Currently, even when a filesystem doesn't set the FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK
flag, if the filesystem uses wbc_init_bio() and wbc_account_io(), the
foreign inode detection and migration logic still ends up activating
cgroup writeback which is unexpected. This patch ensures that the
foreign inode detection logic stays disabled when inode_cgwb_enabled()
is false by not associating writeback_control's with bdi_writeback's.
This also avoids unnecessary operations in wbc_init_bio(),
wbc_account_io() and wbc_detach_inode() for filesystems which don't
support cgroup writeback.

For the purpose of foreign inode detection, wb's (bdi_writeback's) are
identified by the associated memcg ID. As we create a separate wb for
each memcg, this is enough to identify the active wb's; however, when
blkcg is enabled or disabled higher up in the hierarchy, the mapping
between memcg and blkcg changes which in turn creates a new wb to
service the new mapping. The old wb is unlinked from index and
released after all references are drained. The foreign inode
detection logic can't detect this condition because both the old and
new wb's point to the same memcg and thus never decides to move inodes
attached to the old wb to the new one.
This patch adds logic to initiate switching immediately in
wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode() if the associated wb is dying. We can
make the usual foreign detection logic to distinguish the different
wb's mapped to the memcg but the dying wb is never gonna be in active
service again and there's no point in tracking the usage history and
reaching the switch verdict after enough data points are collected.
It's already known that the wb has to be switched.

As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare
and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely
confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks
ownership per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing
of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by
different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common,
and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead
to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to
gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed).
To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier
of an inode and transfers the ownership to it. The previous patches
implemented the foreign condition detection mechanism and laid the
groundwork. This patch implements the actual switching.
With the previously implemented [unlocked_]inode_to_wb_and_list_lock()
and wb stat transaction, grabbing wb->list_lock, inode->i_lock and
mapping->tree_lock gives us full exclusion against all wb operations
on the target inode. inode_switch_wb_work_fn() grabs all the locks
and transfers the inode atomically along with its RECLAIMABLE and
WRITEBACK stats.

With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction. This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.
This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily. There are three
exceptions.
* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
wb may not be the inode's. Ensuring that is the function's role
after all. Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.
* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock(). Updated to deref inode->i_wb
directly.
* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
starting the transaction. Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
inode->i_wb directly.
v5: might_lock() removed. It annotates that the lock is grabbed w/
irq enabled which isn't the case and triggering lockdep warning
spuriously.
v4: might_lock() added to unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin().
v3: inode_congested() conversion added.
v2: locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() was missing in the first
version.

Similar to wb stat updates, inode_congested() accesses the associated
wb of an inode locklessly, which will break with foreign inode wb
switching. This path updates inode_congested() to use unlocked inode
wb access transaction introduced by the previous patch.
Combined with the previous two patches, this makes all wb list and
access operations to be protected by either of inode->i_lock,
wb->list_lock, or mapping->tree_lock while wb switching is in
progress.

updates
The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.
This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.
The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.
This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.
In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.
v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.
v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
Function names and comments updated accordingly.

cgroup writeback currently assumes that inode to wb association
doesn't change; however, with the planned foreign inode wb switching
mechanism, the association will change dynamically.
When an inode needs to be put on one of the IO lists of its wb, the
current code simply calls inode_to_wb() and locks the returned wb;
however, with the planned wb switching, the association may change
before locking the wb and may even get released.
This patch implements [locked_]inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() which pins
the associated wb while holding i_lock, releases it, acquires
wb->list_lock and verifies that the association hasn't changed
inbetween. As the association will be protected by both locks among
other things, this guarantees that the wb is the inode's associated wb
until the list_lock is released.

