[PATCH 0/14] mm: tmpfs and trunc changes, affecting drm

[PATCH 0/14] mm: tmpfs and trunc changes, affecting drm

[Hugh Dickins]

Here's a patchset for mmotm, based on 30-rc1.  Nothing exciting,
mostly cleanup, preparation for what will probably be two more
patchsets coming over the next few weeks, first simplifying tmpfs
by getting rid of its ->readpage (give it a splice instead), then
getting rid of its peculiar swap index (use radix_tree instead).

The ordering here is somewhat illogical, arranged in the hope that
at least the first four can get into 30-rc, which would simplify
the dependencies between linux-next and mmotm.

The first is just an independent fix (I think) noticed on the way.
2,3,4 affect the interface between tmpfs and drm very slightly.
Once they're in 30-rc, drm maintainers could take 5,6,7,8 out of
mmotm and into linux-next (or even 30-rc).

[PATCH 1/14] mm: invalidate_mapping_pages flush cleancache

[Hugh Dickins]

truncate_inode_pages_range() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
call cleancache_flush_inode(mapping) before and after: shouldn't
invalidate_mapping_pages() be doing the same?

Hi Hugh --

I don't claim to be an expert on VFS, and so I have cc'ed
Chris Mason who originally placed the cleancache hooks
in VFS, but I think this patch is unnecessary.  Instead
of flushing ALL of the cleancache pages belonging to
the inode with cleancache_flush_inode, the existing code
eventually calls __delete_from_page_cache on EACH page
that is being invalidated. And since __delete_from_page_cache
calls cleancache_flush_page, only that subset of pages
in the mapping that invalidate_mapping_pages() would
invalidate (which, from the comment above the routine
indicates, is only *unlocked* pages) is removed from
cleancache.

However, there may be some path through VFS I am missing
or something else subtle I am misunderstanding so please
clarify if either is true.

Thanks,
Dan

On each one that's in pagecache (and satisfies the other "can we
do it easily?" conditions peculiar to invalidate_mapping_pages()).
But there may be other slots in the range that don't reach
__delete_from_page_cache() e.g. because not currently in pagecache,
but whose cleancache ought to be flushed.  I think that's what a
caller of invalidate_mapping_pages(), e.g. drop caches, expects.

It's nice to target the particular range asked for, rather than
throwing away all the cleancache for the whole mapping, I can
see that (though that's a defect in the cleancache_flush_inode()
interface).  But then why do truncate_inode_pages_range() and
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() throw it all away, despite
going down to __delete_from_page_cache on individual pages found?

Maybe the right patch is to remove cleancache_flush_inode() from
the two instead of adding it to the one?  But I think not.

We call invalidate_mapping_pages from prune_icache, so if we drop the
cleancache there we lose the cache entries any time the inode is dropped
from ram.

Is there a specific case you're thinking of where we want to drop the
cleancache but don't have the pages?

O_DIRECT perhaps?

I hadn't noticed that use of invalidate_mapping_pages().  Right,
I can understand that you wouldn't want to drop the cleancache there.

I was more conscious of the dispose_list() at the end of prune_icache(),
which would call truncate_inode_pages(), which would flush cleancache.

Ah, but inode only gets on the freeable list if can_unuse(inode),
and one of the reasons to retain the inode is if nrpages is non-0.

All rather odd, and what it adds up to, I think, is that if that
invalidate_mapping_pages() succeeds in removing all the pages from
the page cache (but leaving some in cleancache), then the inode may
advance to truncate_inode_pages(), and meet cleancache_flush_inode()
there.  (It happens to be called before the mapping->nrpages test.)

All rather odd, both the pruning decisions and the cleancache decisions.

The case I was thinking of, where I'd met invalidate_mapping_pages()
before, is fs/drop_caches.c ... which is about, er, dropping caches.

(But in general, why would you care to keep the cleancache when you
do have the pages?  I thought its use was for the pages we don't have.)

> 
> O_DIRECT perhaps?

Hadn't given it a thought.  But now you mention it, yes,
that one looks like a worry too.

[PATCH 3/14] tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range

[Hugh Dickins]

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control
its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate().
We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together.

Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface, so far implemented
only by tmpfs to support madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE).  Let it now be called
between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for
doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem
is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr.

Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr().  Instead of
calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can
call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform
its own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range().

Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range():
now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range,
there's no need to call it a third time.

Note that drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c i915_gem_object_truncate()
calls the tmpfs ->truncate_range directly: update that in a separate
patch later, for now just let it duplicate the truncate_inode_pages().
Because i915 handles unmap_mapping_range() itself at a different stage,
we have chosen not to bundle that into ->truncate_range.

I notice that ext4 is now joining ocfs2 and xfs in supporting fallocate
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE: perhaps they should support truncate_range, and
tmpfs should support fallocate?  But worry about that another time...

In your next series that makes it call the readpae replacement directly
it might be nice to also call directly into shmem for hole punching.

No, truncate_range and the madvice interface are pretty sad hacks that
should never have been added in the first place.  Adding
FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE support for shmem on the other hand might make
some sense.

(i915 isn't really doing hole-punching there, I think it just found it
a useful interface to remove the page-and-swapcache without touching
i_size.  Parentheses because it makes no difference to your point.)

Okay, I'd better do a v2 (probably not before the weekend), and change
that around to go explicitly to shmem there as well: I'd rather settle
the interfaces to other subsystems in this series, than mix it with the
implementation in the next series.

When I say "shmem", I am including the !SHMEM-was-TINY_SHMEM case too,
which goes to ramfs.  Currently i915 has been configured to disable that
possibility, though we insisted on it originally: there may or may not be
good reason for disabling it - may just be a side-effect of the rather
twisted unintuitive SHMEM/TMPFS dependencies.

Fine, I'll add tmpfs PUNCH_HOLE later on.  And wire up madvise MADV_REMOVE
to fallocate PUNCH_HOLE, yes?

Would you like me to remove the ->truncate_range method from
inode_operations completely?  I can do that now, hack directly to tmpfs
in the interim, in the same way as for i915.

Keeping i_size while removing pages on tmpfs fits the defintion of hole
punching for me.  Not that it matters anyway.

Hmm, the two different implementations make everything harder.  Also
because we don't even implement the hole punching in !SHMEM tmpfs.

Yeah.  One thing I've noticed is that the hole punching doesn't seem
to do the unmap_mapping_range.  It might be worth to audit that from the
VM point of view.

Doing that would be nice.  Do we always have the required file struct
for ->fallocate in the callers?

I'd noticed that recently too.

At first I was alarmed, but it's actually an inefficiency rather than
a danger: because at some stage a safety unmap_mapping_range() call has
been added into truncate_inode_page().  I don't know what case that was
originally for, but it will cover fallocate() for now.

This is a call to unmap_mapping_range() with 0 for the even_cows arg
i.e. it will not remove COWed copies of the file page from private
mappings.  I think that's good semantics for hole punching (and it's
difficult to enforce the alternative, because we've neither i_size nor
page lock to prevent races); but it does differ from the (odd) POSIX
truncation behaviour, to unmap even the private COWs.

What do you think?  If you think we should unmap COWs, then it ought
to be corrrected sooner.  Otherwise I was inclined not to rush (I'm
also wondering about cleancache in truncation: that should be another
mail thread, but might call for passing down a flag useful here too).

You might notice that the alternate hole-punching's vmtruncate_range()
is passing even_cows 1: doesn't matter in practice, since that one has
been restricted to operating on shared writable mappings.  Oh, I
suppose there could also be a parallel private writable mapping,
whose COWs would get unmapped.  Hmm, worth worrying about if we
choose the opposite with fallocate hole punching?

Good point, but yes, no problem.

I'm carrying on using ->truncate_range for the moment, partly because
I don't want to get diverted by testing the ->fallocate alternative yet,
but also because removing ->truncate_range now would force an immediate
change on drm/i915: better use shmem_truncate_range() for the transition.

[PATCH 4/14] tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp

[Hugh Dickins]

Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp()
is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before
calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache
which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache.

At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by
copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage.
Provide now a shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() ready for that transition,
and a shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for its common mapping_gfp case.

(shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp?  Generally
the read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the
read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think
read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

Tidy up the nearby declarations in pagemap.h.

What about just shmem_read_page?  It's not using the pagecache, so
no need for the mapping or cache, and the _gfp really is just a hack
because the old pagecache APIs didn't allow to pass the gfp flags.
For a new API there's no need for that.

