2022-03-22remove inode_congested()NeilBrown
inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns 'false'. So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.

2022-03-22mm: improve cleanup when ->readpages doesn't process all pagesNeilBrown
If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try again. So: - remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s - update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually submitted. This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g. to congestion, which will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from page_Cache_async_ra().

2022-03-22mm: document and polish read-ahead codeNeilBrown
Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code to make it fit this documentation. The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra() request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all synchronous. When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

2021-07-13mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lockJan Kara
Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is like: fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / .. truncate_inode_pages_range() <create pages in page cache here> <update fs block mapping and free blocks> Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer. So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock - that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads / readahead. Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

2021-04-23mm: Implement readahead_control pageset expansionDavid Howells
Provide a function, readahead_expand(), that expands the set of pages specified by a readahead_control object to encompass a revised area with a proposed size and length. The proposed area must include all of the old area and may be expanded yet more by this function so that the edges align on (transparent huge) page boundaries as allocated. The expansion will be cut short if a page already exists in either of the areas being expanded into. Note that any expansion made in such a case is not rolled back. This will be used by fscache so that reads can be expanded to cache granule boundaries, thereby allowing whole granules to be stored in the cache, but there are other potential users also. Changes: v6: - Fold in a patch from Matthew Wilcox to tell the ondemand readahead algorithm about the expansion so that the next readahead starts at the right place[2]. v4: - Moved the declaration of readahead_expand() to a better place[1].

2020-10-17mm: use limited read-ahead to satisfy readJens Axboe
For the case where read-ahead is disabled on the file, or if the cgroup is congested, ensure that we can at least do 1 page of read-ahead to make progress on the read in an async fashion. This could potentially be larger, but it's not needed in terms of functionality, so let's error on the side of caution as larger counts of pages may run into reclaim issues (particularly if we're congested). This makes sure we're not hitting the potentially sync ->readpage() path for IO that is marked IOCB_WAITQ, which could cause us to block. It also means we'll use the same path for IO, regardless of whether or not read-ahead happens to be disabled on the lower level device.

2020-10-16mm/readahead: add DEFINE_READAHEADMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
Patch series "Readahead patches for 5.9/5.10". These are infrastructure for both the THP patchset and for the fscache rewrite, For both pieces of infrastructure being build on top of this patchset, we want the ractl to be available higher in the call-stack. For David's work, he wants to add the 'critical page' to the ractl so that he knows which page NEEDS to be brought in from storage, and which ones are nice-to-have. We might want something similar in block storage too. It used to be simple -- the first page was the critical one, but then mmap added fault-around and so for that usecase, the middle page is the critical one. Anyway, I don't have any code to show that yet, we just know that the lowest point in the callchain where we have that information is do_sync_mmap_readahead() and so the ractl needs to start its life there. For THP, we havew the code that needs it. It's actually the apex patch to the series; the one which finally starts to allocate THPs and present them to consenting filesystems: http://git.infradead.org/users/willy/pagecache.git/commitdiff/798bcf30ab2eff278caad03a9edca74d2f8ae760 This patch (of 8): Allow for a more concise definition of a struct readahead_control.

2020-06-02mm: put readahead pages in cache earlierMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)
When populating the page cache for readahead, mappings that use ->readpages must populate the page cache themselves as the pages are passed on a linked list which would normally be used for the page cache's LRU. For mappings that use ->readpage or the upcoming ->readahead method, we can put the pages into the page cache as soon as they're allocated, which solves a race between readahead and direct IO. It also lets us remove the gfp argument from read_pages(). Use the new readahead_page() API to implement the repeated calls to ->readpage(), just like most filesystems will.

2018-07-27readahead: stricter check for bdi io_pagesMarkus Stockhausen
ondemand_readahead() checks bdi->io_pages to cap the maximum pages that need to be processed. This works until the readit section. If we would do an async only readahead (async size = sync size) and target is at beginning of window we expand the pages by another get_next_ra_size() pages. Btrace for large reads shows that kernel always issues a doubled size read at the beginning of processing. Add an additional check for io_pages in the lower part of the func. The fix helps devices that hard limit bio pages and rely on proper handling of max_hw_read_sectors (e.g. older FusionIO cards). For that reason it could qualify for stable.

2016-12-12mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead settingJens Axboe
We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

2016-07-26mm, memcg: use consistent gfp flags during readaheadMichal Hocko
Vladimir has noticed that we might declare memcg oom even during readahead because read_pages only uses GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) while __do_page_cache_readahead uses page_cache_alloc_readahead which adds __GFP_NORETRY to prevent from OOMs. This gfp mask discrepancy is really unfortunate and easily fixable. Drop page_cache_alloc_readahead() which only has one user and outsource the gfp_mask logic into readahead_gfp_mask and propagate this mask from __do_page_cache_readahead down to read_pages. This alone would have only very limited impact as most filesystems are implementing ->readpages and the common implementation mpage_readpages does GFP_KERNEL (with mapping_gfp restriction) again. We can tell it to use readahead_gfp_mask instead as this function is called only during readahead as well. The same applies to read_cache_pages. ext4 has its own ext4_mpage_readpages but the path which has pages != NULL can use the same gfp mask. Btrfs, cifs, f2fs and orangefs are doing a very similar pattern to mpage_readpages so the same can be applied to them as well.