As concurrent write sharing of an inode is expected to be very rare
and memcg only tracks page ownership on first-use basis severely
confining the usefulness of such sharing, cgroup writeback tracks
ownership per-inode. While the support for concurrent write sharing
of an inode is deemed unnecessary, an inode being written to by
different cgroups at different points in time is a lot more common,
and, more importantly, charging only by first-use can too readily lead
to grossly incorrect behaviors (single foreign page can lead to
gigabytes of writeback to be incorrectly attributed).
To resolve this issue, cgroup writeback detects the majority dirtier
of an inode and will transfer the ownership to it. To avoid
unnnecessary oscillation, the detection mechanism keeps track of
history and gives out the switch verdict only if the foreign usage
pattern is stable over a certain amount of time and/or writeback
attempts.
The detection mechanism has fairly low space and computation overhead.
It adds 8 bytes to struct inode (one int and two u16's) and minimal
amount of calculation per IO. The detection mechanism converges to
the correct answer usually in several seconds of IO time when there's
a clear majority dirtier. Even when there isn't, it can reach an
acceptable answer fairly quickly under most circumstances.
Please see wb_detach_inode() for more details.
This patch only implements detection. Following patches will
implement actual switching.
v2: wbc_account_io() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is
writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
actual writing to the usual writeback path.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.
This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed.
wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.
As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.
v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is
writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
actual writing to the usual writeback path.

Currently, majority of cgroup writeback support including all the
above functions are implemented in include/linux/backing-dev.h and
mm/backing-dev.c; however, the portion closely related to writeback
logic implemented in include/linux/writeback.h and mm/page-writeback.c
will expand to support foreign writeback detection and correction.
This patch moves wb[_try]_get() and wb_put() to
include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h so that they can be used from
writeback.h and inode_{attach|detach}_wb() to writeback.h and
page-writeback.c.

This patch is a part of the series to define wb_domain which
represents a domain that wb's (bdi_writeback's) belong to and are
measured against each other in. This will enable IO backpressure
propagation for cgroup writeback.
global_dirty_limit exists to regulate the global dirty threshold which
is a property of the wb_domain. This patch moves hard_dirty_limit,
dirty_lock, and update_time into wb_domain.
This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any behavioral

__wb_update_bandwidth() is called from two places -
fs/fs-writeback.c::balance_dirty_pages() and
mm/page-writeback.c::wb_writeback(). The latter updates only the
write bandwidth while the former also deals with the dirty ratelimit.
The two callsites are distinguished by whether @thresh parameter is
zero or not, which is cryptic. In addition, the two files define
their own different versions of wb_update_bandwidth() on top of
__wb_update_bandwidth(), which is confusing to say the least. This
patch cleans up [__]wb_update_bandwidth() in the following ways.
* __wb_update_bandwidth() now takes explicit @update_ratelimit
parameter to gate dirty ratelimit handling.
* mm/page-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is flattened into its
caller - balance_dirty_pages().
* fs/fs-writeback.c::wb_update_bandwidth() is moved to
mm/page-writeback.c and __wb_update_bandwidth() is made static.
* While at it, add a lockdep assertion to __wb_update_bandwidth().
Except for the lockdep addition, this is pure reorganization and
doesn't introduce any behavioral changes.

The function name wb_dirty_limit(), its argument @dirty and the local
variable @wb_dirty are mortally confusing given that the function
calculates per-wb threshold value not dirty pages, especially given
that @dirty and @wb_dirty are used elsewhere for dirty pages.
Let's rename the function to wb_calc_thresh() and wb_dirty to
wb_thresh.

__mark_inode_dirty() always dirtied the inode against the root wb
(bdi_writeback). The previous patches added all the infrastructure
necessary to attribute an inode against the wb of the dirtying cgroup.
This patch updates __mark_inode_dirty() so that it uses the wb
associated with the inode instead of unconditionally using the root
one.
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being dirtied against the root wb.

[try_]writeback_inodes_sb[_nr]() and sync_inodes_sb() currently only
handle dirty inodes on the root wb (bdi_writeback) of the target bdi.
This patch implements bdi_split_work_to_wbs() and use it to make these
functions handle multiple wb's.
bdi_split_work_to_wbs() takes a base wb_writeback_work and create
clones of it and issue them to the wb's of the target bdi. The base
work's nr_pages is distributed using wb_split_bdi_pages() -
ie. according to each wb's write bandwidth's proportion in the bdi.
Cloning a bdi involves memory allocation which may fail. In such
cases, bdi_split_work_to_wbs() issues the base work directly and waits
for its completion before proceeding to the next wb to guarantee
forward progress and correctness under memory pressure.

