Following feedback on the initial RFC [1], the modernization and architectural changes are split into different series. Additionally, based on the discussion in the v2 [2] of this series, the migration of NFS Direct I/O to folios would be handled in a separate follow-up series. Currently, NFS O_DIRECT relies on the legacy iov_iter_get_pages_alloc2() API which does not support the pinning requirements for P2P memory. The implementation moves NFS to the modern iov_iter_extract_pages() API. Design ====== 1. Pin-Awareness Standard NFS requests use get_page() and put_page() for memory management. However, memory extracted via iov_iter_extract_pages() requires explicit pinning. Introduce a PG_PINNED flag and a wb_nr_pinned count to struct nfs_page. This allows the request lifecycle to track ownership of physical pins and ensure that unpinning is performed only when the I/O is complete. 2. API Migration Migrate the Direct I/O path to the modern iov_iter_extract_pages() API. This aligns NFS with the modern extraction model and serves as the foundation for passing ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA in a follow-up series. Upcoming Work / Roadmap ================================ As decided in the RFC [1] & v2 [2], there will be separate series for P2PDMA Enablement and Migrating NFS Direct I/O to use folios. This series lays the necessary groundwork for the upcoming work. Following this, two additional series are planned: 1. Migrating NFS Direct I/O to Folios A series that introduces and exports helper from iov_iter.c to allow the nfs_direct_extract_pages() helper introduced here to aggregate multiple pages into a single large folio-based request, aiming to reduce the RPC overhead for hugepage I/O. 2. P2PDMA Enablement for NFS Enabling ITER_ALLOW_P2PDMA for the Direct I/O path and introducing transport-level negotiation (discovery of P2P-capable RDMA/NVMe devices). This will build upon the PG_PINNED infrastructure introduced by this series. Testing ======= This series has been tested with xfstests [3] on RDMA & TCP transports by running the quick test suite for each transport vs. version combo: ./check -g quick -s rdma3 -s rdma40 -s rdma41 -s rdma42 -s tcp3 -s tcp40 -s tcp41 -s tcp42 The tests were run before & after applying the series. No regressions were observed. The following summary was tabulated via a custom script [4] (on github) to depict that the tests failing in v1 [5] are now passing. python3 display.py results/*/check.log +--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ | testcase | rdma-sys-3 | rdma-sys-4.0 | rdma-sys-4.1 | rdma-sys-4.2 | tcp-sys-3 | tcp-sys-4.0 | tcp-sys-4.1 | tcp-sys-4.2 | +--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ | generic/091 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/130 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/139 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/143 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/154 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/155 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/183 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/188 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/190 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/196 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/198 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/203 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/214 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/240 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/263 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/287 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/290 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/292 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/330 | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | skipped | skipped | skipped | pass | | generic/444 | skipped | skipped | skipped | skipped | skipped | skipped | skipped | skipped | | generic/450 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/451 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/586 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/647 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/708 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/729 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | | generic/760 | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | pass | +--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+--------------+ Thanks, Praan [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260401194501.2269200-1-praan@google.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/ak8-NMsNPOB3zpF-@infradead.org/ [3] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfstests-dev.git [4] https://github.com/pran005/tools/blob/main/display.py [5] https://lore.kernel.org/all/29a0511d-5216-46f2-a7e4-9c04ae9b1890@app.fastmail.com/ [v5] -
