dax: Wake up all waiters after invalidating dax entry

2021-05-19T08:29:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 237388320deffde7c2d65ed8fc9eef670dc979b3 ] I am seeing missed wakeups which ultimately lead to a deadlock when I am using virtiofs with DAX enabled and running "make -j". I had to mount virtiofs as rootfs and also reduce to dax window size to 256M to reproduce the problem consistently. So here is the problem. put_unlocked_entry() wakes up waiters only if entry is not null as well as !dax_is_conflict(entry). But if I call multiple instances of invalidate_inode_pages2() in parallel, then I can run into a situation where there are waiters on this index but nobody will wake these waiters. invalidate_inode_pages2() invalidate_inode_pages2_range() invalidate_exceptional_entry2() dax_invalidate_mapping_entry_sync() __dax_invalidate_entry() { xas_lock_irq(&xas); entry = get_unlocked_entry(&xas, 0); ... ... dax_disassociate_entry(entry, mapping, trunc); xas_store(&xas, NULL); ... ... put_unlocked_entry(&xas, entry); xas_unlock_irq(&xas); } Say a fault in in progress and it has locked entry at offset say "0x1c". Now say three instances of invalidate_inode_pages2() are in progress (A, B, C) and they all try to invalidate entry at offset "0x1c". Given dax entry is locked, all tree instances A, B, C will wait in wait queue. When dax fault finishes, say A is woken up. It will store NULL entry at index "0x1c" and wake up B. When B comes along it will find "entry=0" at page offset 0x1c and it will call put_unlocked_entry(&xas, 0). And this means put_unlocked_entry() will not wake up next waiter, given the current code. And that means C continues to wait and is not woken up. This patch fixes the issue by waking up all waiters when a dax entry has been invalidated. This seems to fix the deadlock I am facing and I can make forward progress.

dax: Add a wakeup mode parameter to put_unlocked_entry()

2021-05-19T08:29:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4c3d043d271d4d629aa2328796cdfc96b37d3b3c ] As of now put_unlocked_entry() always wakes up next waiter. In next patches we want to wake up all waiters at one callsite. Hence, add a parameter to the function. This patch does not introduce any change of behavior.

dax: Add an enum for specifying dax wakup mode

2021-05-19T08:29:51+00:00

[ Upstream commit 698ab77aebffe08b312fbcdddeb0e8bd08b78717 ] Dan mentioned that he is not very fond of passing around a boolean true/false to specify if only next waiter should be woken up or all waiters should be woken up. He instead prefers that we introduce an enum and make it very explicity at the callsite itself. Easier to read code. This patch should not introduce any change of behavior.

mm: provide a saner PTE walking API for modules

2021-02-26T09:08:38+00:00

commit 9fd6dad1261a541b3f5fa7dc5b152222306e6702 upstream. Currently, the follow_pfn function is exported for modules but follow_pte is not. However, follow_pfn is very easy to misuse, because it does not provide protections (so most of its callers assume the page is writable!) and because it returns after having already unlocked the page table lock. Provide instead a simplified version of follow_pte that does not have the pmdpp and range arguments. The older version survives as follow_invalidate_pte() for use by fs/dax.c.

Pull fuse updates from Miklos Szeredi: - Support directly accessing host page cache from virtiofs. This can improve I/O performance for various workloads, as well as reducing the memory requirement by eliminating double caching. Thanks to Vivek Goyal for doing most of the work on this. - Allow automatic submounting inside virtiofs. This allows unique st_dev/ st_ino values to be assigned inside the guest to files residing on different filesystems on the host.

iomap: Change calling convention for zeroing

2020-09-21T15:59:27+00:00

Pass the full length to iomap_zero() and dax_iomap_zero(), and have them return how many bytes they actually handled. This is preparatory work for handling THP, although it looks like DAX could actually take advantage of it if there's a larger contiguous area.

dax: Create a range version of dax_layout_busy_page()

2020-09-10T09:39:22+00:00

virtiofs device has a range of memory which is mapped into file inodes using dax. This memory is mapped in qemu on host and maps different sections of real file on host. Size of this memory is limited (determined by administrator) and depending on filesystem size, we will soon reach a situation where all the memory is in use and we need to reclaim some. As part of reclaim process, we will need to make sure that there are no active references to pages (taken by get_user_pages()) on the memory range we are trying to reclaim. I am planning to use dax_layout_busy_page() for this. But in current form this is per inode and scans through all the pages of the inode. We want to reclaim only a portion of memory (say 2MB page). So we want to make sure that only that 2MB range of pages do not have any references (and don't want to unmap all the pages of inode). Hence, create a range version of this function named dax_layout_busy_page_range() which can be used to pass a range which needs to be unmapped.

dax: Fix incorrect argument passed to xas_set_err()

2020-07-31T00:14:33+00:00

The argument passed to xas_set_err() to indicate an error should be negative. Otherwise, xas_error() will return 0, and grab_mapping_entry() will return the found entry instead of 'SIGBUS' when the entry is not in fact valid. This would result in problems in subsequent code paths.
