The main performance enhancing changes are: - Define a structure, struct folio_queue, and a new iterator type, ITER_FOLIOQ, to hold a buffer as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. See that patch for questions about naming and form. ITER_FOLIOQ is provided as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. The problem with an xarray is that accessing it requires the use of a lock (typically the RCU read lock) - and this means that we can't supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep (crypto for example) without having to drop the lock between pages. ITER_FOLIOQ is the iterator for a chain of folio_queue structs, where each folio_queue holds a small list of folios. A folio_queue struct is a simpler structure than xarray and is not subject to concurrent manipulation by the VM. folio_queue is used rather than a bvec[] as it can form lists of indefinite size, adding to one end and removing from the other on the fly. - Provide a copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper. - Make cifs RDMA support ITER_FOLIOQ. - Use folio queues in the write-side helpers instead of xarrays. - Add a function to reset the iterator in a subrequest. - Simplify the write-side helpers to use sheaves to skip gaps rather than trying to work out where gaps are. - In afs, make the read subrequests asynchronous, putting them into work items to allow the next patch to do progressive unlocking/reading. - Overhaul the read-side helpers to improve performance. - Fix the caching of a partial block at the end of a file. - Allow a store to be cancelled. Then some changes for cifs to make it use folio queues instead of xarrays for crypto bufferage: - Use raw iteration functions rather than manually coding iteration when hashing data. - Switch to using folio_queue for crypto buffers. - Remove the xarray bits. Make some adjustments to the /proc/fs/netfs/stats file such that: - All the netfs stats lines begin 'Netfs:' but change this to something a bit more useful. - Add a couple of stats counters to track the numbers of skips and waits on the per-inode writeback serialisation lock to make it easier to check for this as a source of performance loss. Miscellaneous work: - Ensure that the sb_writers lock is taken around vfs_{set,remove}xattr() in the cachefiles code. - Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write(). - Move the CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR flag to the netfs_inode struct and remove cifs_post_modify(). - Move the max_len/max_nr_segs members from netfs_io_subrequest to netfs_io_request as they're only needed for one subreq at a time. - Add an 'unknown' source value for tracing purposes. - Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE as it's no longer used. - Set the request work function up front at allocation time. - Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq->lock as cachefiles completion may be run from block-filesystem DIO completion in softirq context. - Remove fs/netfs/io.c" * tag 'vfs-6.12.netfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (25 commits) docs: filesystems: corrected grammar of netfs page cifs: Don't support ITER_XARRAY cifs: Switch crypto buffer to use a folio_queue rather than an xarray cifs: Use iterate_and_advance*() routines directly for hashing netfs: Cancel dirty folios that have no storage destination cachefiles, netfs: Fix write to partial block at EOF netfs: Remove fs/netfs/io.c netfs: Speed up buffered reading afs: Make read subreqs async netfs: Simplify the writeback code netfs: Provide an iterator-reset function netfs: Use new folio_queue data type and iterator instead of xarray iter cifs: Provide the capability to extract from ITER_FOLIOQ to RDMA SGEs iov_iter: Provide copy_folio_from_iter() mm: Define struct folio_queue and ITER_FOLIOQ to handle a sequence of folios netfs: Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq->lock netfs: Set the request work function upon allocation netfs: Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE netfs: Reserve netfs_sreq_source 0 as unset/unknown netfs: Move max_len/max_nr_segs from netfs_io_subrequest to netfs_io_stream ... |
