writeback: collect stats of all wb of bdi in bdi_debug_stats_show
Patch series "Improve visibility of writeback", v5.
This series tries to improve visilibity of writeback. Patch 1 make
/sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats show writeback info of whole bdi instead
of only writeback info in root cgroup. Patch 2 add a new debug file
/sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/wb_stats to show per wb writeback info. Patch 3
add wb_monitor.py to monitor basic writeback info of running system, more
info could be added on demand. Patch 4 is a random cleanup. More details
can be found in respective patches.

This patch (of 5):
/sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats is supposed to show writeback information
of whole bdi, but only writeback information of bdi in root cgroup is
collected. So writeback information in non-root cgroup are missing now.
To be more specific, considering following case:
/* create writeback cgroup */
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
echo "+memory +io" > cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir group1
cd group1
echo $$ > cgroup.procs
/* do writeback in cgroup */
fio -name test -filename=/dev/vdb ...
/* get writeback info of bdi */
cat /sys/kernel/debug/bdi/xxx/stats
The cat result unexpectedly implies that there is no writeback on target
bdi.
Fix this by collecting stats of all wb in bdi instead of only wb in
root cgroup.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Misc features, cleanups, and fixes for vfs and individual filesystems.
Features:
- Support idmapped mounts for hugetlbfs.
- Add RWF_NOAPPEND flag for pwritev2(). This allows us to fix a bug
where the passed offset is ignored if the file is O_APPEND. The new
flag allows a caller to enforce that the offset is honored to
conform to posix even if the file was opened in append mode.
- Move i_mmap_rwsem in struct address_space to avoid false sharing
between i_mmap and i_mmap_rwsem.
- Convert efs, qnx4, and coda to use the new mount api.
- Add a generic is_dot_dotdot() helper that's used by various
filesystems and the VFS code instead of open-coding it multiple
times.
- Recently we've added stable offsets which allows stable ordering
when iterating directories exported through NFS on e.g., tmpfs
filesystems. Originally an xarray was used for the offset map but
that caused slab fragmentation issues over time. This switches the
offset map to the maple tree which has a dense mode that handles
this scenario a lot better. Includes tests.
- Finally merge the case-insensitive improvement series Gabriel has
been working on for a long time. This cleanly propagates case
insensitive operations through ->s_d_op which in turn allows us to
remove the quite ugly generic_set_encrypted_ci_d_ops() operations.
It also improves performance by trying a case-sensitive comparison
first and then fallback to case-insensitive lookup if that fails.
This also fixes a bug where overlayfs would be able to be mounted
over a case insensitive directory which would lead to all sort of
odd behaviors.
Cleanups:
- Make file_dentry() a simple accessor now that ->d_real() is
simplified because of the backing file work we did the last two
cycles.
- Use the dedicated file_mnt_idmap helper in ntfs3.
- Use smp_load_acquire/store_release() in the i_size_read/write
helpers and thus remove the hack to handle i_size reads in the
filemap code.
- The SLAB_MEM_SPREAD is a nop now. Remove it from various places in
fs/
- It's no longer necessary to perform a second built-in initramfs
unpack call because we retain the contents of the previous
extraction. Remove it.
- Now that we have removed various allocators kfree_rcu() always
works with kmem caches and kmalloc(). So simplify various places
that only use an rcu callback in order to handle the kmem cache
case.
- Convert the pipe code to use a lockdep comparison function instead
of open-coding the nesting making lockdep validation easier.
- Move code into fs-writeback.c that was located in a header but can
be made static as it's only used in that one file.
- Rewrite the alignment checking iterators for iovec and bvec to be
easier to read, and also significantly more compact in terms of
generated code. This saves 270 bytes of text on x86-64 (with
clang-18) and 224 bytes on arm64 (with gcc-13). In profiles it also
saves a bit of time for the same workload.
- Switch various places to use KMEM_CACHE instead of
kmem_cache_create().
- Use inode_set_ctime_to_ts() in inode_set_ctime_current()
- Use kzalloc() in name_to_handle_at() to avoid kernel infoleak.
- Various smaller cleanups for eventfds.
Fixes:
- Fix various comments and typos, and unneeded initializations.
- Fix stack allocation hack for clang in the select code.
- Improve dump_mapping() debug code on a best-effort basis.
- Fix build errors in various selftests.
- Avoid wrap-around instrumentation in various places.
- Don't allow user namespaces without an idmapping to be used for
idmapped mounts.
- Fix sysv sb_read() call.
- Fix fallback implementation of the get_name() export operation"

blk-wbt: Fix detection of dirty-throttled tasks
The detection of dirty-throttled tasks in blk-wbt has been subtly broken
since its beginning in 2016. Namely if we are doing cgroup writeback and
the throttled task is not in the root cgroup, balance_dirty_pages() will
set dirty_sleep for the non-root bdi_writeback structure. However
blk-wbt checks dirty_sleep only in the root cgroup bdi_writeback
structure. Thus detection of recently throttled tasks is not working in
this case (we noticed this when we switched to cgroup v2 and suddently
writeback was slow).
Since blk-wbt has no easy way to get to proper bdi_writeback and
furthermore its intention has always been to work on the whole device
rather than on individual cgroups, just move the dirty_sleep timestamp
from bdi_writeback to backing_dev_info. That fixes the checking for
recently throttled task and saves memory for everybody as a bonus.

