Changing a page's memcg association complicates dealing with the page,
so we want to limit this as much as possible. Page migration e.g. does
not have to do that. Just like page cache replacement, it can forcibly
charge a replacement page, and then uncharge the old page when it gets
freed. Temporarily overcharging the cgroup by a single page is not an
issue in practice, and charging is so cheap nowadays that this is much
preferrable to the headache of messing with live pages.
The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup. But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()). That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked. Lighter
unlocked paths, like writeback accounting, can use lock_page_memcg().

These patches tag the page cache radix tree eviction entries with the
memcg an evicted page belonged to, thus making per-cgroup LRU reclaim
work properly and be as adaptive to new cache workingsets as global
reclaim already is.
This should have been part of the original thrash detection patch
series, but was deferred due to the complexity of those patches.
This patch (of 5):
So far the only sites that needed to exclude charge migration to
stabilize page->mem_cgroup have been per-cgroup page statistics, hence
the name mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(). But per-cgroup thrash detection
will add another site that needs to ensure page->mem_cgroup lifetime.
Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg(). Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,
we might be able to delete it at some point, and these now easy to
identify locking sites along with it.

In the generic read paths the kernel looks up a page in the page cache
and if it's up to date, it is used. If not, the page lock is acquired
to wait for IO to complete and then check the page. If multiple
processes are waiting on IO, they all serialise against the lock and
duplicate the checks. This is unnecessary.
The page lock in itself does not give any guarantees to the callers
about the page state as it can be immediately truncated or reclaimed
after the page is unlocked. It's sufficient to wait_on_page_locked and
then continue if the page is up to date on wakeup.
It is possible that a truncated but up-to-date page is returned but the
reference taken during read prevents it disappearing underneath the
caller and the data is still valid if PageUptodate.
The overall impact is small as even if processes serialise on the lock,
the lock section is tiny once the IO is complete. Profiles indicated
that unlock_page and friends are generally a tiny portion of a
read-intensive workload. An artificial test was created that had
instances of dd access a cache-cold file on an ext4 filesystem and
measure how long the read took.

Commit e1534ae950 ("mm: differentiate page_mapped() from
page_mapcount() for compound pages") changed the famous
BUG_ON(page_mapped(page)) in __delete_from_page_cache() to
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapped(page)): which gives us more info when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, but nothing at all when not.
Although it has not usually been very helpul, being hit long after the
error in question, we do need to know if it actually happens on users'
systems; but reinstating a crash there is likely to be opposed :)
In the non-debug case, pr_alert("BUG: Bad page cache") plus dump_page(),
dump_stack(), add_taint() - I don't really believe LOCKDEP_NOW_UNRELIABLE,
but that seems to be the standard procedure now. Move that, or the
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), up before the deletion from tree: so that the
unNULLified page->mapping gives a little more information.
If the inode is being evicted (rather than truncated), it won't have any
vmas left, so it's safe(ish) to assume that the raised mapcount is
erroneous, and we can discount it from page_count to avoid leaking the
page (I'm less worried by leaking the occasional 4kB, than losing a
potential 2MB page with each 4kB page leaked).

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().
dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev. This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.
Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device. This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

To properly handle fsync/msync in an efficient way DAX needs to track
dirty pages so it is able to flush them durably to media on demand.
The tracking of dirty pages is done via the radix tree in struct
address_space. This radix tree is already used by the page writeback
infrastructure for tracking dirty pages associated with an open file,
and it already has support for exceptional (non struct page*) entries.
We build upon these features to add exceptional entries to the radix
tree for DAX dirty PMD or PTE pages at fault time.

Add support for tracking dirty DAX entries in the struct address_space
radix tree. This tree is already used for dirty page writeback, and it
already supports the use of exceptional (non struct page*) entries.
In order to properly track dirty DAX pages we will insert new
exceptional entries into the radix tree that represent dirty DAX PTE or
PMD pages. These exceptional entries will also contain the writeback
addresses for the PTE or PMD faults that we can use at fsync/msync time.
There are currently two types of exceptional entries (shmem and shadow)
that can be placed into the radix tree, and this adds a third. We rely
on the fact that only one type of exceptional entry can be found in a
given radix tree based on its usage. This happens for free with DAX vs
shmem but we explicitly prevent shadow entries from being added to radix
trees for DAX mappings.
The only shadow entries that would be generated for DAX radix trees
would be to track zero page mappings that were created for holes. These
pages would receive minimal benefit from having shadow entries, and the
choice to have only one type of exceptional entry in a given radix tree
makes the logic simpler both in clear_exceptional_entry() and in the
rest of DAX.

