Direct writes to zoned RT devices are extremely simple. After taking the
block reservation before acquiring the iolock, the iomap direct I/O calls
into ->iomap_begin which will return a "fake" iomap for the entire
requested range. The actual block allocation is then done from the
submit_io handler using code shared with the buffered I/O path.
The iomap_dio_ops set the bio_set to the (iomap) ioend one and initialize
the embedded ioend, which allows reusing the existing ioend based buffered
I/O completion path.

Implement buffered writes including page faults and block zeroing for
zoned RT devices. Buffered writes to zoned RT devices are split into
three phases:
1) a reservation for the worst case data block usage is taken before
acquiring the iolock. When there are enough free blocks but not
enough available one, garbage collection is kicked off to free the
space before continuing with the write. If there isn't enough
freeable space, the block reservation is reduced and a short write
will happen as expected by normal Linux write semantics.
2) with the iolock held, the generic iomap buffered write code is
called, which through the iomap_begin operation usually just inserts
delalloc extents for the range in a single iteration. Only for
overwrites of existing data that are not block aligned, or zeroing
operations the existing extent mapping is read to fill out the srcmap
and to figure out if zeroing is required.
3) the ->map_blocks callback to the generic iomap writeback code
calls into the zoned space allocator to actually allocate on-disk
space for the range before kicking of the writeback.
Note that because all writes are out of place, truncate or hole punches
that are not aligned to block size boundaries need to allocate space.
For block zeroing from truncate, ->setattr is called with the iolock
(aka i_rwsem) already held, so a hacky deviation from the above
scheme is needed. In this case the space reservations is called with
the iolock held, but is required not to block and can dip into the
reserved block pool. This can lead to -ENOSPC when truncating a
file, which is unfortunate. But fixing the calling conventions in
the VFS is probably much easier with code requiring it already in
mainline.
Similarly because all writes are out place, the zoned allocator can't
support unwritten extents and thus the FALLOC_FL_ALLOCATE_RANGE range
mode of fallocate. Other fallocate modes that would reserved space
but don't need to to provide proper semantics do work but do not
reserve space.

The ioend fields for distinct types of I/O are a bit complicated.
Consolidate them into a single io_flag field with it's own flags
decoupled from the iomap flags. This also prepares for adding a new

Since xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() only attempts to allocate the entire
delalloc extent and require multiple invocations to allocate the target
offset. So xfs_convert_blocks() add a loop to do this job and we call it
in the write back path, but xfs_convert_blocks() isn't a common helper.
Let's do it in xfs_bmapi_convert_delalloc() and drop
xfs_convert_blocks(), preparing for the post EOF delalloc blocks

syzbot reported an ext4 panic during a page fault where found a
journal handle when it didn't expect to find one. The structure
it tripped over had a value of 'TRAN' in the first entry in the
structure, and that indicates it tripped over a struct xfs_trans
instead of a jbd2 handle.
The reason for this is that the page fault was taken during a
copy-out to a user buffer from an xfs bulkstat operation. XFS uses
an "empty" transaction context for bulkstat to do automated metadata
buffer cleanup, and so the transaction context is valid across the
copyout of the bulkstat info into the user buffer.
We are using empty transaction contexts like this in XFS to reduce
the risk of failing to release objects we reference during the
operation, especially during error handling. Hence we really need to
ensure that we can take page faults from these contexts without
leaving landmines for the code processing the page fault to trip
over.
However, this same behaviour could happen from any other filesystem
that triggers a page fault or any other exception that is handled
on-stack from within a task context that has current->journal_info
set. Having a page fault from some other filesystem bounce into XFS
where we have to run a transaction isn't a bug at all, but the usage
of current->journal_info means that this could result corruption of
the outer task's journal_info structure.
The problem is purely that we now have two different contexts that
now think they own current->journal_info. IOWs, no filesystem can
allow page faults or on-stack exceptions while current->journal_info
is set by the filesystem because the exception processing might use
current->journal_info itself.
If we end up with nested XFS transactions whilst holding an empty
transaction, then it isn't an issue as the outer transaction does
not hold a log reservation. If we ignore the current->journal_info
usage, then the only problem that might occur is a deadlock if the
exception tries to take the same locks the upper context holds.
That, however, is not a problem that setting current->journal_info
would solve, so it's largely an irrelevant concern here.
IOWs, we really only use current->journal_info for a warning check
in xfs_vm_writepages() to ensure we aren't doing writeback from a
transaction context. Writeback might need to do allocation, so it
can need to run transactions itself. Hence it's a debug check to
warn us that we've done something silly, and largely it is not all
that useful.
So let's just remove all the use of current->journal_info in XFS and
get rid of all the potential issues from nested contexts where
current->journal_info might get misused by another filesystem
context.

