[PATCH v2 0/6] Remove __folio_index again

[PATCH v2 0/6] Remove __folio_index again

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

I renamed page->index to page->__folio_index a year ago.  That proved to
be insufficient to prevent people from using it, so take more extreme
measures to make it inaccessible except through struct folio.

v2:
 - Split patch 1 into patches 1-3
 - Remove inversion of the i_size condition
 - Use page_offset() instead of page_pgoff()
 - Preserve the call to flush_dcache_page() in all circumstances
 - Use offset_in_page() instead of open-coding it
 - Remove shadowing definition of struct folio in patch 4
 - Delete the printing of page->index in show_page_info.py
 - Unname the padding where folio stores index instead of trying to
   create an unguessable name (Arnd)
 - Justify removal of page->share in patch 6

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (6):
  ntfs: Inline zero_partial_compressed_page()
  ntfs: Remove use of __folio_index in handle_bounds_compressed_page()
  ntfs: Use zero_user_segment() in handle_bounds_compressed_page()
  ntfs: Remove references to page->__folio_index
  show_page_info: Remove printing of page index
  mm: Remove __folio_index

[PATCH v2 1/6] ntfs: Inline zero_partial_compressed_page()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

zero_partial_compressed_page() has one caller and the next commit
will make changes to it that make it inelegant to split across two
functions.

[PATCH v2 2/6] ntfs: Remove use of __folio_index in handle_bounds_compressed_page()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Nobody is supposed to use page->__folio_index.  Use page_offset()
instead, and simplify by working exclusively in loff_t instead of mixing
up loff_t and pgoff_t.

Are you saying my transformation is non-equivalent (and I have
introduced a bug), or are you noting that this is a pre-existing bug?

If the latter, is the error that the else branch exists, or did the
author intend to write a different test?

The transformation is non-equivalent.

The original code's outer and inner tests are not the same test.
outer: page->__folio_index >= (initialized_size >> PAGE_SHIFT)
inner: page->__folio_index << PAGE_SHIFT

These differ when initialized_size is not page aligned, because the
outer right-hand side floors and the inner left-hand side doesn't.

After your patch, both the outer test and inner test is:
pos >= initialized_size

I think the fix to make it equivaltent is to relax the outer test
so that it includes PAGE_SIZE (maybe?). i.e. make your outer if
statement to be the below to make it equivalent?

if ((pos + PAGE_SIZE > initialized_size) && (initialized_size < i_size)) {

And then the else branch in your code should hopefully make sense.

[PATCH v2 3/6] ntfs: Use zero_user_segment() in handle_bounds_compressed_page()

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

This fixes handle_bounds_compressed_page() on highmem memory
as page_address() does not work on memory which has been kmap_local(),
only on kmap() memory.

Is the else branch over here unreacheable as the outer if statement

[PATCH v2 4/6] ntfs: Remove references to page->__folio_index

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Pages don't have indexes, folios have indexes.  Correct this in
ntfs_read_compressed_block() and also remove a use of page->mapping
while I'm in here.  Also convert the calls to unlock_page() and
flush_dcache_page().

[PATCH v2 5/6] show_page_info: Remove printing of page index

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

Pages don't have indexes, folios have indexes.  Just delete it.  This
script is going to become increasingly barren unless somebody steps up
to maintain it.

[PATCH v2 6/6] mm: Remove __folio_index

[Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)]

People have been abusing the existence of __folio_index.  Since that
was too subtle for them, unname it entirely.  Now we can't use it in the
FOLIO_MATCH, TABLE_MATCH and ZPDESC_MATCH macros, but that's OK, since
we don't care whether these fields alias index or some other field.
Also remove page->share since all users have been converted to use
folio->share and I'm absolutely certain somebody will start to access
folio->index through page->share if it's not removed.