This really shouldn't be in pagemap.h.  For now probably in shmem_fs.h

I am trying to mirror what's already there, and it's conceivable that
we'll find others who want converting from read_mapping_page() to
shmem_read_mapping_page(), so I'd rather keep the similar naming.

The _gfp() thing I'm not very keen on, but can't avoid it for i915.
If anyone else needs something here, it's likely to be without _gfp().

Okay, I can move it there, if I do the same for those shmem_...()
interfaces currently in linux/mm.h too.

[PATCH 5/14] drm/ttm: use shmem_read_mapping_page

[Hugh Dickins]

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_mapping_page():
once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied,
this patch can be applied to ease the transition.

ttm_tt_swapin() and ttm_tt_swapout() use shmem_read_mapping_page()
in place of read_mapping_page(), since their swap_space has been
created with shmem_file_setup().

[PATCH 6/14] drm/i915: use shmem_read_mapping_page

[Hugh Dickins]

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp():
once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied,
this patch can be applied to ease the transition.

i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in
the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(),
with the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized.

Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset,
asking for a cold page is counter-productive.

[PATCH 7/14] drm/i915: adjust to new truncate_range

[Hugh Dickins]

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly:
once "tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range" has been applied,
this can be applied.  For now it's only a slight inefficiency while
this remains unapplied, but soon it will become essential.

Given that it relies on beeing on shmemfs it should just call it
directly.

As agreed in other mail, I'll do a v2 series in a few days,
making that change - thanks.

[PATCH 8/14] drm/i915: more struct_mutex locking

[Hugh Dickins]

When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which
I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held
across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it.  Since
one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm guessing
the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case it is.

[PATCH 9/14] mm: cleanup descriptions of filler arg

[Hugh Dickins]

The often-NULL data arg to read_cache_page() and read_mapping_page()
functions is misdescribed as "destination for read data": no, it's the
first arg to the filler function, often struct file * to ->readpage().
And satisfy checkpatch.pl on those filler prototypes.

[PATCH 11/14] mm: tidy vmtruncate_range and related functions

[Hugh Dickins]

Use consistent variable names in truncate_pagecache(), truncate_setsize(),
vmtruncate() and vmtruncate_range().

unmap_mapping_range() and vmtruncate_range() have mismatched interfaces:
don't change either, but make the vmtruncates more precise about what
they expect unmap_mapping_range() to do.

vmtruncate_range() is currently called only with page-aligned start and
end+1: can handle unaligned start, but unaligned end+1 would hit BUG_ON
in truncate_inode_pages_range() (lacks partial clearing of the end page).

[PATCH 12/14] mm: consistent truncate and invalidate loops

[Hugh Dickins]

Make the pagevec_lookup loops in truncate_inode_pages_range(),
invalidate_mapping_pages() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
more consistent with each other.

They were relying upon page->index of an unlocked page, but apologizing
for it: accept it, embrace it, add comments and WARN_ONs, and simplify
the index handling.

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() had special handling for a wrapped
page->index + 1 = 0 case; but MAX_LFS_FILESIZE doesn't let us anywhere
near there, and a corrupt page->index in the radix_tree could cause
more trouble than that would catch.  Remove that wrapped handling.

invalidate_inode_pages2_range() uses min() to limit the pagevec_lookup
when near the end of the range: copy that into the other two, although
it's less useful than you might think (it limits the use of the buffer,
rather than the indices looked up).

[PATCH 13/14] mm: pincer in truncate_inode_pages_range

[Hugh Dickins]

truncate_inode_pages_range()'s final loop has a nice pincer property,
bringing start and end together, squeezing out the last pages.  But
the range handling missed out on that, just sliding up the range,
perhaps letting pages come in behind it.  Add one more test to give
it the same pincer effect.

[PATCH 14/14] tmpfs: no need to use i_lock

[Hugh Dickins]

2.6.36's 7e496299d4d2 to make tmpfs scalable with percpu_counter used
inode->i_lock in place of sbinfo->stat_lock around i_blocks updates;
but that was adverse to scalability, and unnecessary, since info->lock
is already held there in the fast paths.

Remove those uses of i_lock, and add info->lock in the three error
paths where it's then needed across shmem_free_blocks().  It's not
actually needed across shmem_unacct_blocks(), but they're so often
paired that it looks wrong to split them apart.
