filemap_unaccount_folio() has a WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_dirty(folio)). It
is good to warn of late dirtying on a persistent filesystem, but late
dirtying on tmpfs can only lose data which is expected to be thrown away;
and it's a pity if that warning comes ONCE on tmpfs, then hides others
which really matter. Make it conditional on mapping_cap_writeback().
Cleanup: then folio_account_cleaned() no longer needs to check that for
itself, and so no longer needs to know the mapping.

Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
"Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
take a folio instead of a page.
Notably:
- a_ops->is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and
changes the type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it
obvious they're bytes.
- a_ops->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a
similar type change.
- a_ops->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()
- a_ops->set_page_dirty() becomes ->dirty_folio() and adds the
address_space as an argument.
There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth
separating into their own pull request"

Since commit a804552b9a15 ("mm/page-writeback.c: fix
dirty_balance_reserve subtraction from dirtyable memory"), local
variable x can not be negative. And it can not overflow when it is the
total number of dirtyable highmem pages. Thus remove the unneeded
comment and overflow check.

This replaces ->set_page_dirty(). It returns a bool instead of an int
and takes the address_space as a parameter instead of expecting the
implementations to retrieve the address_space from the page. This is
particularly important for filesystems which use FS_OPS for swap.

Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived
Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a
lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the
congestion state is not updated for all BDIs.
This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback
that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no
correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but
that is still better than congestion_wait.

Transform write_one_page() into folio_write_one() and add a compatibility
wrapper. Also move the declaration to pagemap.h as this is page cache
functionality that doesn't need to be used by the rest of the kernel.
Saves 58 bytes of kernel text. While folio_write_one() is 101 bytes
smaller than write_one_page(), the inlined call to page_folio() expands
each caller. There are fewer than ten callers so it doesn't seem worth
putting a wrapper in the core.

We do some unlocked reads of writeback statistics like
avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, or bw_time_stamp. Generally we are
fine with getting somewhat out-of-date values but actually getting
different values in various parts of the functions because the compiler
decided to reload value from original memory location could confuse
calculations. Use READ_ONCE for these unlocked accesses and WRITE_ONCE
for the updates to be on the safe side.

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.

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback(). However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g. from fsync(2). Make sure writeback estimates happen
reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().

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.

Don't leak the detaŃ–ls of the timer into the block layer, instead
initialize the timer in bdi_alloc and delete it in bdi_unregister.
Note that this means the timer is initialized (but not armed) for
non-block queues as well now.

Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead. This will set the dirty bit
on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the
future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the
pages are not on any LRU lists.

Patch series "Further set_page_dirty cleanups".
Prompted by Christoph's recent patches, here are some more patches to
improve the state of set_page_dirty(). They're all from the folio tree,
so they've been tested to a certain extent.
This patch (of 6):
Nothing in __set_page_dirty() is specific to buffer_head, so move it to
mm/page-writeback.c. That removes the only caller of
account_page_dirtied() outside of page-writeback.c, so make it static.

Fix performance when BDI's share of ratio is 0.
The issue is similar to commit 74d369443325 ("writeback: Fix
performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()").
Balance_dirty_pages and the writeback worker will also disagree on
whether writeback when a BDI uses BDI_CAP_STRICTLIMIT and BDI's share
of the thresh ratio is zero.
For example, A thread on cpu0 writes 32 pages and then
balance_dirty_pages, it will wake up background writeback and pauses
because wb_dirty > wb->wb_thresh = 0 (share of thresh ratio is zero).
A thread may runs on cpu0 again because scheduler prefers pre_cpu.
Then writeback worker may runs on other cpus(1,2..) which causes the
value of wb_stat(wb, WB_RECLAIMABLE) in wb_over_bg_thresh is 0 and does
not writeback and returns.
Thus, balance_dirty_pages keeps looping, sleeping and then waking up the
worker who will do nothing. It remains stuck in this state until the
writeback worker hit the right dirty cpu or the dirty pages expire.
The fix that we should get the wb_stat_sum radically when thresh is low.

We have already delete block_dump feature in mark_inode_dirty() because
it can be replaced by tracepoints, now we also remove the part in
submit_bio() for the same reason. The part of block dump feature in
submit_bio() dump the write process, write region and sectors on the
target disk into kernel message. it can be replaced by
block_bio_queue tracepoint in submit_bio_checks(), so we do not need
block_dump anymore, remove the whole block_dump feature.

Page writeback doesn't hold a page reference, which allows truncate to
free a page the second PageWriteback is cleared. This used to require
special attention in test_clear_page_writeback(), where we had to be
careful not to rely on the unstable page->memcg binding and look up all
the necessary information before clearing the writeback flag.
Since commit 073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and
BUG_ON(PageWriteback)") test_clear_page_writeback() is called with an
explicit reference on the page, and this dance is no longer needed.
Use unlock_page_memcg() and dec_lruvec_page_state() directly.
This removes the last user of the lock_page_memcg() return value, change
it to void. Touch up the comments in there as well. This also removes
the last extern user of __unlock_page_memcg(), make it static. Further,
it removes the last user of dec_lruvec_state(), delete it, along with a
few other unused helpers.

Ever since commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common()
logic") we've had some very occasional reports of BUG_ON(PageWriteback)
in write_cache_pages(), which we thought we already fixed in commit
073861ed77b6 ("mm: fix VM_BUG_ON(PageTail) and BUG_ON(PageWriteback)").
But syzbot just reported another one, even with that commit in place.
And it turns out that there's a simpler way to trigger the BUG_ON() than
the one Hugh found with page re-use. It all boils down to the fact that
the page writeback is ostensibly serialized by the page lock, but that
isn't actually really true.
Yes, the people _setting_ writeback all do so under the page lock, but
the actual clearing of the bit - and waking up any waiters - happens
without any page lock.
This gives us this fairly simple race condition:
CPU1 = end previous writeback
CPU2 = start new writeback under page lock
CPU3 = write_cache_pages()
CPU1 CPU2 CPU3
---- ---- ----
end_page_writeback()
test_clear_page_writeback(page)
... delayed...
lock_page();
set_page_writeback()
unlock_page()
lock_page()
wait_on_page_writeback();
wake_up_page(page, PG_writeback);
.. wakes up CPU3 ..
BUG_ON(PageWriteback(page));
where the BUG_ON() happens because we woke up the PG_writeback bit
becasue of the _previous_ writeback, but a new one had already been
started because the clearing of the bit wasn't actually atomic wrt the
actual wakeup or serialized by the page lock.
The reason this didn't use to happen was that the old logic in waiting
on a page bit would just loop if it ever saw the bit set again.
The nice proper fix would probably be to get rid of the whole "wait for
writeback to clear, and then set it" logic in the writeback path, and
replace it with an atomic "wait-to-set" (ie the same as we have for page
locking: we set the page lock bit with a single "lock_page()", not with
"wait for lock bit to clear and then set it").
However, out current model for writeback is that the waiting for the
writeback bit is done by the generic VFS code (ie write_cache_pages()),
but the actual setting of the writeback bit is done much later by the
filesystem ".writepages()" function.
IOW, to make the writeback bit have that same kind of "wait-to-set"
behavior as we have for page locking, we'd have to change our roughly
~50 different writeback functions. Painful.
Instead, just make "wait_on_page_writeback()" loop on the very unlikely
situation that the PG_writeback bit is still set, basically re-instating
the old behavior. This is very non-optimal in case of contention, but
since we only ever set the bit under the page lock, that situation is
controlled.