Back in the days when a single bio could only be filled to the hardware
limits, and we scheduled a work item for each bio completion, chaining
multiple bios for a single ioend made a lot of sense to reduce the number
of completions. But these days bios can be filled until we reach the
number of vectors or total size limit, which means we can always fit at
least 1 megabyte worth of data in the worst case, but usually a lot more
due to large folios. The only thing bio chaining is buying us now is
to reduce the size of the allocation from an ioend with an embedded bio
into a plain bio, which is a 52 bytes differences on 64-bit systems.
This is not worth the added complexity, so remove the bio chaining and
only use the bio embedded into the ioend. This will help to simplify
further changes to the iomap writeback code.

When filesystem blocksize is less than folio size (either with
mapping_large_folio_support() or with blocksize < pagesize) and when the
folio is uptodate in pagecache, then even a byte write can cause
an entire folio to be written to disk during writeback. This happens
because we currently don't have a mechanism to track per-block dirty
state within struct iomap_folio_state. We currently only track uptodate
state.
This patch implements support for tracking per-block dirty state in
iomap_folio_state->state bitmap. This should help improve the filesystem
write performance and help reduce write amplification.
Performance testing of below fio workload reveals ~16x performance
improvement using nvme with XFS (4k blocksize) on Power (64K pagesize)

The recent writeback corruption fixes changed the code in
xfs_discard_folio() to calculate a byte range to for punching
delalloc extents. A mistake was made in using round_up(pos) for the
end offset, because when pos points at the first byte of a block, it
does not get rounded up to point to the end byte of the block. hence
the punch range is short, and this leads to unexpected behaviour in
certain cases in xfs_bmap_punch_delalloc_range.
e.g. pos = 0 means we call xfs_bmap_punch_delalloc_range(0,0), so
there is no previous extent and it rounds up the punch to the end of
the delalloc extent it found at offset 0, not the end of the range
given to xfs_bmap_punch_delalloc_range().
Fix this by handling the zero block offset case correctly.

Now that iomap supports a mechanism to validate cached iomaps for
buffered write operations, hook it up to the XFS buffered write ops
so that we can avoid data corruptions that result from stale cached
iomaps. See:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20220817093627.GZ3600936@dread.disaster.area/
or the ->iomap_valid() introduction commit for exact details of the
corruption vector.
The validity cookie we store in the iomap is based on the type of
iomap we return. It is expected that the iomap->flags we set in
xfs_bmbt_to_iomap() is not perturbed by the iomap core and are
returned to us in the iomap passed via the .iomap_valid() callback.
This ensures that the validity cookie is always checking the correct
inode fork sequence numbers to detect potential changes that affect
the extent cached by the iomap.