This will make cases like page_get_anon_vma() behave correctly once we

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need
to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.
We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.
The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This
should be good enough.

__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with

page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to
allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the
base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to
GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called
from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault.
This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally.
ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem
to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic
implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the
reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch
hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim.
There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation
context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection
might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations
rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited
reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer
might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure
is propagated up the page fault path and end up in
pagefault_out_of_memory.
We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy
wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who
really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also
inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do
instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer
to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different
allocation context.
Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO)
because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do
we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold
only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and
movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have
to respect those.

filemap_fdatawait() is a function to wait for on-going writeback to
complete but also consume and clear error status of the mapping set during
writeback.
The latter functionality is critical for applications to detect writeback
error with system calls like fsync(2)/fdatasync(2).
However filemap_fdatawait() is also used by sync(2) or FIFREEZE ioctl,
which don't check error status of individual mappings.
As a result, fsync() may not be able to detect writeback error if events
happen in the following order:
Application System admin
----------------------------------------------------------
write data on page cache
Run sync command
writeback completes with error
filemap_fdatawait() clears error
fsync returns success
(but the data is not on disk)
This patch adds filemap_fdatawait_keep_errors() for call sites where
writeback error is not handled so that they don't clear error status.

Maximal readahead size is limited now by two values:
1) by global 2Mb constant (MAX_READAHEAD in max_sane_readahead())
2) by configurable per-device value* (bdi->ra_pages)
There are devices, which require custom readahead limit.
For instance, for RAIDs it's calculated as number of devices
multiplied by chunk size times 2.
Readahead size can never be larger than bdi->ra_pages * 2 value
(POSIX_FADV_SEQUNTIAL doubles readahead size).
If so, why do we need two limits?
I suggest to completely remove this max_sane_readahead() stuff and
use per-device readahead limit everywhere.
Also, using right readahead size for RAID disks can significantly
increase i/o performance:

Currently a simple program below issues a sendfile(2) system call which
takes about 62 days to complete in my test KVM instance.
int fd;
off_t off = 0;
fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_TRUNC | O_SYNC | O_CREAT, 0644);
ftruncate(fd, 2);
lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_END);
sendfile(fd, fd, &off, 0xfffffff);
Now you should not ask kernel to do a stupid stuff like copying 256MB in
2-byte chunks and call fsync(2) after each chunk but if you do, sysadmin
should have a way to stop you.
We actually do have a check for fatal_signal_pending() in
generic_perform_write() which triggers in this path however because we
always succeed in writing something before the check is done, we return
value > 0 from generic_perform_write() and thus the information about
signal gets lost.
Fix the problem by doing the signal check before writing anything. That
way generic_perform_write() returns -EINTR, the error gets propagated up
and the sendfile loop terminates early.

This reverts commit 998ef75ddb.
The commit itself does not appear to be buggy per se, but it is exposing
a bug in ext4 (and Ted thinks ext3 too, but we solved that by getting
rid of it). It's too late in the release cycle to really worry about
this, even if Dave Hansen has a patch that may actually fix the
underlying ext4 problem. We can (and should) revisit this for the next
release.
The problem is that moving the prefaulting later now exposes a special
case with partially successful writes that isn't handled correctly. And
the prefaulting likely isn't normally even that much of a performance
issue - it looks like at least one reason Dave saw this in his
performance tests is that he also ran them on Skylake that now supports
the new SMAP code, which makes the normally very cheap user space
prefaulting noticeably more expensive.

