a lot of folio->page->folio conversions. Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

fs: Convert aops->write_end to take a folio

2024-08-07T09:32:02Z

Most callers have a folio, and most implementations operate on a folio, so remove the conversion from folio->page->folio to fit through this interface. Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Nick Piggin's "shoot lazy tlbs" series, to improve the peformance of switching from a user process to a kernel thread. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang, Zhang Peng and Pankaj 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 ->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. - Mike Rapoport cleans up and corrects the ARCH_FORCE_MAX_ORDER Kconfig logic. - Liu Shixin has changed zswap's initialization so we no longer waste a chunk of memory if zswap is not being used. - Yosry Ahmed has improved the performance of memcg statistics flushing. - David Stevens has fixed several issues involving khugepaged, userfaultfd and shmem. - Christoph Hellwig has provided some cleanup work to zram's IO-related code paths. - David Hildenbrand has fixed up some issues in the selftest code's testing of our pte state changing. - Pankaj Raghav has made page_endio() unneeded and has removed it. - Peter Xu contributed some rationalizations of the userfaultfd selftests. - Yosry Ahmed has fixed an issue around memcg's page recalim accounting. - Chaitanya Prakash has fixed some arm-related issues in the selftests/mm code. - Longlong Xia has improved the way in which KSM handles hwpoisoned pages. - Peter Xu fixes a few issues with uffd-wp at fork() time. - Stefan Roesch has changed KSM so that it may now be used on a per-process and per-cgroup basis. * tag 'mm-stable-2023-04-27-15-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (369 commits) mm,unmap: avoid flushing TLB in batch if PTE is inaccessible shmem: restrict noswap option to initial user namespace mm/khugepaged: fix conflicting mods to collapse_file() sparse: remove unnecessary 0 values from rc mm: move 'mmap_min_addr' logic from callers into vm_unmapped_area() hugetlb: pte_alloc_huge() to replace huge pte_alloc_map() maple_tree: fix allocation in mas_sparse_area() mm: do not increment pgfault stats when page fault handler retries zsmalloc: allow only one active pool compaction context selftests/mm: add new selftests for KSM mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs mm: add new api to enable ksm per process mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions mm: don't check VMA write permissions if the PTE/PMD indicates write permissions migrate_pages_batch: fix statistics for longterm pin retry userfaultfd: use helper function range_in_vma() lib/show_mem.c: use for_each_populated_zone() simplify code mm: correct arg in reclaim_pages()/reclaim_clean_pages_from_list() fs/buffer: convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper ...

ext4: Use a folio in ext4_read_merkle_tree_page

2023-04-06T17:39:52Z

This is an implementation of fsverity_operations read_merkle_tree_page, so it must still return the precise page asked for, but we can use the folio API to reduce the number of conversions between folios & pages.

fsverity: pass pos and size to ->write_merkle_tree_block

2023-01-01T23:46:48Z

fsverity_operations::write_merkle_tree_block is passed the index of the block to write and the log base 2 of the block size. However, all implementations of it use these parameters only to calculate the position and the size of the block, in bytes. Therefore, make ->write_merkle_tree_block take 'pos' and 'size' parameters instead of 'index' and 'log_blocksize'.
