The linux-next integration testing tree
6309b8ce98
When block_invalidatepage was converted to block_invalidate_folio, the
fallback to block_invalidatepage in folio_invalidate() if the
address_space_operations method invalidatepage (currently
invalidate_folio) was not set, was removed.
Unfortunately, some pseudo-inodes in nilfs2 use empty_aops set by
inode_init_always_gfp() as is, or explicitly set it to
address_space_operations. Therefore, with this change,
block_invalidatepage() is no longer called from folio_invalidate(), and as
a result, the buffer_head structures attached to these pages/folios are no
longer freed via try_to_free_buffers().
Thus, these buffer heads are now leaked by truncate_inode_pages(), which
cleans up the page cache from inode evict(), etc.
Three types of caches use empty_aops: gc inode caches and the DAT shadow
inode used by GC, and b-tree node caches. Of these, b-tree node caches
explicitly call invalidate_mapping_pages() during cleanup, which involves
calling try_to_free_buffers(), so the leak was not visible during normal
operation but worsened when GC was performed.
Fix this issue by using address_space_operations with invalidate_folio set
to block_invalidate_folio instead of empty_aops, which will ensure the
same behavior as before.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
