Merge tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull writeback updates from Christian Brauner: "Features: - Allow file systems to increase the minimum writeback chunk size. The relatively low minimal writeback size of 4MiB means that written back inodes on rotational media are switched a lot. Besides introducing additional seeks, this also can lead to extreme file fragmentation on zoned devices when a lot of files are cached relative to the available writeback bandwidth. This adds a superblock field that allows the file system to override the default size, and sets it to the zone size for zoned XFS. - Add logging for slow writeback when it exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs. This helps identify tasks waiting for a long time and pinpoint potential issues. Recording the starting jiffies is also useful when debugging a crashed vmcore. - Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk Cleanups: - filemap_* writeback interface cleanups. Adding filemap_fdatawrite_wbc ended up being a mistake, as all but the original btrfs caller should be using better high level interfaces instead. This series removes all these low-level interfaces, switches btrfs to a more specific interface, and cleans up other too low-level interfaces. With this the writeback_control that is passed to the writeback code is only initialized in three places. - Remove __filemap_fdatawrite, __filemap_fdatawrite_range, and filemap_fdatawrite_wbc - Add filemap_flush_nr helper for btrfs - Push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes in btrfs - Rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range - Stop opencoding filemap_fdatawrite_range in 9p, ocfs2, and mm - Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs" * tag 'vfs-6.19-rc1.writeback' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: fs: Make wbc_to_tag() inline and use it in fs. xfs: set s_min_writeback_pages for zoned file systems writeback: allow the file system to override MIN_WRITEBACK_PAGES writeback: cleanup writeback_chunk_size mm: rename filemap_fdatawrite_range_kick to filemap_flush_range mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite_range mm: remove filemap_fdatawrite_wbc mm: remove __filemap_fdatawrite mm,btrfs: add a filemap_flush_nr helper btrfs: push struct writeback_control into start_delalloc_inodes btrfs: use the local tmp_inode variable in start_delalloc_inodes ocfs2: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in ocfs2_journal_submit_inode_data_buffers 9p: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in v9fs_mmap_vm_close mm: don't opencode filemap_fdatawrite_range in filemap_invalidate_inode writeback: Add logging for slow writeback (exceeds sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs) writeback: Wake up waiting tasks when finishing the writeback of a chunk.
