This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Since after commit 12e4e8c7ab ("io_uring/rw: enable bio caches for
IRQ rw"), bio_put is safe for task and irq context, bio_alloc_bioset is
safe for task context and no one calls in irq context, so we can enable
per cpu bio cache by default.
Benchmarked with t/io_uring and ext4+nvme:
taskset -c 6 /root/fio/t/io_uring -p0 -d128 -b4096 -s1 -c1 -F1 -B1 -R1
-X1 -n1 -P1 /mnt/testfile
base IOPS is 562K, patch IOPS is 574K. The CPU usage of bio_alloc_bioset
decrease from 1.42% to 1.22%.
The worst case is allocate bio in CPU A but free in CPU B, still use
t/io_uring and ext4+nvme:
base IOPS is 648K, patch IOPS is 647K.
Also use fio test ext4/xfs with libaio/sync/io_uring on null_blk and
nvme, no obvious performance regression.

Add caller-provided callbacks for read and readahead so that it can be
used generically, especially by filesystems that are not block-based.
In particular, this:
* Modifies the read and readahead interface to take in a
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx that is publicly defined as:
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx {
const struct iomap_read_ops *ops;
struct folio *cur_folio;
struct readahead_control *rac;
void *read_ctx;
};
where struct iomap_read_ops is defined as:
struct iomap_read_ops {
int (*read_folio_range)(const struct iomap_iter *iter,
struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx,
size_t len);
void (*read_submit)(struct iomap_read_folio_ctx *ctx);
};
read_folio_range() reads in the folio range and is required by the
caller to provide. read_submit() is optional and is used for
submitting any pending read requests.
* Modifies existing filesystems that use iomap for read and readahead to
use the new API, through the new statically inlined helpers
iomap_bio_read_folio() and iomap_bio_readahead(). There is no change
in functionality for those filesystems.

- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

block size. Some cases don't have a block device, or we may need to
align to something larger, which we can't derive it from the queue

The block fops don't try to handle metadata for synchronous requests,
probably because the completion handler looks at dio->iocb which is not
valid for synchronous requests.
But silently ignoring metadata (or warning in case of
__blkdev_direct_IO_simple) is a really bad idea as that can cause
silent data corruption if a user ever shows up.
Instead simply handle metadata for synchronous requests as the completion
handler can simply check for bio_integrity() as the block layer default
integrity will already be freed at this point, and thus bio_integrity()
will only return true for user mapped integrity.

Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio
based writeback code.
There are two methods that define the split between the generic
writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
ioends and bios now sits below that layer.
- Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.
This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
the entire folio.

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

Replace ->map_blocks with a new ->writeback_range, which differs in the
following ways:
- it must also queue up the I/O for writeback, that is called into the
slightly refactored and extended in scope iomap_add_to_ioend for
each region
- can handle only a part of the requested region, that is the retry
loop for partial mappings moves to the caller
- handles cleanup on failures as well, and thus also replaces the
discard_folio method only implemented by XFS.
This will allow to use the iomap writeback code also for file systems
that are not block based like fuse.
