2022-08-28writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing deviceKhazhismel Kumykov1-1/+5
When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However, wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the just freed bdi_writeback. Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when scheduling writeback work. Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

2022-07-24mm: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() functionJan Kara1-10/+41
This adds the helper function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags(). It adds the parameter flags to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited(). The flags parameter is passed to balance_dirty_pages(). For async buffered writes the flag value will be BDP_ASYNC. If balance_dirty_pages() gets called for async buffered write, we don't want to wait. Instead we need to indicate to the caller that throttling is needed so that it can stop writing and offload the rest of the write to a context that can block. The new helper function is also used by balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().

2022-07-24mm: Move updates of dirty_exceeded into one placeJan Kara1-5/+2
Transition of wb->dirty_exceeded from 0 to 1 happens before we go to sleep in balance_dirty_pages() while transition from 1 to 0 happens when exiting from balance_dirty_pages(), possibly based on old values. This does not make a lot of sense since wb->dirty_exceeded should simply reflect whether wb is over dirty limit and so we should ratelimit entering to balance_dirty_pages() less. Move the two updates together.

We start background writeback if we are over background threshold after exiting the main loop in balance_dirty_pages().

filemap_unaccount_folio() has a WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_dirty(folio)). It is good to warn of late dirtying on a persistent filesystem, but late dirtying on tmpfs can only lose data which is expected to be thrown away; and it's a pity if that warning comes ONCE on tmpfs, then hides others which really matter. Make it conditional on mapping_cap_writeback(). Cleanup: then folio_account_cleaned() no longer needs to check that for itself, and so no longer needs to know the mapping.

2021-11-06mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttleMel Gorman1-1/+1
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else. This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of the same thin air but better values may be derived Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout. Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

2021-11-06mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestionMel Gorman1-2/+9
do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the congestion state is not updated for all BDIs. This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but that is still better than congestion_wait.

2021-09-03writeback: use READ_ONCE for unlocked reads of writeback statsJan Kara1-12/+13
We do some unlocked reads of writeback statistics like avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, or bw_time_stamp. Generally we are fine with getting somewhat out-of-date values but actually getting different values in various parts of the functions because the compiler decided to reload value from original memory location could confuse calculations. Use READ_ONCE for these unlocked accesses and WRITE_ONCE for the updates to be on the safe side.

2021-09-03writeback: fix bandwidth estimate for spiky workloadJan Kara1-14/+25
Michael Stapelberg has reported that for workload with short big spikes of writes (GCC linker seem to trigger this frequently) the write throughput is heavily underestimated and tends to steadily sink until it reaches zero. This has rather bad impact on writeback throttling (causing stalls). The problem is that writeback throughput estimate gets updated at most once per 200 ms. One update happens early after we submit pages for writeback (at that point writeout of only small fraction of pages is completed and thus observed throughput is tiny). Next update happens only during the next write spike (updates happen only from inode writeback and dirty throttling code) and if that is more than 1s after previous spike, we decide system was idle and just ignore whatever was written until this moment. Fix the problem by making sure writeback throughput estimate is also updated shortly after writeback completes to get reasonable estimate of throughput for spiky workloads.

2021-09-03writeback: track number of inodes under writebackJan Kara1-2/+20
Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4. Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g. generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as a result writeback on the device is practically stalled. The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code. This patch (of 4): Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure. We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too expensive.
