Pull iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Add the vfs infrastructure required to implement fs-verity support
for XFS with a post-EOF merkle tree: fsverity generates and stores a
zero-block hash, and iomap learns to verify data on buffered reads,
to handle fsverity during writeback via the new IOMAP_F_FSVERITY
flag, and to write fsverity metadata through iomap_fsverity_write().
- Skip the memset of the iomap in iomap_iter() once the iteration is
done. In high-IOPS scenarios (4k randread NVMe polling via io_uring)
the pointless memset wasted memory write bandwidth; this improves
IOPS by about 5% on ext4 and xfs.
- Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() to iomap_zero_iter(), aligning
it with iomap_write_iter(). This prepares for the exFAT iomap
conversion where zeroing beyond valid_size can trigger large-scale
zeroing operations that caused memory pressure without throttling.
- Remove the over-strict inline data boundary check. If a filesystem
provides a valid inline_data pointer and length there is no reason to
require that inline data must not cross a page boundary.
- Don't make REQ_POLLED imply REQ_NOWAIT, matching the earlier
equivalent block layer fix: there are valid cases to poll for I/O
completion without REQ_NOWAIT, and REQ_NOWAIT for file system writes
is currently not supported as writes aren't idempotent.
- Introduce IOMAP_F_ZERO_TAIL for filesystems that maintain a separate
valid data length (exFAT, NTFS). For a write starting at or beyond
valid_size, __iomap_write_begin() now zeroes only the tail portion of
the block while preserving valid data before it, instead of leaving
stale data in the page cache. The flag is also added to the iomap
trace event strings.

Commit abb30460bd ("block: mark bio_wouldblock_error() bio with
BIO_QUIET") added this to suppress buffer_head warnings, but neither
when this commit was added nor now any buffer_head using code actually
ever sets REQ_NOWAIT which can lead to BLK_STS_AGAIN.
Remove the special handling for now. If we ever plan to use REQ_NOWAIT
for buffer_head based I/O we're better off handling BLK_STS_AGAIN in
the completion handler as it actually needs to retry the I/O as well.

As described in commit 2bc0576925 ("block: don't make REQ_POLLED imply
REQ_NOWAIT"), which fixed the same issue for the block device node, there
are valid cases to poll for I/O completion without REQ_NOWAIT.
Additionally, sing REQ_NOWAIT for file system writes is currently not

Add a new helper to wait for a bio and anything chained off it to
complete synchronously after submitting it. This factors common code out
of submit_bio_wait and bio_await_chain and will also be useful for
file system code and thus is exported.
Note that this will now set REQ_SYNC also for the bio_await case for
consistency. Nothing should look at the flag in the end_io handler,
but if something does having the flag set makes more sense.

Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This
was all done by Christoph. In his words:
This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be
modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system
require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data
operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer
an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately
XFS.
The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is
because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the
infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS.
I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for
other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own
infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer,
so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact
the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs.
This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable
devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and
splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs
running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a
device using PI.
Performance numbers on my (not exactly state of the art) NVMe PI test
setup:
Sequential reads using io_uring, QD=16.
Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):
| size | zero copy | bounce |
+------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
| 4k | 1316MiB/s (12.65/55.40%) | 1081MiB/s (11.76/49.78%) |
| 64K | 3370MiB/s ( 5.46/18.20%) | 3365MiB/s ( 4.47/15.68%) |
| 1M | 3401MiB/s ( 0.76/23.05%) | 3400MiB/s ( 0.80/09.06%) |
+------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
Sequential writes using io_uring, QD=16.
Bandwidth and CPU usage (usr/sys):
| size | zero copy | bounce |
+------+--------------------------+--------------------------+

+------+--------------------------+--------------------------+
Note that the 64k read numbers look really odd to me for the baseline
zero copy case, but are reproducible over many repeated runs.
The bounce read numbers should further improve when moving the PI
validation to the file system and removing the double context switch,
which I have patches for that will sent out soon"

Add helpers to implement bounce buffering of data into a bio to implement
direct I/O for cases where direct user access is not possible because
stable in-flight data is required. These are intended to be used as
easily as bio_iov_iter_get_pages for the zero-copy path.
The write side is trivial and just copies data into the bounce buffer.
The read side is a lot more complex because it needs to perform the copy
from the completion context, and without preserving the iov_iter through
the call chain. It steals a trick from the integrity data user interface
and uses the first vector in the bio for the bounce buffer data that is
fed to the block I/O stack, and uses the others to record the user
buffer fragments.

The blk-mq dma iterator has an optimization for requests that align to
the device's iommu merge boundary. This boundary may be larger than the
device's virtual boundary, but the code had been depending on that queue
limit to know ahead of time if the request is guaranteed to align to
that optimization.
Rather than rely on that queue limit, which many devices may not report,
save the lowest set bit of any boundary gap between each segment in the
bio while checking the segments. The request stores the value for
merging and quickly checking per io if the request can use iova
optimizations.