XFS has the unique behavior (as compared to the other Linux filesystems)
that on writeback errors it will completely invalidate the affected
folio and force the page cache to reread the contents from disk. All
other filesystems leave the page mapped and up to date.
This is a rude awakening for user programs, since (in the case where
write fails but reread doesn't) file contents will appear to revert to
old disk contents with no notification other than an EIO on fsync. This
might have been annoying back in the days when iomap dealt with one page
at a time, but with multipage folios, we can now throw away *megabytes*
worth of data for a single write error.
On *most* Linux filesystems, a program can respond to an EIO on write by
redirtying the entire file and scheduling it for writeback. This isn't
foolproof, since the page that failed writeback is no longer dirty and
could be evicted, but programs that want to recover properly *also*
have to detect XFS and regenerate every write they've made to the file.
When running xfs/314 on arm64, I noticed a UAF when xfs_discard_folio
invalidates multipage folios that could be undergoing writeback. If,
say, we have a 256K folio caching a mix of written and unwritten
extents, it's possible that we could start writeback of the first (say)
64K of the folio and then hit a writeback error on the next 64K. We
then free the iop attached to the folio, which is really bad because
writeback completion on the first 64k will trip over the "blocks per
folio > 1 && !iop" assertion.
This can't be fixed by only invalidating the folio if writeback fails at
the start of the folio, since the folio is marked !uptodate, which trips
other assertions elsewhere. Get rid of the whole behavior entirely.

Ioends are processed as an atomic completion unit when all the
chained bios in the ioend have completed their IO. Logically
contiguous ioends can also be merged and completed as a single,
larger unit. Both of these things can be problematic as both the
bio chains per ioend and the size of the merged ioends processed as
a single completion are both unbound.
If we have a large sequential dirty region in the page cache,
write_cache_pages() will keep feeding us sequential pages and we
will keep mapping them into ioends and bios until we get a dirty
page at a non-sequential file offset. These large sequential runs
can will result in bio and ioend chaining to optimise the io
patterns. The pages iunder writeback are pinned within these chains
until the submission chaining is broken, allowing the entire chain
to be completed. This can result in huge chains being processed
in IO completion context.
We get deep bio chaining if we have large contiguous physical
extents. We will keep adding pages to the current bio until it is
full, then we'll chain a new bio to keep adding pages for writeback.
Hence we can build bio chains that map millions of pages and tens of
gigabytes of RAM if the page cache contains big enough contiguous
dirty file regions. This long bio chain pins those pages until the
final bio in the chain completes and the ioend can iterate all the
chained bios and complete them.
OTOH, if we have a physically fragmented file, we end up submitting
one ioend per physical fragment that each have a small bio or bio
chain attached to them. We do not chain these at IO submission time,
but instead we chain them at completion time based on file
offset via iomap_ioend_try_merge(). Hence we can end up with unbound
ioend chains being built via completion merging.
XFS can then do COW remapping or unwritten extent conversion on that
merged chain, which involves walking an extent fragment at a time
and running a transaction to modify the physical extent information.
IOWs, we merge all the discontiguous ioends together into a
contiguous file range, only to then process them individually as
discontiguous extents.
This extent manipulation is computationally expensive and can run in
a tight loop, so merging logically contiguous but physically
discontigous ioends gains us nothing except for hiding the fact the
fact we broke the ioends up into individual physical extents at
submission and then need to loop over those individual physical
extents at completion.
Hence we need to have mechanisms to limit ioend sizes and
to break up completion processing of large merged ioend chains:
1. bio chains per ioend need to be bound in length. Pure overwrites
go straight to iomap_finish_ioend() in softirq context with the
exact bio chain attached to the ioend by submission. Hence the only
way to prevent long holdoffs here is to bound ioend submission
sizes because we can't reschedule in softirq context.
2. iomap_finish_ioends() has to handle unbound merged ioend chains
correctly. This relies on any one call to iomap_finish_ioend() being
bound in runtime so that cond_resched() can be issued regularly as
the long ioend chain is processed. i.e. this relies on mechanism #1
to limit individual ioend sizes to work correctly.
3. filesystems have to loop over the merged ioends to process
physical extent manipulations. This means they can loop internally,
and so we break merging at physical extent boundaries so the
filesystem can easily insert reschedule points between individual
extent manipulations.

