31b2ebc092 fs/buffer.c: Add generic_buffers_fsync*() implementation
Some of the higher layers like iomap takes inode_lock() when calling
generic_write_sync().
Also writeback already happens from other paths without inode lock,
so it's difficult to say that we really need sync_mapping_buffers() to
take any inode locking here. Having said that, let's add
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() implementation in buffer.c with no
inode_lock/unlock() for now so that filesystems like ext2 and
ext4's nojournal mode can use it.

Ext4 when got converted to iomap for direct-io already copied it's own
variant of __generic_file_fsync() without lock.

This patch adds generic_buffers_fsync()
& generic_buffers_fsync_noflush() implementations for use in filesystems
like ext2 & ext4 respectively.

Later we can review other filesystems as well to see if we can make
generic_buffers_fsync/_noflush() which does not take any inode_lock() as
the default path.

Folio version of create_empty_buffers().  This is required to convert

It removes several calls to compound_head() as it works directly on folio

465e5e6a16 fs/buffer: add folio_set_bh helper
Patch series "convert create_page_buffers to folio_create_buffers".

One of the first kernel panic we hit when we try to increase the block
size > 4k is inside create_page_buffers()[1].  Even though buffer.c
function do not support large folios (folios > PAGE_SIZE) at the moment,
these changes are required when we want to remove that constraint.

The folio version of set_bh_page().  This is required to convert
create_page_buffers() to folio_create_buffers() later in the series.

d685c668b0 buffer: add b_folio as an alias of b_page
Patch series "Start converting buffer_heads to use folios".

I was hoping that filesystems would convert from buffer_heads to iomap,
but that's not happening particularly quickly.  So the buffer_head
infrastructure needs to be converted from being page-based to being
folio-based.


This patch (of 12):

Buffer heads point to the allocation (ie the folio), not the page.  This
is currently the same thing for all filesystems that use buffer heads, so
this is a safe transitional step.

   - fix I_DIRTY_TIME handling so it will be set even if the inode

  Performance:

   - Always enable i_version counter (as btrfs and xfs already do).

     invalidations

   - Wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, to avoid some journal users
     from not getting a journal handle for an unfairly long time

   - In ext4_write_begin() allocate any necessary buffer heads before

   - Don't try to prefetch the block allocation bitmaps for a read-only

  Bug Fixes:

   - Fix a number of fast commit bugs, including resources leaks and out
     of bound references in various error handling paths and/or if the
     fast commit log is corrupted

   - Avoid stopping the online resize early when expanding a file system

   - Fix apparent metadata corruption caused by a race with a metadata

5bdf402a05 fs/buffer: make submit_bh & submit_bh_wbc return type as void
submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc are non-blocking functions which just submit
the bio and return. The caller of submit_bh/submit_bh_wbc needs to wait
on buffer till I/O completion and then check buffer head's b_state field
to know if there was any I/O error.

Hence there is no need for these functions to have any return type.
Even now they always returns 0. Hence drop the return value and make
their return type as void to avoid any confusion.

fdee117ee8 fs/buffer: add some new buffer read helpers
Current ll_rw_block() helper is fragile because it assumes that locked
buffer means it's under IO which is submitted by some other who holds
the lock, it skip buffer if it failed to get the lock, so it's only
safe on the readahead path. Unfortunately, now that most filesystems
still use this helper mistakenly on the sync metadata read path. There
is no guarantee that the one who holds the buffer lock always submit IO
(e.g. buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() after commit 88dbcbb3a4 ("blkdev:
avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), it could lead to false
positive -EIO when submitting reading IO.

This patch add some friendly buffer read helpers to prepare replacing
ll_rw_block() and similar calls. We can only call bh_readahead_[]
helpers for the readahead paths.

214f879690 fs/buffer: remove __breadahead_gfp()
Patch series "fs/buffer: remove ll_rw_block()", v2.

ll_rw_block() will skip locked buffer before submitting IO, it assumes
that locked buffer means it is under IO.  This assumption is not always
true because we cannot guarantee every buffer lock path would submit IO. 
After commit 88dbcbb3a4 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev
pages"), buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() becomes one exceptional case, and
there may be others.  So ll_rw_block() is not safe on the sync read path,
we could get false positive EIO return value when filesystem reading
metadata.  It seems that it could be only used on the readahead path.

Unfortunately, many filesystem misuse the ll_rw_block() on the sync read
path.  This patch set just remove ll_rw_block() and add new friendly
helpers, which could prevent false positive EIO on the read metadata path.
Thanks for the suggestion from Jan, the original discussion is at [1].

 patch 1: remove unused helpers in fs/buffer.c
 patch 2: add new bh_read_[*] helpers
 patch 3-11: remove all ll_rw_block() calls in filesystems

2f79cdfe58 fs: only do a memory barrier for the first set_buffer_uptodate()
Commit d4252071b9 ("add barriers to buffer_uptodate and
set_buffer_uptodate") added proper memory barriers to the buffer head
BH_Uptodate bit, so that anybody who tests a buffer for being up-to-date
will be guaranteed to actually see initialized state.

However, that commit didn't _just_ add the memory barrier, it also ended
up dropping the "was it already set" logic that the BUFFER_FNS() macro
had.

That's conceptually the right thing for a generic "this is a memory
barrier" operation, but in the case of the buffer contents, we really
only care about the memory barrier for the _first_ time we set the bit,
in that the only memory ordering protection we need is to avoid anybody
seeing uninitialized memory contents.

Any other access ordering wouldn't be about the BH_Uptodate bit anyway,
and would require some other proper lock (typically BH_Lock or the folio
lock).  A reader that races with somebody invalidating the buffer head
isn't an issue wrt the memory ordering, it's a serialization issue.

Now, you'd think that the buffer head operations don't matter in this
day and age (and I certainly thought so), but apparently some loads
still end up being heavy users of buffer heads.  In particular, the
kernel test robot reported that not having this bit access optimization
in place caused a noticeable direct IO performance regression on ext4:

  fxmark.ssd_ext4_no_jnl_DWTL_54_directio.works/sec -26.5% regression

although you presumably need a fast disk and a lot of cores to actually
notice.

8238b45798 wait_on_bit: add an acquire memory barrier
There are several places in the kernel where wait_on_bit is not followed
by a memory barrier (for example, in drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:new_read).

On architectures with weak memory ordering, it may happen that memory
accesses that follow wait_on_bit are reordered before wait_on_bit and
they may return invalid data.

Fix this class of bugs by introducing a new function "test_bit_acquire"
that works like test_bit, but has acquire memory ordering semantics.

d4252071b9 add barriers to buffer_uptodate and set_buffer_uptodate
Let's have a look at this piece of code in __bread_slow:

	get_bh(bh);
	bh->b_end_io = end_buffer_read_sync;
	submit_bh(REQ_OP_READ, 0, bh);
	wait_on_buffer(bh);
	if (buffer_uptodate(bh))
		return bh;

Neither wait_on_buffer nor buffer_uptodate contain any memory barrier.
Consequently, if someone calls sb_bread and then reads the buffer data,
the read of buffer data may be executed before wait_on_buffer(bh) on
architectures with weak memory ordering and it may return invalid data.

Fix this bug by adding a memory barrier to set_buffer_uptodate and an
acquire barrier to buffer_uptodate (in a similar way as
folio_test_uptodate and folio_mark_uptodate).

1420c4a549 fs/buffer: Combine two submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() arguments
Both submit_bh() and ll_rw_block() accept a request operation type and
request flags as their first two arguments. Micro-optimize these two
functions by combining these first two arguments into a single argument.
This patch does not change the behavior of any of the modified code.