alloc_pages_exact_node() was introduced in commit 6484eb3e2a ("page
allocator: do not check NUMA node ID when the caller knows the node is
valid") as an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node(), that doesn't
fallback to current node for nid == NUMA_NO_NODE. Unfortunately the
name of the function can easily suggest that the allocation is
restricted to the given node and fails otherwise. In truth, the node is
only preferred, unless __GFP_THISNODE is passed among the gfp flags.
The misleading name has lead to mistakes in the past, see for example
commits 5265047ac3 ("mm, thp: really limit transparent hugepage
allocation to local node") and b360edb43f ("mm, mempolicy:
migrate_to_node should only migrate to node").
Another issue with the name is that there's a family of
alloc_pages_exact*() functions where 'exact' means exact size (instead
of page order), which leads to more confusion.
To prevent further mistakes, this patch effectively renames
alloc_pages_exact_node() to __alloc_pages_node() to better convey that
it's an optimized variant of alloc_pages_node() not intended for general
usage. Both functions get described in comments.
It has been also considered to really provide a convenience function for
allocations restricted to a node, but the major opinion seems to be that
__GFP_THISNODE already provides that functionality and we shouldn't
duplicate the API needlessly. The number of users would be small
anyway.
Existing callers of alloc_pages_exact_node() are simply converted to
call __alloc_pages_node(), with the exception of sba_alloc_coherent()
which open-codes the check for NUMA_NO_NODE, so it is converted to use
alloc_pages_node() instead. This means it no longer performs some
VM_BUG_ON checks, and since the current check for nid in
alloc_pages_node() uses a 'nid < 0' comparison (which includes
NUMA_NO_NODE), it may hide wrong values which would be previously
exposed.
Both differences will be rectified by the next patch.
To sum up, this patch makes no functional changes, except temporarily
hiding potentially buggy callers. Restricting the checks in
alloc_pages_node() is left for the next patch which can in turn expose
more existing buggy callers.

=== Short summary ====
iov_iter_fault_in_readable() works around a really rare case and we can
avoid the deadlock it addresses in another way: disable page faults and
work around copy failures by faulting after the copy in a slow path
instead of before in a hot one.
I have a little microbenchmark that does repeated, small writes to tmpfs.
This patch speeds that micro up by 6.2%.
=== Long version ===
When doing a sys_write() we have a source buffer in userspace and then a
target file page.
If both of those are the same physical page, there is a potential deadlock
that we avoid. It would happen something like this:
1. We start the write to the file
2. Allocate page cache page and set it !Uptodate
3. Touch the userspace buffer to copy in the user data
4. Page fault (since source of the write not yet mapped)
5. Page fault code tries to lock the page and deadlocks
(more details on this below)
To avoid this, we prefault the page to guarantee that this fault does not
occur. But, this prefault comes at a cost. It is one of the most
expensive things that we do in a hot write() path (especially if we
compare it to the read path). It is working around a pretty rare case.
To fix this, it's pretty simple. We move the "prefault" code to run after
we attempt the copy. We explicitly disable page faults _during_ the copy,
detect the copy failure, then execute the "prefault" ouside of where the
page lock needs to be held.
iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic() actually already has an implicit
pagefault_disable() inside of it (at least on x86), but we add an explicit
one. I don't think we can depend on every kmap_atomic() implementation to
pagefault_disable() for eternity.
===================================================
The stack trace when this happens looks like this:

__lock_page_or_retry+0x84/0xa0
filemap_fault+0x1ed/0x3d0

vfs_write+0xa6/0x1a0
SyS_write+0x46/0xa0
entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6a
0xffffffffffffffff
(Note, this does *NOT* happen in practice today because
the kmap_atomic() does a pagefault_disable(). The trace
above was obtained by taking out the pagefault_disable().)
You can trigger the deadlock with this little code snippet:
fd = open("foo", O_RDWR);
fdmap = mmap(NULL, len, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
write(fd, &fdmap[0], 1);

This doesn't seem to be the case now because page_cache_read (page fault
path) doesn't seem to suffer from the reclaim recursion issues and
do_generic_file_read and __generic_file_splice_read also shouldn't be
called under fs locks which would deadlock in the reclaim path. Anyway it
is better to obey mapping gfp mask and prevent from later breakage.

