DONTCACHE I/O must have the completion punted to a workqueue, just like
what is done for unwritten extents, as the completion needs task context
to perform the invalidation of the folio(s). However, if writeback is
started off filemap_fdatawrite_range() off generic_sync() and it's an
overwrite, then the DONTCACHE marking gets lost as iomap_add_to_ioend()
don't look at the folio being added and no further state is passed down
to help it know that this is a dropbehind/DONTCACHE write.
Check if the folio being added is marked as dropbehind, and set
IOMAP_IOEND_DONTCACHE if that is the case. Then XFS can factor this into
the decision making of completion context in xfs_submit_ioend().
Additionally include this ioend flag in the NOMERGE flags, to avoid
mixing it with unrelated IO.
Since this is the 3rd flag that will cause XFS to punt the completion to
a workqueue, add a helper so that each one of them can get appropriately
commented.
This fixes extra page cache being instantiated when the write performed
is an overwrite, rather than newly instantiated blocks.

In iomap_adjust_read_range, i is either the first !uptodate block, or it
is past last for the second loop looking for trailing uptodate blocks.
Assuming there's no overflow (there's no combination of huge folios and
tiny blksize) then yeah, there is no point in retesting that the same
block pointed to by i is uptodate since we hold the folio lock so nobody
else could have set it uptodate.

reported. In all cases the calling code was founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"

Merge tag 'vfs-6.15-rc1.iomap' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs iomap updates from Christian Brauner:
- Allow the filesystem to submit the writeback bios.
- Allow the filsystem to track completions on a per-bio bases
instead of the entire I/O.
- Change writeback_ops so that ->submit_bio can be done by the
filesystem.
- A new ANON_WRITE flag for writes that don't have a block number
assigned to them at the iomap level leaving the filesystem to do
that work in the submission handler.
- Incremental iterator advance
The folio_batch support for zero range where the filesystem provides
a batch of folios to process that might not be logically continguous
requires more flexibility than the current offset based iteration
currently offers.
Update all iomap operations to advance the iterator within the
operation and thus remove the need to advance from the core iomap
iterator.
- Make buffered writes work with RWF_DONTCACHE
If RWF_DONTCACHE is set for a write, mark the folios being written as
uncached. On writeback completion the pages will be dropped.
- Introduce infrastructure for large atomic writes
This will eventually be used by xfs and ext4.

Flag IOMAP_ATOMIC_SW is not really required. The idea of having this flag
is that the FS ->iomap_begin callback could check if this flag is set to
decide whether to do a SW (FS-based) atomic write. But the FS can set
which ->iomap_begin callback it wants when deciding to do a FS-based
atomic write.
Furthermore, it was thought that IOMAP_ATOMIC_HW is not a proper name, as
the block driver can use SW-methods to emulate an atomic write. So change
back to IOMAP_ATOMIC.
The ->iomap_begin callback needs though to indicate to iomap core that
REQ_ATOMIC needs to be set, so add IOMAP_F_ATOMIC_BIO for that.
These changes were suggested by Christoph Hellwig and Dave Chinner.

Previously, iomap_readpage_iter() returning 0 would break out of the
loops of iomap_readahead_iter(), which is what iomap_read_inline_data()
relies on.
However, commit d9dc477ff6 ("iomap: advance the iter directly on
buffered read") changes this behavior without calling
iomap_iter_advance(), which causes EROFS to get stuck in
iomap_readpage_iter().
It seems iomap_iter_advance() cannot be called in
iomap_read_inline_data() because of the iomap_write_begin() path, so
handle this in iomap_readpage_iter() instead.

Filesystems like ext4 can submit writes in multiples of blocksizes.
But we still can't allow the writes to be split. Hence let's check if
the iomap_length() is same as iter->len or not.
It is the role of the FS to ensure that a single mapping may be created
for an atomic write. The FS will also continue to check size and alignment

Currently atomic write support requires dedicated HW support. This imposes
a restriction on the filesystem that disk blocks need to be aligned and
contiguously mapped to FS blocks to issue atomic writes.
XFS has no method to guarantee FS block alignment for regular,
non-RT files. As such, atomic writes are currently limited to 1x FS block
there.
To deal with the scenario that we are issuing an atomic write over
misaligned or discontiguous data blocks - and raise the atomic write size
limit - support a SW-based software emulated atomic write mode. For XFS,
this SW-based atomic writes would use CoW support to issue emulated untorn
writes.
It is the responsibility of the FS to detect discontiguous atomic writes
and switch to IOMAP_DIO_ATOMIC_SW mode and retry the write. Indeed,
SW-based atomic writes could be used always when the mounted bdev does
not support HW offload, but this strategy is not initially expected to be
used.

Modify the buffered write path to advance the iter directly. Replace
the local pos and length calculations with direct advances and loop
based on iter state instead.
Also remove the -EAGAIN return hack as it is no longer necessary now
that separate return channels exist for processing progress and error
returns. For example, the existing write handler must return either a
count of bytes written or error if the write is interrupted, but
presumably wants to return -EAGAIN directly in order to break the higher
level iomap_iter() loop.
Since the current iteration may have made some progress, it unwinds the
iter on the way out to return the error while ensuring that portion of
the write can be retried. If -EAGAIN occurs at any point beyond the
first iteration, iomap_file_buffered_write() will then observe progress
based on iter->pos to return a short write.
With incremental advances on the iomap_iter, iomap_write_iter() can
simply return the error. iomap_iter() completes whatever progress was
made based on iomap_iter position and still breaks out of the iter loop
based on the error code in iter.processed. The end result of the write
is similar in terms of being a short write if progress was made or error
return otherwise.

