writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

#include <linux/writeback.h>
writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt. However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a bdi with the same name is still live. Arrange for the bdi to hold a reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.

writeback: move backing_dev_info->wb_lock and ->worklist into bdi_writeback Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback IOs for a cgroup independently. This patch moves bdi->wb_lock and ->worklist into wb. * The lock protects bdi->worklist and bdi->wb.dwork scheduling. While moving, rename it to wb->work_lock as wb->wb_lock is confusing. Also, move wb->dwork downwards so that it's colocated with the new ->work_lock and ->work_list fields. * bdi_writeback_workfn() -> wb_workfn() bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed(bdi) -> wb_wakeup_delayed(wb) bdi_wakeup_thread(bdi) -> wb_wakeup(wb) bdi_queue_work(bdi, ...) -> wb_queue_work(wb, ...) __bdi_start_writeback(bdi, ...) -> __wb_start_writeback(wb, ...) get_next_work_item(bdi) -> get_next_work_item(wb) * bdi_wb_shutdown() is renamed to wb_shutdown() and now takes @wb. The function contained parts which belong to the containing bdi rather than the wb itself - testing cap_writeback_dirty and bdi_remove_from_list() invocation. Those are moved to bdi_unregister(). * bdi_wb_{init|exit}() are renamed to wb_{init|exit}(). Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are relocated from bdi_init() to wb_init(). * As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state introducing no behavior changes.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue. This also introduces lumpy behaviour and potential request starvation, since pdflush can be starved for queue access if others are accessing it. A sample ffsb workload that does random writes to files is about 8% faster here on a simple SATA drive during the benchmark phase.

writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue Writeback implements its own worker pool - each bdi can be associated with a worker thread which is created and destroyed dynamically. The worker thread for the default bdi is always present and serves as the "forker" thread which forks off worker threads for other bdis. there's no reason for writeback to implement its own worker pool when using unbound workqueue instead is much simpler and more efficient. This patch replaces custom worker pool implementation in writeback with an unbound workqueue. The conversion isn't too complicated but the followings are worth mentioning. * bdi_writeback->last_active, task and wakeup_timer are removed. delayed_work ->dwork is added instead. Explicit timer handling is no longer necessary. Everything works by either queueing / modding / flushing / canceling the delayed_work item. * bdi_writeback_thread() becomes bdi_writeback_workfn() which runs off bdi_writeback->dwork. On each execution, it processes bdi->work_list and reschedules itself if there are more things to do. The function also handles low-mem condition, which used to be handled by the forker thread. If the function is running off a rescuer thread, it only writes out limited number of pages so that the rescuer can serve other bdis too. This preserves the flusher creation failure behavior of the forker thread. * INIT_LIST_HEAD(&bdi->bdi_list) is used to tell bdi_writeback_workfn() about on-going bdi unregistration so that it always drains work_list even if it's running off the rescuer. Note that the original code was broken in this regard. Under memory pressure, a bdi could finish unregistration with non-empty work_list. * The default bdi is no longer special. It now is treated the same as any other bdi and bdi_cap_flush_forker() is removed. * BDI_pending is no longer used. Removed. * Some tracepoints become non-applicable. The following TPs are removed - writeback_nothread, writeback_wake_thread, writeback_wake_forker_thread, writeback_thread_start, writeback_thread_stop. Everything, including devices coming and going away and rescuer operation under simulated memory pressure, seems to work fine in my test setup.

writeback: implement WB_has_dirty_io wb_state flag Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback) has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state on each wb. This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before. mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake up the wb. While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool. These functions were returning 0 and 1 before. Also, add a comment explaining the synchronization of wb_state flags. v2: Updated to accommodate b_dirty_time.

