netfs: Fix i_size updating

2025-07-10T14:08:43Z

[ Upstream commit 2e0658940d90a3dc130bb3b7f75bae9f4100e01f ] Fix the updating of i_size, particularly in regard to the completion of DIO writes and especially async DIO writes by using a lock. The bug is triggered occasionally by the generic/207 xfstest as it chucks a bunch of AIO DIO writes at the filesystem and then checks that fstat() returns a reasonable st_size as each completes. The problem is that netfs is trying to do "if new_size > inode->i_size, update inode->i_size" sort of thing but without a lock around it. This can be seen with cifs, but shouldn't be seen with kafs because kafs serialises modification ops on the client whereas cifs sends the requests to the server as they're generated and lets the server order them.

netfs: Fix wait/wake to be consistent about the waitqueue used

2025-06-19T13:40:21Z

[ Upstream commit 2b1424cd131cfaba4cf7040473133d26cddac088 ] Fix further inconsistencies in the use of waitqueues (clear_and_wake_up_bit() vs private waitqueue). Move some of this stuff from the read and write sides into common code so that it can be done in fewer places. To make this work, async I/O needs to set NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION to indicate that a workqueue will do the collecting and places that call the wait function need to deal with it returning the amount transferred.

netfs: Fix a few minor bugs in netfs_page_mkwrite()

2024-10-07T11:45:15Z

We can't return with VM_FAULT_SIGBUS | VM_FAULT_LOCKED; the core code will not unlock the folio in this instance. Introduce a new "unlock" error exit to handle this case. Use it to handle the "folio is truncated" check, and change the "writeback interrupted by a fatal signal" to do a NOPAGE exit instead of letting the core code install the folio currently under writeback before killing the process.

netfs, cifs: Fix mtime/ctime update for mmapped writes

2024-09-25T02:57:00Z

The cifs flag CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR, which indicates that the mtime and ctime need to be written back on close, got taken over by netfs as NETFS_ICTX_MODIFIED_ATTR to avoid the need to call a function pointer to set it. The flag gets set correctly on buffered writes, but doesn't get set by netfs_page_mkwrite(), leading to occasional failures in generic/080 and generic/215. Fix this by setting the flag in netfs_page_mkwrite().

netfs: Reduce number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write()

2024-09-05T09:00:41Z

Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write() by merging in netfs_how_to_modify() and then creating a separate if-statement for each way we might modify a folio.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block. - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series is "query VMAs from /proc//maps". - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information related to multisize THP splitting. - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits userspace to use all available huge page sizes. - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and not very useful feature from slab fault injection. * tag 'mm-stable-2024-07-21-14-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (411 commits) mm/mglru: fix ineffective protection calculation mm/zswap: fix a white space issue mm/hugetlb: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when migrating hugetlb folio mm/hugetlb: fix possible recursive locking detected warning mm/gup: clear the LRU flag of a page before adding to LRU batch mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode mm: memcg1: convert charge move flags to unsigned long long alloc_tag: fix page_ext_get/page_ext_put sequence during page splitting lib: reuse page_ext_data() to obtain codetag_ref lib: add missing newline character in the warning message mm/mglru: fix overshooting shrinker memory mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level() mm/kmemleak: replace strncpy() with strscpy() mm, page_alloc: put should_fail_alloc_page() back behing CONFIG_FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC mm, slab: put should_failslab() back behind CONFIG_SHOULD_FAILSLAB mm: ignore data-race in __swap_writepage hugetlbfs: ensure generic_hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr mm: shmem: rename mTHP shmem counters mm: swap_state: use folio_alloc_mpol() in __read_swap_cache_async() mm/migrate: putback split folios when numa hint migration fails ...