hugetlb pages uses add_to_page_cache to track shared mappings. This is
OK from the data structure point of view but it is less so from the
NR_FILE_PAGES accounting:
- huge pages are accounted as 4k which is clearly wrong
- this counter is used as the amount of the reclaimable page
cache which is incorrect as well because hugetlb pages are
special and not reclaimable
- the counter is then exported to userspace via /proc/meminfo
(in Cached:), /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo as
nr_file_pages which is confusing at least:
Cached: 8883504 kB
HugePages_Free: 8348
...
Cached: 8916048 kB
HugePages_Free: 156
...
thats 8192 huge pages allocated which is ~16G accounted as 32M
There are usually not that many huge pages in the system for this to
make any visible difference e.g. by fooling __vm_enough_memory or
zone_pagecache_reclaimable.
Fix this by special casing huge pages in both __delete_from_page_cache
and __add_to_page_cache_locked. replace_page_cache_page is currently
only used by fuse and that shouldn't touch hugetlb pages AFAICS but it
is more robust to check for special casing there as well.
Hugetlb pages shouldn't get to any other paths where we do accounting:
- migration - we have a special handling via
hugetlbfs_migrate_page
- shmem - doesn't handle hugetlb pages directly even for
SHM_HUGETLB resp. MAP_HUGETLB
- swapcache - hugetlb is not swapable
This has a user visible effect but I believe it is reasonable because the
previously exported number is simply bogus.
An alternative would be to account hugetlb pages with their real size and
treat them similar to shmem. But this has some drawbacks.
First we would have to special case in kernel users of NR_FILE_PAGES and
considering how hugetlb is special we would have to do it everywhere. We
do not want Cached exported by /proc/meminfo to include it because the
value would be even more misleading.
__vm_enough_memory and zone_pagecache_reclaimable would have to do the
same thing because those pages are simply not reclaimable. The correction
is even not trivial because we would have to consider all active hugetlb
page sizes properly. Users of the counter outside of the kernel would
have to do the same.
So the question is why to account something that needs to be basically
excluded for each reasonable usage. This doesn't make much sense to me.
It seems that this has been broken since hugetlb was introduced but I
haven't checked the whole history.

The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.
This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.
The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.
This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.
In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.
v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.
v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
Function names and comments updated accordingly.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.
This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed.
wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.
As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.
v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is
writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
actual writing to the usual writeback path.

When modifying PG_Dirty on cached file pages, update the new
MEM_CGROUP_STAT_DIRTY counter. This is done in the same places where
global NR_FILE_DIRTY is managed. The new memcg stat is visible in the
per memcg memory.stat cgroupfs file. The most recent past attempt at
this was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/8632
The new accounting supports future efforts to add per cgroup dirty
page throttling and writeback. It also helps an administrator break
down a container's memory usage and provides evidence to understand
memcg oom kills (the new dirty count is included in memcg oom kill
messages).
The ability to move page accounting between memcg
(memory.move_charge_at_immigrate) makes this accounting more
complicated than the global counter. The existing
mem_cgroup_{begin,end}_page_stat() lock is used to serialize move
accounting with stat updates.
Typical update operation:
memcg = mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat(page)
if (TestSetPageDirty()) {
[...]
mem_cgroup_update_page_stat(memcg)
}
mem_cgroup_end_page_stat(memcg)
Summary of mem_cgroup_end_page_stat() overhead:
- Without CONFIG_MEMCG it's a no-op
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and no inter memcg task movement, it's just
rcu_read_lock()
- With CONFIG_MEMCG and inter memcg task movement, it's
rcu_read_lock() + spin_lock_irqsave()
A memcg parameter is added to several routines because their callers
now grab mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() which returns the memcg later
needed by for mem_cgroup_update_page_stat().
Because mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() may disable interrupts, some
adjustments are needed:
- move __mark_inode_dirty() from __set_page_dirty() to its caller.
__mark_inode_dirty() locking does not want interrupts disabled.
- use spin_lock_irqsave(tree_lock) rather than spin_lock_irq() in
__delete_from_page_cache(), replace_page_cache_page(),
invalidate_complete_page2(), and __remove_mapping().