A SSD based writeback test on XFS performs over 20% better as well, with the throughput being very stable around 1GB/sec, where pdflush only manages 750MB/sec and fluctuates wildly while doing so. Random buffered writes to many files behave a lot better as well, as does random mmap'ed writes. A separate thread is added to sync the super blocks. In the long term, adding sync_supers_bdi() functionality could get rid of this thread again. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

mm/page-writeback.c: add strictlimit feature The feature prevents mistrusted filesystems (ie: FUSE mounts created by unprivileged users) to grow a large number of dirty pages before throttling. For such filesystems balance_dirty_pages always check bdi counters against bdi limits. I.e. even if global "nr_dirty" is under "freerun", it's not allowed to skip bdi checks. The only use case for now is fuse: it sets bdi max_ratio to 1% by default and system administrators are supposed to expect that this limit won't be exceeded. The feature is on if a BDI is marked by BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT flag. A filesystem may set the flag when it initializes its BDI. The problematic scenario comes from the fact that nobody pays attention to the NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP counter (i.e. number of pages under fuse writeback). The implementation of fuse writeback releases original page (by calling end_page_writeback) almost immediately. A fuse request queued for real processing bears a copy of original page. Hence, if userspace fuse daemon doesn't finalize write requests in timely manner, an aggressive mmap writer can pollute virtually all memory by those temporary fuse page copies. They are carefully accounted in NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP, but nobody cares. To make further explanations shorter, let me use "NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem" as a shortcut for "a possibility of uncontrolled grow of amount of RAM consumed by temporary pages allocated by kernel fuse to process writeback". The problem was very easy to reproduce. There is a trivial example filesystem implementation in fuse userspace distribution: fusexmp_fh.c. I added "sleep(1);" to the write methods, then recompiled and mounted it. Then created a huge file on the mount point and run a simple program which mmap-ed the file to a memory region, then wrote a data to the region. An hour later I observed almost all RAM consumed by fuse writeback. Since then some unrelated changes in kernel fuse made it more difficult to reproduce, but it is still possible now. Putting this theoretical happens-in-the-lab thing aside, there is another thing that really hurts real world (FUSE) users. This is write-through page cache policy FUSE currently uses. I.e. handling write(2), kernel fuse populates page cache and flushes user data to the server synchronously. This is excessively suboptimal. Pavel Emelyanov's patches ("writeback cache policy") solve the problem, but they also make resolving NR_WRITEBACK_TEMP problem absolutely necessary. Otherwise, simply copying a huge file to a fuse mount would result in memory starvation. Miklos, the maintainer of FUSE, believes strictlimit feature the way to go. And eventually putting FUSE topics aside, there is one more use-case for strictlimit feature. Using a slow USB stick (mass storage) in a machine with huge amount of RAM installed is a well-known pain. Let's make simple computations. Assuming 64GB of RAM installed, existing implementation of balance_dirty_pages will start throttling only after 9.6GB of RAM becomes dirty (freerun == 15% of total RAM). So, the command "cp 9GB_file /media/my-usb-storage/" may return in a few seconds, but subsequent "umount /media/my-usb-storage/" will take more than two hours if effective throughput of the storage is, to say, 1MB/sec. After inclusion of strictlimit feature, it will be trivial to add a knob (e.g. /sys/devices/virtual/bdi/x:y/strictlimit) to enable it on demand. Manually or via udev rule. May be I'm wrong, but it seems to be quite a natural desire to limit the amount of dirty memory for some devices we are not fully trust (in the sense of sustainable throughput).

mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writes This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the author of the stable page series! :) This patch: Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

writeback: switch to per-bdi threads for flushing data This gets rid of pdflush for bdi writeout and kupdated style cleaning. pdflush writeout suffers from lack of locality and also requires more threads to handle the same workload, since it has to work in a non-blocking fashion against each queue.

writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.

blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs. Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the interface. As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an actual block device is involved or not. As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat updates The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb (bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the framework for the actual switching. This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates. The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another, the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together; unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu operations which are performed without holding any lock in some places. This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted, mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction. In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against mapping->tree_lock. This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching. v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order. v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too. Function names and comments updated accordingly. s/inode_wb_stat_unlocked_{begin|end}/unlocked_inode_to_wb_{begin|end}/ s/switch_wb/switch_wbs/ Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

writeback: implement unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction and use it for stat updates The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb (bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the framework for the actual switching. This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates. The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another, the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together; unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu operations which are performed without holding any lock in some places. This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted, mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction. In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against mapping->tree_lock. This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching. v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates. unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order. v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too. Function names and comments updated accordingly. s/inode_wb_stat_unlocked_{begin|end}/unlocked_inode_to_wb_{begin|end}/ s/switch_wb/switch_wbs/ Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Greg Thelen <gthelen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL. Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both detected by the kbuild bot. v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg rather than blkcg.

writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback 52ebea749aae ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().
