License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

mm: vmscan: kick flushers when we encounter dirty pages on the LRU Memory pressure can put dirty pages at the end of the LRU without anybody running into dirty limits. Don't start writing individual pages from kswapd while the flushers might be asleep. Unlike the old direct reclaim flusher wakeup (removed in the next patch) that flushes the number of pages just scanned, this patch wakes the flushers for all outstanding dirty pages. That seemed to perform better in a synthetic test that pushes dirty pages to the end of the LRU and into reclaim, because we know LRU aging outstrips writeback already, and this way we give younger dirty pages a headstart rather than wait until reclaim runs into them as well. It also means less plugging and risk of exhausting the struct request pool from reclaim. There is a concern that this will cause temporary files that used to get dirtied and truncated before writeback to now get written to disk under memory pressure. If this turns out to be a real problem, we'll have to revisit this and tame the reclaim flusher wakeups.

mm: kick writeback flusher for IOCB_DONTCACHE with targeted dirty tracking The IOCB_DONTCACHE writeback path in generic_write_sync() calls filemap_flush_range() on every write, submitting writeback inline in the writer's context. Perf lock contention profiling shows the performance problem is not lock contention but the writeback submission work itself — walking the page tree and submitting I/O blocks the writer for milliseconds, inflating p99.9 latency from 23ms (buffered) to 93ms (dontcache). Replace the inline filemap_flush_range() call with a flusher kick that drains dirty pages in the background. This moves writeback submission completely off the writer's hot path. To avoid flushing unrelated buffered dirty data, add a dedicated WB_start_dontcache bit and wb_check_start_dontcache() handler that uses the per-wb WB_DONTCACHE_DIRTY counter to determine how many pages to write back. The flusher writes back that many pages from the oldest dirty inodes (not restricted to dontcache-specific inodes). This helps preserve I/O batching while limiting the scope of expedited writeback. Like WB_start_all, the WB_start_dontcache bit coalesces multiple DONTCACHE writes into a single flusher wakeup without per-write allocations. Use test_and_clear_bit to atomically consume the kick request before reading the dirty counter and starting writeback, so that concurrent DONTCACHE writes during writeback can re-set the bit and schedule a follow-up flusher run. Read the dirty counter with wb_stat_sum() (aggregating per-CPU batches) rather than wb_stat() (which reads only the global counter) to ensure small writes below the percpu batch threshold are visible to the flusher. In filemap_dontcache_kick_writeback(), set the WB_start_dontcache bit inside the unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end section for correct cgroup writeback domain targeting, but defer the wb_wakeup() call until after the section ends, since wb_wakeup() uses spin_unlock_irq() which would unconditionally re-enable interrupts while the i_pages xa_lock may still be held under irqsave during a cgroup writeback switch. Pin the wb with wb_get() inside the RCU critical section before calling wb_wakeup() outside it, since cgroup bdi_writeback structures are RCU-freed and the wb pointer could become invalid after unlocked_inode_to_wb_end() drops the RCU read lock. Also add WB_REASON_DONTCACHE as a new writeback reason for tracing visibility. dontcache-bench results (same host, T6F_SKL_1920GBF, 251 GiB RAM, xfs on NVMe, fio io_uring): Buffered and direct I/O paths are unaffected by this patchset. All improvements are confined to the dontcache path: Single-stream throughput (MB/s): Before After Change seq-write/dontcache 298 897 +201% rand-write/dontcache 131 236 +80% Tail latency improvements (seq-write/dontcache): p99: 135,266 us -> 23,986 us (-82%) p99.9: 8,925,479 us -> 28,443 us (-99.7%) Multi-writer (4 jobs, sequential write): Before After Change dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 2,529 4,532 +79% dontcache p99 (us) 8,553 1,002 -88% dontcache p99.9 (us) 109,314 1,057 -99% Dontcache multi-writer throughput now matches buffered (4,532 vs 4,616 MB/s). 32-file write (Axboe test): Before After Change dontcache aggregate (MB/s) 1,548 3,499 +126% dontcache p99 (us) 10,170 602 -94% Peak dirty pages (MB) 1,837 213 -88% Dontcache now reaches 81% of buffered throughput (was 35%). Competing writers (dontcache vs buffered, separate files): Before After buffered writer 868 433 MB/s dontcache writer 415 433 MB/s Aggregate 1,284 866 MB/s Previously the buffered writer starved the dontcache writer 2:1. With per-bdi_writeback tracking, both writers now receive equal bandwidth. The aggregate matches the buffered-vs-buffered baseline (863 MB/s), indicating fair sharing regardless of I/O mode. The dontcache writer's p99.9 latency collapsed from 119 ms to 33 ms (-73%), eliminating the severe periodic stalls seen in the baseline. Both writers now share identical latency profiles, matching the buffered-vs-buffered pattern. The per-bdi_writeback dirty tracking dramatically reduces peak dirty pages in dontcache workloads, with the 32-file test dropping from 1.8 GB to 213 MB. Dontcache sequential write throughput triples and multi-writer throughput reaches parity with buffered I/O, with tail latencies collapsing by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