The current iomap_iter iteration model reads the mapping from the
filesystem, processes the subrange of the operation associated with
the current mapping, and returns the number of bytes processed back
to the iteration code. The latter advances the position and
remaining length of the iter in preparation for the next iteration.
At the _iter() handler level, this tends to produce a processing
loop where the local code pulls the current position and remaining
length out of the iter, iterates it locally based on file offset,
and then breaks out when the associated range has been fully
processed.
This works well enough for current handlers, but upcoming
enhancements require a bit more flexibility in certain situations.
Enhancements for zero range will lead to a situation where the
processing loop is no longer a pure ascending offset walk, but
rather dictated by pagecache state and folio lookup. Since folio
lookup and write preparation occur at different levels, it is more
difficult to manage position and length outside of the iter.
To provide more flexibility to certain iomap operations, introduce
support for incremental iomap_iter advances from within the
operation itself. This allows more granular advances for operations
that might not use the typical file offset based walk.
Note that the semantics for operations that use incremental advances
is slightly different than traditional operations. Operations that
advance the iter directly are expected to return success or failure
(i.e. 0 or negative error code) in iter.processed rather than the
number of bytes processed.

The iter termination logic in iomap_iter_advance() is only needed by
iomap_iter() to determine whether to proceed with the next mapping
for an ongoing operation. The old logic sets ret to 1 and then
terminates if the operation is complete (iter->len == 0) or the
previous iteration performed no work and the mapping has not been
marked stale. The stale check exists to allow operations to
retry the current mapping if an inconsistency has been detected.
To further genericize iomap_iter_advance(), lift the termination
logic into iomap_iter() and update the former to return success (0)
or an error code. iomap_iter() continues on successful advance and
non-zero iter->len or otherwise terminates in the no progress (and
not stale) or error cases.

implement it to submit the bio. This is needed for file systems that
do their own work on the bios before submitting them to the block layer
like btrfs or zoned xfs. To make this easier also pass the writeback
context to the method.

indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.
- "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes the
page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and free
zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a refcount
inc & dec.
- "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to use
large folios other than PMD-sized ones.
- "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance and
fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest.
- "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part of
the mapletree code.
- "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
few minor code cleanups.
- "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and a
test for the mapletree code.
- "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes
continues the work of moving vma-related code into the (relatively) new
mm/vma.c.
- "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the page
allocator.
- "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue. It
should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading.
- "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
accumulated
(https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/).
Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE memory
within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).
- "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests code
when optional compiler warnings are enabled.
- "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from David
Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of __GFP_HARDWALL.
- "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements various
fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly pertaining to the
pkeys tests.
- "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
estimate application working set size.
- "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic.
- "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a tmpfs-based
kernel build was demonstrated.
- "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of zram_write_page().
A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated.
- "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin Brodsky
cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
use-after-free race is fixed.
- "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging logic.
- "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up and
regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
improvements in accounting accuracy.
- "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new core
functions" from SeongJae Park cleans up and generalizes DAMON's sysfs
file interface logic.
- "mm/damon: enable page level properties based monitoring" from
SeongJae Park increases the amount of information which is presented in
response to DAMOS actions.
- "mm/damon: remove DAMON debugfs interface" from SeongJae Park removes
DAMON's long-deprecated debugfs interfaces. Thus the migration to sysfs
is completed.
- "mm/hugetlb: Refactor hugetlb allocation resv accounting" from Peter
Xu cleans up and generalizes the hugetlb reservation accounting.
- "mm: alloc_pages_bulk: small API refactor" from Luiz Capitulino
removes a never-used feature of the alloc_pages_bulk() interface.
- "mm/damon: extend DAMOS filters for inclusion" from SeongJae Park
extends DAMOS filters to support not only exclusion (rejecting), but
also inclusion (allowing) behavior.
- "Add zpdesc memory descriptor for zswap.zpool" from Alex Shi
"introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to reduce
the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of memory
descriptors."
- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes and
simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel build
time with swap-on-zram.
- "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region() internal" from
Lorenzo Stoakes reworks MIPS's use of mmap_region() so that
mmap_region() can be made MM-internal.
- "mm/mglru: performance optimizations" from Yu Zhao fixes a few MGLRU
regressions and otherwise improves MGLRU performance.
- "Docs/mm/damon: add tuning guide and misc updates" from SeongJae Park
updates DAMON documentation.
- "Cleanup for memfd_create()" from Isaac Manjarres does that thing.
- "mm: hugetlb+THP folio and migration cleanups" from David Hildenbrand
provides various cleanups in the areas of hugetlb folios, THP folios and
migration.
- "Uncached buffered IO" from Jens Axboe implements the new
RWF_DONTCACHE flag which provides synchronous dropbehind for pagecache
reading and writing. To permite userspace to address issues with
massive buildup of useless pagecache when reading/writing fast devices.
- "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory" from Thomas
Weißschuh fixes and optimizes some of the MM selftests.
