block: flip iter directions in blk_rq_integrity_map_user()

2025-06-03T23:24:59Z

blk_rq_integrity_map_user() creates the ubuf iter with ITER_DEST for write-direction operations and ITER_SOURCE for read-direction ones. This is backwards; writes use the user buffer as a source for metadata and reads use it as a destination. Switch to the rq_data_dir() helper, which maps writes to ITER_SOURCE (WRITE) and reads to ITER_DEST(READ).

direction is determined from bio, which is already passed in. Compute op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) directly instead of converting it to an iter direction and back to a bool.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controllers with the rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles). However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller. - cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly.

cgroup: use subsystem-specific rstat locks to avoid contention

2025-05-19T20:29:42Z

It is possible to eliminate contention between subsystems when updating/flushing stats by using subsystem-specific locks. Let the existing rstat locks be dedicated to the cgroup base stats and rename them to reflect that. Add similar locks to the cgroup_subsys struct for use with individual subsystems. Lock initialization is done in the new function ss_rstat_init(ss) which replaces cgroup_rstat_boot(void). If NULL is passed to this function, the global base stat locks will be initialized. Otherwise, the subsystem locks will be initialized. Change the existing lock helper functions to accept a reference to a css. Then within these functions, conditionally select the appropriate locks based on the subsystem affiliation of the given css. Add helper functions for this selection routine to avoid repeated code.
