<content type='text'>
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

<title>jbd2: do not fail journal because of frozen_buffer allocation failure</title>

Journal transaction might fail prematurely because the frozen_buffer
is allocated by GFP_NOFS request:
[   72.440013] do_get_write_access: OOM for frozen_buffer
[   72.440014] EXT4-fs: ext4_reserve_inode_write:4729: aborting transaction: Out of memory in __ext4_journal_get_write_access
[   72.440015] EXT4-fs error (device sda1) in ext4_reserve_inode_write:4735: Out of memory
(...snipped....)
[   72.495559] do_get_write_access: OOM for frozen_buffer
[   72.495560] EXT4-fs: ext4_reserve_inode_write:4729: aborting transaction: Out of memory in __ext4_journal_get_write_access
[   72.496839] do_get_write_access: OOM for frozen_buffer
[   72.496841] EXT4-fs: ext4_reserve_inode_write:4729: aborting transaction: Out of memory in __ext4_journal_get_write_access
[   72.505766] Aborting journal on device sda1-8.
[   72.505851] EXT4-fs (sda1): Remounting filesystem read-only

This wasn't a problem until "mm: page_alloc: do not lock up GFP_NOFS
allocations upon OOM" because small GPF_NOFS allocations never failed.
This allocation seems essential for the journal and GFP_NOFS is too
restrictive to the memory allocator so let's use __GFP_NOFAIL here to
emulate the previous behavior.

introduced jbd2_write_access_granted() to improve write|undo_access
speed, but missed to check the status of b_committed_data which caused
a kernel panic on ocfs2.

<title>jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in data=journal mode</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bc23f0c8d7ccd8d924c4e70ce311288cb3e61ea8'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bc23f0c8d7ccd8d924c4e70ce311288cb3e61ea8</id>
<content type='text'>
Ted and Namjae have reported that truncated pages don't get timely
reclaimed after being truncated in data=journal mode. The following test
triggers the issue easily:

for (i = 0; i &lt; 1000; i++) {
	pwrite(fd, buf, 1024*1024, 0);
	fsync(fd);
	fsync(fd);
	ftruncate(fd, 0);
}

The reason is that journal_unmap_buffer() finds that truncated buffers
are not journalled (jh-&gt;b_transaction == NULL), they are part of
checkpoint list of a transaction (jh-&gt;b_cp_transaction != NULL) and have
been already written out (!buffer_dirty(bh)). We clean such buffers but
we leave them in the checkpoint list. Since checkpoint transaction holds
a reference to the journal head, these buffers cannot be released until
the checkpoint transaction is cleaned up. And at that point we don't
call release_buffer_page() anymore so pages detached from mapping are
lingering in the system waiting for reclaim to find them and free them.

Fix the problem by removing buffers from transaction checkpoint lists
when journal_unmap_buffer() finds out they don't have to be there
anymore.

<title>mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=d0164adc89f6bb374d304ffcc375c6d2652fe67d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d0164adc89f6bb374d304ffcc375c6d2652fe67d</id>
<content type='text'>
__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".

Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.

This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.

This patch then converts a number of sites

o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
  pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.

o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
  into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
  are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.

o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
  helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
  checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
  positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
  is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
  flag manipulations.

o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
  and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.

The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.

The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can
ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum
transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum
transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with
the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle().

Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle().

This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction
size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits.
There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in
the journal.

This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the
limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with
1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed
by 2c869b262a10ca99cb866d04087d75311587a30c, but not entirely.

Thanks Jan Kara for helping me getting the correct fix.

<title>jbd2: speedup jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata()</title>

It is often the case that we mark buffer as having dirty metadata when
the buffer is already in that state (frequent for bitmaps, inode table
blocks, superblock). Thus it is unnecessary to contend on grabbing
journal head reference and bh_state lock. Avoid that by checking whether
any modification to the buffer is needed before grabbing any locks or
references.

[ Note: this is a fixed version of commit 2143c1965a761, which was
  reverted in ebeaa8ddb3663b5 due to a false positive triggering of an
  assertion check. -- Ted ]

This reverts commit 2143c1965a761332ae417b22fd477b636e4f54ec.

This commit seems to be the cause of the following jbd2 assertion
failure:

which is not easily reproducible (I've seen it just once, and then Ted
was able to reproduce it once).  Revert it while Ted and Jan try to
figure out what is wrong.