try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() wraps writeback_inodes_sb_nr() so that it
handles s_umount locking and skips if writeback is already in
progress. The in progress test is performed on the root wb
(bdi_writeback) which isn't sufficient for cgroup writeback support.
The test must be done per-wb.
To prepare for the change, this patch factors out
__writeback_inodes_sb_nr() from writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and adds
@skip_if_busy and moves the in progress test right before queueing the
wb_writeback_work. try_writeback_inodes_sb_nr() now just grabs
s_umount and invokes __writeback_inodes_sb_nr() with asserted
@skip_if_busy. This way, later addition of multiple wb handling can
skip only the wb's which already have writeback in progress.
This swaps the order between in progress test and s_umount test which
can flip the return value when writeback is in progress and s_umount
is being held by someone else but this shouldn't cause any meaningful
difference. It's a fringe condition and the return value is an
unsynchronized hint anyway.

For cgroup writeback, multiple wb_writeback_work items may need to be
issuedto accomplish a single task. The previous patch updated the
waiting mechanism such that wb_wait_for_completion() can wait for
multiple work items.
Issuing mulitple work items involves memory allocation which may fail.
As most writeback operations can't fail or blocked on memory
allocation, in such cases, we'll fall back to sequential issuing of an
on-stack work item, which would need to be waited upon sequentially.
This patch implements wb_wait_for_single_work() which waits for a
single work item independently from wb_completion waiting so that such
fallback mechanism can be used without getting tangled with the usual
issuing / completion operation.

If the completion of a wb_writeback_work can be waited upon by setting
its ->done to a struct completion and waiting on it; however, for
cgroup writeback support, it's necessary to issue multiple work items
to multiple bdi_writebacks and wait for the completion of all.
This patch implements wb_completion which can wait for multiple work
items and replaces the struct completion with it. It can be defined
using DEFINE_WB_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(), used for multiple work items and
waited for by wb_wait_for_completion().
Nobody currently issues multiple work items and this patch doesn't
introduce any behavior changes.

wakeup_flusher_threads() currently only starts writeback on the root
wb (bdi_writeback). For cgroup writeback support, update the function
to wake up all wbs and distribute the number of pages to write
according to the proportion of each wb's write bandwidth, which is
implemented in wb_split_bdi_pages().

bdi_start_writeback() is a thin wrapper on top of
__wb_start_writeback() which is used only by laptop_mode_timer_fn().
This patches removes bdi_start_writeback(), renames
__wb_start_writeback() to wb_start_writeback() and makes
laptop_mode_timer_fn() use it instead.
This doesn't cause any functional difference and will ease making
laptop_mode_timer_fn() cgroup writeback aware.

There are several places in fs/fs-writeback.c which queues
wb_writeback_work without checking whether the target wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes or not. The only thing
wb_writeback_work does is writing back the dirty inodes for the target
wb and queueing a work item for a clean wb is essentially noop. There
are some side effects such as bandwidth stats being updated and
triggering tracepoints but these don't affect the operation in any
meaningful way.
This patch makes all writeback_inodes_sb_nr() and sync_inodes_sb()
skip wb_queue_work() if the target bdi is clean. Also, it moves
dirtiness check from wakeup_flusher_threads() to
__wb_start_writeback() so that all its callers benefit from the check.
While the overhead incurred by scheduling a noop work isn't currently
significant, the overhead may be higher with cgroup writeback support
as we may end up issuing noop work items to a lot of clean wb's.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.
To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.
While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
difference.
bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero. Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

cgroup writeback support needs to keep track of the sum of
avg_write_bandwidth of all wb's (bdi_writeback's) with dirty inodes to
distribute write workload. This patch adds bdi->tot_write_bandwidth
and updates inode_wb_list_move_locked(), inode_wb_list_del_locked()
and wb_update_write_bandwidth() to adjust it as wb's gain and lose
dirty inodes and its avg_write_bandwidth gets updated.
As the update events are not synchronized with each other,
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is an atomic_long_t.

