8a78cb1f1b fs: move page_cache_seek_hole_data to iomap.c
This function is only used by the iomap code, depends on being called
from it, and will soon stop poking into buffer head internals.

3172485f4f block_invalidatepage(): only release page if the full page was invalidated
Prior to commit d47992f86b ("mm: change invalidatepage prototype to
accept length"), an offset of 0 meant that the full page was being
invalidated.  After that commit, we need to instead check the length.

Jan said:
:
: The only possible issue is that try_to_release_page() was called more
: often than necessary.  Otherwise the issue is harmless but still it's good
: to have this fixed.

08fdc8a013 buffer.c: call thaw_super during emergency thaw
There are 2 distinct freezing mechanisms - one operates on block
devices and another one directly on super blocks. Both end up with the
same result, but thaw of only one of these does not thaw the other.

In particular fsfreeze --freeze uses the ioctl variant going to the
super block. Since prior to this patch emergency thaw was not doing
a relevant thaw, filesystems frozen with this method remained
unaffected.

The patch is a hack which adds blind unfreezing.

In order to keep the super block write-locked the whole time the code
is shuffled around and the newly introduced __iterate_supers is
employed.

8667982014 mm, pagevec: remove cold parameter for pagevecs
Every pagevec_init user claims the pages being released are hot even in
cases where it is unlikely the pages are hot.  As no one cares about the
hotness of pages being released to the allocator, just ditch the
parameter.

No performance impact is expected as the overhead is marginal.  The
parameter is removed simply because it is a bit stupid to have a useless
parameter copied everywhere.

 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything

        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"

6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

bc48f001de buffer: eliminate the need to call free_more_memory() in __getblk_slow()
Since the previous commit removed any case where grow_buffers()
would return failure due to memory allocations, we can safely
remove the case where we have to call free_more_memory() in
this function.

Since this is also the last user of free_more_memory(), kill
it off completely.

c10f778ddf fs: fix performance regression in clean_bdev_aliases()
Commit e64855c6cf ("fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh
and use it") added a wrapper for clean_bdev_aliases() that invalidates
bdev aliases underlying a single buffer head.

However this has caused a performance regression for bonnie++ benchmark
on ext4 filesystem when delayed allocation is turned off (ext3 mode) -
average of 3 runs:

  Hmean SeqOut Char  164787.55 (  0.00%) 107189.06 (-34.95%)
  Hmean SeqOut Block 219883.89 (  0.00%) 168870.32 (-23.20%)

The reason for this regression is that clean_bdev_aliases() is slower
when called for a single block because pagevec_lookup() it uses will end
up iterating through the radix tree until it finds a page (which may
take a while) but we are only interested whether there's a page at a
particular index.

Fix the problem by using pagevec_lookup_range() instead which avoids the
needless iteration.

the next page where iteration should continue.  Most callers want this
and also pagevec_lookup_tag() already does this.

74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

241f01fbed fs/buffer.c: make bh_lru_install() more efficient
To install a buffer_head into the cpu's LRU queue, bh_lru_install()
would construct a new copy of the queue and then memcpy it over the real
queue.  But it's easily possible to do the update in-place, which is
faster and simpler.  Some work can also be skipped if the buffer_head
was already in the queue.

As a microbenchmark I timed how long it takes to run sb_getblk()
10,000,000 times alternating between BH_LRU_SIZE + 1 blocks.
Effectively, this benchmarks looking up buffer_heads that are in the
page cache but not in the LRU:

	Before this patch: 1.758s
	After this patch: 1.653s

This patch also removes about 350 bytes of compiled code (on x86_64),
partly due to removal of the memcpy() which was being inlined+unrolled.
