PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

If a bio for a direct IO request fails, we were not setting the error in
the parent bio (the main DIO bio), making us not return the error to
user space in btrfs_direct_IO(), that is, it made __blockdev_direct_IO()
return the number of bytes issued for IO and not the error a bio created
and submitted by btrfs_submit_direct() got from the block layer.
This essentially happens because when we call:
dio_end_io(dio_bio, bio->bi_error);
It does not set dio_bio->bi_error to the value of the second argument.
So just add this missing assignment in endio callbacks, just as we do in
the error path at btrfs_submit_direct() when we fail to clone the dio bio
or allocate its private object. This follows the convention of what is
done with other similar APIs such as bio_endio() where the caller is
responsible for setting the bi_error field in the bio it passes as an
argument to bio_endio().
This was detected by the new generic test cases in xfstests: 271, 272,
276 and 278. Which essentially setup a dm error target, then load the
error table, do a direct IO write and unload the error table. They
expect the write to fail with -EIO, which was not getting reported
when testing against btrfs.

btrfs: properly set the termination value of ctx->pos in readdir
Btrfs: fix hang on extent buffer lock caused by the inode_paths ioctl
Btrfs: remove no longer used function extent_read_full_page_nolock()
Btrfs: fix page reading in extent_same ioctl leading to csum errors
Btrfs: fix invalid page accesses in extent_same (dedup) ioctl
The value of ctx->pos in the last readdir call is supposed to be set to
INT_MAX due to 32bit compatibility, unless 'pos' is intentially set to a
larger value, then it's LLONG_MAX.
There's a report from PaX SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin that "ctx->pos++"
overflows (https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4284), on a
64bit arch, where the value is 0x7fffffffffffffff ie. LLONG_MAX before
the increment.
We can get to that situation like that:
* emit all regular readdir entries
* still in the same call to readdir, bump the last pos to INT_MAX
* next call to readdir will not emit any entries, but will reach the
bump code again, finds pos to be INT_MAX and sets it to LLONG_MAX
Normally this is not a problem, but if we call readdir again, we'll find
'pos' set to LLONG_MAX and the unconditional increment will overflow.
The report from Victor at

The jump from 7fffffff to 7fffffffffffffff happens when new dir entries
are not yet synced and are processed from the delayed list. Then the code
could go to the bump section again even though it might not emit any new
dir entries from the delayed list.
The fix avoids entering the "bump" section again once we've finished
emitting the entries, both for synced and delayed entries.

When extending a file by either "truncate up" or by writing beyond i_size, the
page which had i_size needs to be marked "read only" so that future writes to
the page via mmap interface causes btrfs_page_mkwrite() to be invoked. If not,
a write performed after extending the file via the mmap interface will find
the page to be writaeable and continue writing to the page without invoking
btrfs_page_mkwrite() i.e. we end up writing to a file without reserving disk
space.

An fsync, using the fast path, can race with a concurrent lockless direct
IO write and end up logging a file extent item that points to an extent
that wasn't written to yet. This is because the fast fsync path collects
ordered extents into a local list and then collects all the new extent
maps to log file extent items based on them, while the direct IO write
path creates the new extent map before it creates the corresponding
ordered extent (and submitting the respective bio(s)).
So fix this by making the direct IO write path create ordered extents
before the extent maps and make the fast fsync path collect any new
ordered extents after it collects the extent maps.
Note that making the fsync handler call inode_dio_wait() (after acquiring
the inode's i_mutex) would not work and lead to a deadlock when doing
AIO, as through AIO we end up in a path where the fsync handler is called
(through dio_aio_complete_work() -> dio_complete() -> vfs_fsync_range())
before the inode's dio counter is decremented (inode_dio_wait() waits
for this counter to have a value of zero).

- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.
The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account

Although we prefer to use separate caches for various structs, it seems
better not to do that for struct btrfs_delalloc_work. Objects of this
type are allocated rarely, when transaction commit calls
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots, requesting delayed iputs.
The objects are temporary (with some IO involved) but still allocated
and freed within __start_delalloc_inodes. Memory allocation failure is
handled.
The slab cache is empty most of the time (observed on several systems),
so if we need to allocate a new slab object, the first one has to
allocate a full page. In a potential case of low memory conditions this
might fail with higher probability compared to using the generic slab
caches.

Inodes for delayed iput allocate a trivial helper structure, let's place
the list hook directly into the inode and save a kmalloc (killing a
__GFP_NOFAIL as a bonus) at the cost of increasing size of btrfs_inode.
The inode can be put into the delayed_iputs list more than once and we
have to keep the count. This means we can't use the list_splice to
process a bunch of inodes because we'd lost track of the count if the
inode is put into the delayed iputs again while it's processed.

We hit this panic on a few of our boxes this week where we have an

dirty pages. If the inode has been unlinked then we could have I_FREEING set

When we are creating a symlink we might fail with an error after we