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.
This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep
track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using
the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return
value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before.
mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of
inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake
up the wb.
While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool.
These functions were returning 0 and 1 before. Also, add a comment
explaining the synchronization of wb_state flags.
v2: Updated to accommodate b_dirty_time.

In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to
determine whether more IOs should be issued. With cgroup writeback
support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi
(backing_dev_info). It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi
support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.
This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback. The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places
where the query is about specific inode and task.
There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but
they should be updated when each filesystem implements cgroup
writeback support.
v2: Now that a given inode is associated with only one wb, congestion
state can be determined independent from the asking task. Drop
@task. Spotted by Vivek. Also, converted to take @inode instead
of @mapping and renamed to inode_congested().

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.
v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
rather than blkcg.

Now that bdi definitions are moved to backing-dev-defs.h,
backing-dev.h can include blkdev.h and inline inode_to_bdi() without
worrying about introducing circular include dependency. The function
gets called from hot paths and fairly trivial.
This patch makes inode_to_bdi() and sb_is_blkdev_sb() that the
function calls inline. blockdev_superblock and noop_backing_dev_info
are EXPORT_GPL'd to allow the inline functions to be used from
modules.
While at it, make sb_is_blkdev_sb() return bool instead of int.

bdi_unregister().
* bdi_wb_{init|exit}() are renamed to wb_{init|exit}().
Initializations of the moved bdi->wb_lock and ->work_list are

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all

Jan Kara pointed out that if there is an inode which is constantly
getting dirtied with I_DIRTY_PAGES, an inode with an updated timestamp
will never be written since inode->dirtied_when is constantly getting
updated. We fix this by adding an extra field to the inode,
dirtied_time_when, so inodes with a stale dirtytime can get detected
and handled.
In addition, if we have a dirtytime inode caused by an atime update,
and there is no write activity on the file system, we need to have a
secondary system to make sure these inodes get written out. We do
this by setting up a second delayed work structure which wakes up the
CPU much more rarely compared to writeback_expire_centisecs.

I've noticed significant locking contention in memory reclaimer around
sb_lock inside grab_super_passive(). Grab_super_passive() is called from
two places: in icache/dcache shrinkers (function super_cache_scan) and
from writeback (function __writeback_inodes_wb). Both are required for
progress in memory allocator.
Grab_super_passive() acquires sb_lock to increment sb->s_count and check
sb->s_instances. It seems sb->s_umount locked for read is enough here:
super-block deactivation always runs under sb->s_umount locked for write.
Protecting super-block itself isn't a problem: in super_cache_scan() sb
is protected by shrinker_rwsem: it cannot be freed if its slab shrinkers
are still active. Inside writeback super-block comes from inode from bdi
writeback list under wb->list_lock.
This patch removes locking sb_lock and checks s_instances under s_umount:
generic_shutdown_super() unlinks it under sb->s_umount locked for write.
New variant is called trylock_super() and since it only locks semaphore,
callers must call up_read(&sb->s_umount) instead of drop_super(sb) when
they're done.

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.
This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.
For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

Now that we got rid of the bdi abuse on character devices we can always use
sb->s_bdi to get at the backing_dev_info for a file, except for the block
device special case. Export inode_to_bdi and replace uses of
mapping->backing_dev_info with it to prepare for the removal of
mapping->backing_dev_info.