Pull dax and libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.
Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
DAX+reflink support easier.
The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.
Some other miscellaneous cleanups and reflink prep patches are
included as well.
Summary:
- Simplify the dax_operations API:
- Eliminate bdev_dax_pgoff() in favor of the filesystem
maintaining and applying a partition offset to all its DAX iomap
operations.
- Remove wrappers and device-mapper stacked callbacks for
->copy_from_iter() and ->copy_to_iter() in favor of moving
block_device relative offset responsibility to the
dax_direct_access() caller.
- Remove the need for an @bdev in filesystem-DAX infrastructure
- Remove unused uio helpers copy_from_iter_flushcache() and
copy_mc_to_iter() as only the non-check_copy_size() versions are
used for DAX.
- Prepare XFS for the pending (next merge window) DAX+reflink support
- Remove deprecated DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT support
- Cleanup a straggling misuse of the GUID api"

If writeback I/O to a COW extent fails, the COW fork blocks are
punched out and the data fork blocks left alone. It is possible for
COW fork blocks to overlap non-shared data fork blocks (due to
cowextsz hint prealloc), however, and writeback unconditionally maps
to the COW fork whenever blocks exist at the corresponding offset of
the page undergoing writeback. This means it's quite possible for a
COW fork extent to overlap delalloc data fork blocks, writeback to
convert and map to the COW fork blocks, writeback to fail, and
finally for ioend completion to cancel the COW fork blocks and leave
stale data fork delalloc blocks around in the inode. The blocks are
effectively stale because writeback failure also discards dirty page
state.
If this occurs, it is likely to trigger assert failures, free space
accounting corruption and failures in unrelated file operations. For
example, a subsequent reflink attempt of the affected file to a new
target file will trip over the stale delalloc in the source file and
fail. Several of these issues are occasionally reproduced by
generic/648, but are reproducible on demand with the right sequence
of operations and timely I/O error injection.
To fix this problem, update the ioend failure path to also punch out
underlying data fork delalloc blocks on I/O error. This is analogous
to the writeback submission failure path in xfs_discard_page() where
we might fail to map data fork delalloc blocks and consistent with
the successful COW writeback completion path, which is responsible
for unmapping from the data fork and remapping in COW fork blocks.

->writepage is only used in one place - single page writeback from
memory reclaim. We only allow such writeback from kswapd, not from
direct memory reclaim, and so it is rarely used. When it comes from
kswapd, it is effectively random dirty page shoot-down, which is
horrible for IO patterns. We will already have background writeback
trying to clean all the dirty pages in memory as efficiently as
possible, so having kswapd interrupt our well formed IO stream only
slows things down. So get rid of xfs_vm_writepage() completely.

future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the

Per-inode ioend completion batching has a log reservation deadlock
vector between preallocated append transactions and transactions
that are acquired at completion time for other purposes (i.e.,
unwritten extent conversion or COW fork remaps). For example, if the
ioend completion workqueue task executes on a batch of ioends that
are sorted such that an append ioend sits at the tail, it's possible
for the outstanding append transaction reservation to block
allocation of transactions required to process preceding ioends in
the list.
Append ioend completion is historically the common path for on-disk
inode size updates. While file extending writes may have completed
sometime earlier, the on-disk inode size is only updated after
successful writeback completion. These transactions are preallocated
serially from writeback context to mitigate concurrency and
associated log reservation pressure across completions processed by
multi-threaded workqueue tasks.
However, now that delalloc blocks unconditionally map to unwritten
extents at physical block allocation time, size updates via append
ioends are relatively rare. This means that inode size updates most
commonly occur as part of the preexisting completion time
transaction to convert unwritten extents. As a result, there is no
longer a strong need to preallocate size update transactions.
Remove the preallocation of inode size update transactions to avoid
the ioend completion processing log reservation deadlock. Instead,
continue to send all potential size extending ioends to workqueue
context for completion and allocate the transaction from that
context. This ensures that no outstanding log reservation is owned
by the ioend completion worker task when it begins to process
ioends.