The swap-cache address space (swapper_spaces), however, doesn't populate its ->host (struct inode) pointer, thus leading to the crashes in the corner-case aforementioned. commit 19343b5bdd16 ended up breaking the assignment of __entry->name and __entry->ino for the wait_on_page_writeback tracepoint -- both dependent on mapping->host carrying a pointer to a valid inode. The assignment of __entry->name was fixed by commit 68f23b89067f ("memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears"), and this commit fixes the remaining case, for __entry->ino.

writeback: prevent memory cgroup release in writeback module In the near future, a folio will no longer pin its corresponding memory cgroup. To ensure safety, it will only be appropriate to hold the rcu read lock or acquire a reference to the memory cgroup returned by folio_memcg(), thereby preventing it from being released. In the current patch, the function get_mem_cgroup_css_from_folio() and the rcu read lock are employed to safeguard against the release of the memory cgroup. This serves as a preparatory measure for the reparenting of the LRU pages.

memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be re-written. These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a 'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages() will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit 919e3bd9a875 ("NFS: Ensure we commit after writeback is complete")) it makes more sense to treat them as writeback pages. So this patch removes NR_UNSTABLE_NFS and accounts unstable pages in NR_WRITEBACK and WB_WRITEBACK. A particular effect of this change is that when wb_check_background_flush() calls wb_over_bg_threshold(), the latter will report 'true' a lot less often as the 'unstable' pages are no longer considered 'dirty' (as there is nothing that writeback can do about them anyway). Currently wb_check_background_flush() will trigger writeback to NFS even when there are relatively few dirty pages (if there are lots of unstable pages), this can result in small writes going to the server (10s of Kilobytes rather than a Megabyte) which hurts throughput. With this patch, there are fewer writes which are each larger on average. Where the NR_UNSTABLE_NFS count was included in statistics virtual-files, the entry is retained, but the value is hard-coded as zero. static trace points and warning printks which mentioned this counter no longer report it.

The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages(). This patch (of 3): Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist. To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter.

memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

writeback: fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb In the commit dcc25ae76eb7 ("writeback: move global_dirty_limit into wb_domain") of the cgroup writeback backpressure propagation patchset, Tejun made some adaptations to trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgroup writeback. However, this adaptation was incomplete and Tejun missed further adaptation in the subsequent patches. In the cgroup writeback scenario, if sdtc in balance_dirty_pages() is assigned to mdtc, then upon entering trace_balance_dirty_pages(), __entry->limit should be assigned based on the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain, rather than global_wb_domain. To address this issue and simplify the implementation, introduce a 'limit' field in struct dirty_throttle_control to store the hard_limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() by calling hard_dirty_limit(). This field will then be used in trace_balance_dirty_pages() to assign the value to __entry->limit.

writeback: let trace_balance_dirty_pages() take struct dtc as parameter Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2. In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages() in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding memcg's wb_domain. The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages(). This patch (of 3): Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter. However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist. To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter. To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to include/linux/writeback.h.

So, print out cgroup ino instead of path name, which could be converted to path name by userland. Withouth CGROUP_WRITEBACK enabled, it just prints out root dir. But, root dir ino vary from different filesystems, so printing out -1U to indicate an invalid cgroup ino.