This patch replaces cancel_dirty_page() with a helper function
account_page_cleaned() which only updates counters. It's called from
truncate_complete_page() and from try_to_free_buffers() (hack for ext3).
Page is locked in both cases, page-lock protects against concurrent
dirtiers: see commit 2d6d7f9828 ("mm: protect set_page_dirty() from
ongoing truncation").
Delete_from_page_cache() shouldn't be called for dirty pages, they must
be handled by caller (either written or truncated). This patch treats
final dirty accounting fixup at the end of __delete_from_page_cache() as
a debug check and adds WARN_ON_ONCE() around it. If something removes
dirty pages without proper handling that might be a bug and unwritten
data might be lost.
Hugetlbfs has no dirty pages accounting, ClearPageDirty() is enough
here.
cancel_dirty_page() in nfs_wb_page_cancel() is redundant. This is
helper for nfs_invalidate_page() and it's called only in case complete
invalidation.
The mess was started in v2.6.20 after commits 46d2277c79 ("Clean up
and make try_to_free_buffers() not race with dirty pages") and
3e67c0987d ("truncate: clear page dirtiness before running
try_to_free_buffers()") first was reverted right in v2.6.20 in commit
ecdfc9787f ("Resurrect 'try_to_free_buffers()' VM hackery"), second in
v2.6.25 commit a2b345642f ("Fix dirty page accounting leak with ext3
data=journal").
Custom fixes were introduced between these points. NFS in v2.6.23, commit
1b3b4a1a2d ("NFS: Fix a write request leak in nfs_invalidate_page()").
Kludge in __delete_from_page_cache() in v2.6.24, commit 3a6927906f ("Do
dirty page accounting when removing a page from the page cache"). Since
v2.6.25 all of them are redundant.

Conflicts:
fs/ext4/file.c
A side effect worth noting: in O_APPEND case we set ->ki_pos early,
so if it turns out to be an error or a zero-length write, we'll
end up with ->ki_pos modified. Safe, since all callers never
look at the ->ki_pos after the call of __generic_file_write_iter()
returning non-positive, all the way to caller of ->write_iter() and
those discard ->ki_pos when getting that.

Use the generic AIO infrastructure instead of custom read and write

Use an inode flag to tag inodes which should avoid using the page cache.
Convert ext2 to use it instead of mapping_is_xip(). Prevent I/Os to files
tagged with the DAX flag from falling back to buffered I/O.

Pull backing device changes from Jens Axboe:
"This contains a cleanup of how the backing device is handled, in
preparation for a rework of the life time rules. In this part, the
most important change is to split the unrelated nommu mmap flags from
it, but also removing a backing_dev_info pointer from the
address_space (and inode), and a cleanup of other various minor bits.
Christoph did all the work here, I just fixed an oops with pages that
have a swap backing. Arnd fixed a missing export, and Oleg killed the
lustre backing_dev_info from staging. Last patch was from Al,
unexporting parts that are now no longer needed outside"
* 'for-3.20/bdi' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
Make super_blocks and sb_lock static
mtd: export new mtd_mmap_capabilities
fs: make inode_to_bdi() handle NULL inode
staging/lustre/llite: get rid of backing_dev_info
fs: remove default_backing_dev_info
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
nfs: don't call bdi_unregister
ceph: remove call to bdi_unregister
fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info
fs: export inode_to_bdi and use it in favor of mapping->backing_dev_info
nilfs2: set up s_bdi like the generic mount_bdev code
block_dev: get bdev inode bdi directly from the block device
block_dev: only write bdev inode on close
fs: introduce f_op->mmap_capabilities for nommu mmap support
fs: kill BDI_CAP_SWAP_BACKED
fs: deduplicate noop_backing_dev_info
Now that we got rid of the bdi abuse on character devices we can always use
sb->s_bdi to get at the backing_dev_info for a file, except for the block
device special case. Export inode_to_bdi and replace uses of
mapping->backing_dev_info with it to prepare for the removal of
mapping->backing_dev_info.

Commit 2457aec637 ("mm: non-atomically mark page accessed during page
cache allocation where possible") has added a separate parameter for
specifying gfp mask for radix tree allocations.
Not only this is less than optimal from the API point of view because it
is error prone, it is also buggy currently because
grab_cache_page_write_begin is using GFP_KERNEL for radix tree and if
fgp_flags doesn't contain FGP_NOFS (mostly controlled by fs by
AOP_FLAG_NOFS flag) but the mapping_gfp_mask has __GFP_FS cleared then
the radix tree allocation wouldn't obey the restriction and might
recurse into filesystem and cause deadlocks. This is the case for most
filesystems unfortunately because only ext4 and gfs2 are using
AOP_FLAG_NOFS.
Let's simply remove radix_gfp_mask parameter because the allocation
context is same for both page cache and for the radix tree. Just make
sure that the radix tree gets only the sane subset of the mask (e.g. do
not pass __GFP_WRITE).
Long term it is more preferable to convert remaining users of
AOP_FLAG_NOFS to use mapping_gfp_mask instead and simplify this
interface even further.