After invoking ->dirty_inode(), __mark_inode_dirty() does smp_mb() and
tests inode->i_state locklessly to see whether it already has all the
necessary I_DIRTY bits set. The comment above the barrier doesn't
contain any useful information - memory barriers can't ensure "changes
are seen by all cpus" by itself.
And it sure enough was broken. Please consider the following
scenario.
CPU 0 CPU 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
enters __writeback_single_inode()
grabs inode->i_lock
tests PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY which is clear
enters __set_page_dirty()
grabs mapping->tree_lock
sets PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
releases mapping->tree_lock
leaves __set_page_dirty()
enters __mark_inode_dirty()
smp_mb()
sees I_DIRTY_PAGES set
leaves __mark_inode_dirty()
clears I_DIRTY_PAGES
releases inode->i_lock
Now @inode has dirty pages w/ I_DIRTY_PAGES clear. This doesn't seem
to lead to an immediately critical problem because requeue_inode()
later checks PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY instead of I_DIRTY_PAGES when
deciding whether the inode needs to be requeued for IO and there are
enough unintentional memory barriers inbetween, so while the inode
ends up with inconsistent I_DIRTY_PAGES flag, it doesn't fall off the
IO list.
The lack of explicit barrier may also theoretically affect the other
I_DIRTY bits which deal with metadata dirtiness. There is no
guarantee that a strong enough barrier exists between
I_DIRTY_[DATA]SYNC clearing and write_inode() writing out the dirtied
inode. Filesystem inode writeout path likely has enough stuff which
can behave as full barrier but it's theoretically possible that the
writeout may not see all the updates from ->dirty_inode().
Fix it by adding an explicit smp_mb() after I_DIRTY clearing. Note
that I_DIRTY_PAGES needs a special treatment as it always needs to be
cleared to be interlocked with the lockless test on
__mark_inode_dirty() side. It's cleared unconditionally and
reinstated after smp_mb() if the mapping still has dirty pages.
Also add comments explaining how and why the barriers are paired.
Lightly tested.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

Pull GFS2 updates from Steven Whitehouse:
"One of the main highlights this time, is not the patches themselves
but instead the widening contributor base. It is good to see that
interest is increasing in GFS2, and I'd like to thank all the
contributors to this patch set.
In addition to the usual set of bug fixes and clean ups, there are
patches to improve inode creation performance when xattrs are required
and some improvements to the transaction code which is intended to
help improve scalability after further changes in due course.
Journal extent mapping is also updated to make it more efficient and
again, this is a foundation for future work in this area.
The maximum number of ACLs has been increased to 300 (for a 4k block
size) which means that even with a few additional xattrs from selinux,
everything should fit within a single fs block.
There is also a patch to bring GFS2's own copy of the writepages code
up to the same level as the core VFS. Eventually we may be able to
merge some of this code, since it is fairly similar.
The other major change this time, is bringing consistency to the
printing of messages via fs_<level>, pr_<level> macros"

GFS2 has carried what is more or less a copy of the
write_cache_pages() for some time. It seems that this
copy has slipped behind the core code over time. This
patch brings it back uptodate, and in addition adds the
tracepoint which would otherwise be missing.
We could go further, and eliminate some or all of the
code duplication here. The issue is that if we do that,
then the function we need to split out from the existing
write_cache_pages(), which will look a lot like
gfs2_jdata_write_pagevec(), would land up putting quite a
lot of extra variables on the stack. I know that has been
a problem in the past in the writeback code path, which
is why I've hesitated to do it here.

After commit 839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool
implementation with unbound workqueue") when device is removed while we
are writing to it we crash in bdi_writeback_workfn() ->
set_worker_desc() because bdi->dev is NULL.
This can happen because even though bdi_unregister() cancels all pending
flushing work, nothing really prevents new ones from being queued from
balance_dirty_pages() or other places.
Fix the problem by clearing BDI_registered bit in bdi_unregister() and
checking it before scheduling of any flushing work.

bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() used the mod_delayed_work() function to
schedule work to writeback dirty inodes. The problem with this is that
it can delay work that is scheduled for immediate execution, such as the
work from sync_inodes_sb(). This can happen since mod_delayed_work()
can now steal work from a work_queue. This fixes the problem by using
queue_delayed_work() instead. This is a regression caused by commit
839a8e8660b6 ("writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with
unbound workqueue").
The reason that this causes a problem is that laptop-mode will change
the delay, dirty_writeback_centisecs, to 60000 (10 minutes) by default.
In the case that bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed() races with
sync_inodes_sb(), sync will be stopped for 10 minutes and trigger a hung
task. Even if dirty_writeback_centisecs is not long enough to cause a
hung task, we still don't want to delay sync for that long.
We fix the problem by using queue_delayed_work() when we want to
schedule writeback sometime in future. This function doesn't change the
timer if it is already armed.
For the same reason, we also change bdi_writeback_workfn() to
immediately queue the work again in the case that the work_list is not
empty. The same problem can happen if the sync work is run on the
rescue worker.
