Patch series "Improve IOCB_NOWAIT O_DIRECT reads", v3.
An internal workload complained because it was using too much CPU, and
when I took a look, we had a lot of io_uring workers going to town.
For an async buffered read like workload, I am normally expecting _zero_
offloads to a worker thread, but this one had tons of them. I'd drop
caches and things would look good again, but then a minute later we'd
regress back to using workers. Turns out that every minute something
was reading parts of the device, which would add page cache for that
inode. I put patches like these in for our kernel, and the problem was
solved.
Don't -EAGAIN IOCB_NOWAIT dio reads just because we have page cache
entries for the given range. This causes unnecessary work from the
callers side, when the IO could have been issued totally fine without
blocking on writeback when there is none.
This patch (of 3):
For O_DIRECT reads/writes, we check if we need to issue a call to
filemap_write_and_wait_range() to issue and/or wait for writeback for any
page in the given range. The existing mechanism just checks for a page in
the range, which is suboptimal for IOCB_NOWAIT as we'll fallback to the
slow path (and needing retry) if there's just a clean page cache page in
the range.
Provide filemap_range_needs_writeback() which tries a little harder to
check if we actually need to issue and/or wait for writeback in the range.

Pull network filesystem helper library updates from David Howells:
"Here's a set of patches for 5.13 to begin the process of overhauling
the local caching API for network filesystems. This set consists of
two parts:
(1) Add a helper library to handle the new VM readahead interface.
This is intended to be used unconditionally by the filesystem
(whether or not caching is enabled) and provides a common
framework for doing caching, transparent huge pages and, in the
future, possibly fscrypt and read bandwidth maximisation. It also
allows the netfs and the cache to align, expand and slice up a
read request from the VM in various ways; the netfs need only
provide a function to read a stretch of data to the pagecache and
the helper takes care of the rest.
(2) Add an alternative fscache/cachfiles I/O API that uses the kiocb
facility to do async DIO to transfer data to/from the netfs's
pages, rather than using readpage with wait queue snooping on one
side and vfs_write() on the other. It also uses less memory, since
it doesn't do buffered I/O on the backing file.
Note that this uses SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA to locate the data
available to be read from the cache. Whilst this is an improvement
from the bmap interface, it still has a problem with regard to a
modern extent-based filesystem inserting or removing bridging
blocks of zeros. Fixing that requires a much greater overhaul.
This is a step towards overhauling the fscache API. The change is
opt-in on the part of the network filesystem. A netfs should not try
to mix the old and the new API because of conflicting ways of handling
pages and the PG_fscache page flag and because it would be mixing DIO
with buffered I/O. Further, the helper library can't be used with the
old API.
This does not change any of the fscache cookie handling APIs or the
way invalidation is done at this time.
In the near term, I intend to deprecate and remove the old I/O API
(fscache_allocate_page{,s}(), fscache_read_or_alloc_page{,s}(),
fscache_write_page() and fscache_uncache_page()) and eventually
replace most of fscache/cachefiles with something simpler and easier
to follow.
This patchset contains the following parts:
- Some helper patches, including provision of an ITER_XARRAY iov
iterator and a function to do readahead expansion.
- Patches to add the netfs helper library.
- A patch to add the fscache/cachefiles kiocb API.
- A pair of patches to fix some review issues in the ITER_XARRAY and
read helpers as spotted by Al and Willy.
Jeff Layton has patches to add support in Ceph for this that he
intends for this merge window. I have a set of patches to support AFS
that I will post a separate pull request for.
With this, AFS without a cache passes all expected xfstests; with a
cache, there's an extra failure, but that's also there before these
patches. Fixing that probably requires a greater overhaul. Ceph also
passes the expected tests.
I also have patches in a separate branch to tidy up the handling of
PG_fscache/PG_private_2 and their contribution to page refcounting in
the core kernel here, but I haven't included them in this set and will
route them separately"

There's a substantial amount of boilerplate in filesystems handling
FS_IOC_[GS]ETFLAGS/ FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctls.
Also due to userspace buffers being involved in the ioctl API this is
difficult to stack, as shown by overlayfs issues related to these ioctls.
Introduce a new internal API named "fileattr" (fsxattr can be confused with
xattr, xflags is inappropriate, since this is more than just flags).
There's significant overlap between flags and xflags and this API handles
the conversions automatically, so filesystems may choose which one to use.
In ->fileattr_get() a hint is provided to the filesystem whether flags or
xattr are being requested by userspace, but in this series this hint is
ignored by all filesystems, since generating all the attributes is cheap.
If a filesystem doesn't implemement the fileattr API, just fall back to
f_op->ioctl(). When all filesystems are converted, the fallback can be
removed.
32bit compat ioctls are now handled by the generic code as well.

While reviewing ./include/linux/fs.h, I noticed that three comments can
actually be turned into kernel-doc comments. This allows to check the
consistency between the descriptions and the functions' signatures in
case they may change in the future.
A quick validation with the consistency check:
./scripts/kernel-doc -none include/linux/fs.h
currently reports no issues in this file.

Vivek pointed out that the fs{g,u}id_into_mnt() naming scheme can be
misleading as it could be understood as implying they do the exact same
thing as i_{g,u}id_into_mnt(). The original motivation for this naming
scheme was to signal to callers that the helpers will always take care
to map the k{g,u}id such that the ownership is expressed in terms of the
mnt_users.
Get rid of the confusion by renaming those helpers to something more
sensible. Al suggested mapped_fs{g,u}id() which seems a really good fit.
Usually filesystems don't need to bother with these helpers directly
only in some cases where they allocate objects that carry {g,u}ids which
are either filesystem specific (e.g. xfs quota objects) or don't have a
clean set of helpers as inodes have.
