Subject: [PATCH 6.6.y 3/3] f2fs: remove mappedtodisk flag usage in mmap write path
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 12:18:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110171210.2630515-3-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110171210.2630515-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Nanzhe Zhao <zhaonanzhe@xiaomi.com>
[ Upstream commit b3c9843589257631bac18f30655e82d88970688a ]
PG_mappedtodisk was inherited from the nobh/buffer-head era. However,
f2fs has no buffer heads and the flag is no longer meaningful. The only
user of the flag is the "no holes" shortcut in f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite(),
which makes mmap write faults skip marking the folio dirty. Moreover,
it causes the following race condition with filesystem freezing:
CPU0 (write fault) CPU1 (freeze_super)
---- ----
f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite()
sb_start_pagefault()
/* shortcut: no dirty */
sb_end_pagefault()
sb_wait_write(SB_FREEZE_PAGEFAULT)
/* no waiter, passes */
sync_filesystem()
/* folio not dirty, skipped */
finish_fault()
/* PTE writable */
fault_dirty_shared_page()
folio_mark_dirty()
/* dirty folio on a frozen fs */
It will also skip APP_MAPPED_IO iostat/REQ_TIME updates and post-EOF
folio zeroing.
Remove this shortcut in f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite() and stop setting it in
f2fs_read_single_page().