Driver core changes for 6.4-rc1
Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1. Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these changes. This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules for all busses and classes in the kernel. The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most of them actually did so. Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other things: - kobject logging improvements - cacheinfo improvements and updates - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes - documentation updates - device property cleanups and const * changes - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

mm: add /sys/class/bdi/<bdi>/min_bytes knob
bdi has two existing knobs to limit the amount of dirty memory: min_ratio and max_ratio. However the granularity of the knobs is limited and often it is more convenient to specify limits in terms of bytes. This change adds the min_bytes knob. It does not store the min_bytes value, instead it converts the max_bytes value to a ratio. The value is therefore more an approximation than an absolute value. It also maintains the sum over all the bdi min_ratio values stored in the variable bdi_min_ratio.

writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device
When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.
Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.
Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

mm: bdi: initialize bdi_min_ratio when bdi is unregistered
Initialize min_ratio if it is set during bdi unregistration. This can prevent problems that may occur a when bdi is removed without resetting min_ratio. For example. 1) insert external sdcard 2) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 3) remove external sdcard without setting min_ratio 0 4) insert external sdcard 5) set external sdcard's min_ratio 70 << error occur(can't set) Because when an sdcard is removed, the present bdi_min_ratio value will remain. Currently, the only way to reset bdi_min_ratio is to reboot.

mm/vmscan: throttle reclaim until some writeback completes if congested
Patch series "Remove dependency on congestion_wait in mm/", v5.
This series that removes all calls to congestion_wait in mm/ and deletes
wait_iff_congested. It's not a clever implementation but
congestion_wait has been broken for a long time [1].
Even if congestion throttling worked, it was never a great idea. While
excessive dirty/writeback pages at the tail of the LRU is one
possibility that reclaim may be slow, there is also the problem of too
many pages being isolated and reclaim failing for other reasons
(elevated references, too many pages isolated, excessive LRU contention
etc).
This series replaces the "congestion" throttling with 3 different types.
- If there are too many dirty/writeback pages, sleep until a timeout or
enough pages get cleaned
- If too many pages are isolated, sleep until enough isolated pages are
either reclaimed or put back on the LRU
- If no progress is being made, direct reclaim tasks sleep until
another task makes progress with acceptable efficiency.
This was initially tested with a mix of workloads that used to trigger
corner cases that no longer work. A new test case was created called
"stutterp" (pagereclaim-stutterp-noreaders in mmtests) using a freshly
created XFS filesystem. Note that it may be necessary to increase the
timeout of ssh if executing remotely as ssh itself can get throttled and
the connection may timeout.
stutterp varies the number of "worker" processes from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
to check the impact as the number of direct reclaimers increase. It has
four types of worker.
- One "anon latency" worker creates small mappings with mmap() and
times how long it takes to fault the mapping reading it 4K at a time
- X file writers which is fio randomly writing X files where the total
size of the files add up to the allowed dirty_ratio. fio is allowed
to run for a warmup period to allow some file-backed pages to
accumulate. The duration of the warmup is based on the best-case
linear write speed of the storage.
- Y file readers which is fio randomly reading small files
- Z anon memory hogs which continually map (100-dirty_ratio)% of memory
- Total estimated WSS = (100+dirty_ration) percentage of memory
X+Y+Z+1 == NR_WORKERS varying from 4 up to NR_CPUS*4
The intent is to maximise the total WSS with a mix of file and anon
memory where some anonymous memory must be swapped and there is a high
likelihood of dirty/writeback pages reaching the end of the LRU.
The test can be configured to have no background readers to stress
dirty/writeback pages. The results below are based on having zero
readers.
The short summary of the results is that the series works and stalls
until some event occurs but the timeouts may need adjustment.
The test results are not broken down by patch as the series should be
treated as one block that replaces a broken throttling mechanism with a
working one.
Finally, three machines were tested but I'm reporting the worst set of
results. The other two machines had much better latencies for example.
First the results of the "anon latency" latency

For most thread counts, the time to mmap() is unfortunately increased.
In earlier versions of the series, this was lower but a large number of
throttling events were reaching their timeout increasing the amount of
inefficient scanning of the LRU. There is no prioritisation of reclaim
tasks making progress based on each tasks rate of page allocation versus
progress of reclaim. The variance is also impacted for high worker
counts but in all cases, the differences in latency are not
statistically significant due to very large maximum outliers. Max-90
shows that 90% of the stalls are comparable but the Max results show the
massive outliers which are increased to to stalling.
It is expected that this will be very machine dependant. Due to the
test design, reclaim is difficult so allocations stall and there are
variances depending on whether THPs can be allocated or not. The amount
of memory will affect exactly how bad the corner cases are and how often
they trigger. The warmup period calculation is not ideal as it's based
on linear writes where as fio is randomly writing multiple files from
multiple tasks so the start state of the test is variable. For example,
these are the latencies on a single-socket machine that had more memory

Kswapd scanned less pages but the detailed pattern is different. The
vanilla kernel scans slowly over time where as the patches exhibits
burst patterns of scan activity. Direct reclaim scanning is reduced by
52% due to stalling.
The pattern for stealing pages is also slightly different. Both kernels
exhibit spikes but the vanilla kernel when reclaiming shows pages being
reclaimed over a period of time where as the patches tend to reclaim in
spikes. The difference is that vanilla is not throttling and instead
scanning constantly finding some pages over time where as the patched
kernel throttles and reclaims in spikes.
Ops Percentage direct scans 90.59 77.37
For direct reclaim, vanilla scanned 90.59% of pages where as with the
patches, 77.37% were direct reclaim due to throttling

82394 writeback_wait_iff_congested: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=0
The fast majority of wait_iff_congested calls do not stall at all. What
is likely happening is that cond_resched() reschedules the task for a
short period when the BDI is not registering congestion (which it never
will in this test setup).
1 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=120000

778 writeback_congestion_wait: usec_timeout=100000 usec_delayed=104000
congestion_wait if called always exceeds the timeout as there is no
trigger to wake it up.
Bottom line: Vanilla will throttle but it's not effective.
Patch series
------------
Kswapd throttle activity was always due to scanning pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU

The majority of events did not stall or stalled for a short period.
Roughly 16% of stalls reached the timeout before expiry. For direct
reclaim, the number of times stalled for each reason were
6624 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED
93246 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_NOPROGRESS
96934 reason=VMSCAN_THROTTLE_WRITEBACK
The most common reason to stall was due to excessive pages tagged for
immediate reclaim at the tail of the LRU followed by a failure to make
forward. A relatively small number were due to too many pages isolated
from the LRU by parallel threads
For VMSCAN_THROTTLE_ISOLATED, the breakdown of delays was

Most did not stall at all. A small number reached the timeout.

The full timeout is often hit but a large number also do not stall at
all. The remainder slept a little allowing other reclaim tasks to make
progress.
While this timeout could be further increased, it could also negatively
impact worst-case behaviour when there is no prioritisation of what task
should make progress.

The majority hit the timeout in direct reclaim context although a
sizable number did not stall at all. This is very different to kswapd
where only a tiny percentage of stalls due to writeback reached the
timeout.
Bottom line, the throttling appears to work and the wakeup events may
limit worst case stalls. There might be some grounds for adjusting
timeouts but it's likely futile as the worst-case scenarios depend on
the workload, memory size and the speed of the storage. A better
approach to improve the series further would be to prioritise tasks
based on their rate of allocation with the caveat that it may be very
expensive to track.
This patch (of 5):
Page reclaim throttles on wait_iff_congested under the following
conditions:
- kswapd is encountering pages under writeback and marked for immediate
reclaim implying that pages are cycling through the LRU faster than
pages can be cleaned.
- Direct reclaim will stall if all dirty pages are backed by congested
inodes.
wait_iff_congested is almost completely broken with few exceptions.
This patch adds a new node-based workqueue and tracks the number of
throttled tasks and pages written back since throttling started. If
enough pages belonging to the node are written back then the throttled
tasks will wake early. If not, the throttled tasks sleeps until the
timeout expires.

writeback: fix bandwidth estimate for spiky workload
Michael Stapelberg has reported that for workload with short big spikes of writes (GCC linker seem to trigger this frequently) the write throughput is heavily underestimated and tends to steadily sink until it reaches zero. This has rather bad impact on writeback throttling (causing stalls). The problem is that writeback throughput estimate gets updated at most once per 200 ms. One update happens early after we submit pages for writeback (at that point writeout of only small fraction of pages is completed and thus observed throughput is tiny). Next update happens only during the next write spike (updates happen only from inode writeback and dirty throttling code) and if that is more than 1s after previous spike, we decide system was idle and just ignore whatever was written until this moment. Fix the problem by making sure writeback throughput estimate is also updated shortly after writeback completes to get reasonable estimate of throughput for spiky workloads.

writeback: track number of inodes under writeback
Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4. Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g. generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as a result writeback on the device is practically stalled. The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code. This patch (of 4): Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure. We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too expensive.

writeback, cgroup: release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes
Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups, which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups. Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively blocking the frn switching. A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writeback
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be prohibitively expensive. While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback structure. This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs structures more efficiently.

bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flag
The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code. To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g. a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code. One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which also is writable for easier testing.
