Merge tag 'vfs-6.12.netfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull netfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to improve read/write performance for the new
netfs library.
The main performance enhancing changes are:
- Define a structure, struct folio_queue, and a new iterator type,
ITER_FOLIOQ, to hold a buffer as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. See
that patch for questions about naming and form.
ITER_FOLIOQ is provided as a replacement for ITER_XARRAY. The
problem with an xarray is that accessing it requires the use of a
lock (typically the RCU read lock) - and this means that we can't
supply iterate_and_advance() with a step function that might sleep
(crypto for example) without having to drop the lock between pages.
ITER_FOLIOQ is the iterator for a chain of folio_queue structs,
where each folio_queue holds a small list of folios. A folio_queue
struct is a simpler structure than xarray and is not subject to
concurrent manipulation by the VM. folio_queue is used rather than
a bvec[] as it can form lists of indefinite size, adding to one end
and removing from the other on the fly.
- Provide a copy_folio_from_iter() wrapper.
- Make cifs RDMA support ITER_FOLIOQ.
- Use folio queues in the write-side helpers instead of xarrays.
- Add a function to reset the iterator in a subrequest.
- Simplify the write-side helpers to use sheaves to skip gaps rather
than trying to work out where gaps are.
- In afs, make the read subrequests asynchronous, putting them into
work items to allow the next patch to do progressive
unlocking/reading.
- Overhaul the read-side helpers to improve performance.
- Fix the caching of a partial block at the end of a file.
- Allow a store to be cancelled.
Then some changes for cifs to make it use folio queues instead of
xarrays for crypto bufferage:
- Use raw iteration functions rather than manually coding iteration
when hashing data.
- Switch to using folio_queue for crypto buffers.
- Remove the xarray bits.
Make some adjustments to the /proc/fs/netfs/stats file such that:
- All the netfs stats lines begin 'Netfs:' but change this to
something a bit more useful.
- Add a couple of stats counters to track the numbers of skips and
waits on the per-inode writeback serialisation lock to make it
easier to check for this as a source of performance loss.
Miscellaneous work:
- Ensure that the sb_writers lock is taken around
vfs_{set,remove}xattr() in the cachefiles code.
- Reduce the number of conditional branches in netfs_perform_write().
- Move the CIFS_INO_MODIFIED_ATTR flag to the netfs_inode struct and
remove cifs_post_modify().
- Move the max_len/max_nr_segs members from netfs_io_subrequest to
netfs_io_request as they're only needed for one subreq at a time.
- Add an 'unknown' source value for tracing purposes.
- Remove NETFS_COPY_TO_CACHE as it's no longer used.
- Set the request work function up front at allocation time.
- Use bh-disabling spinlocks for rreq->lock as cachefiles completion
may be run from block-filesystem DIO completion in softirq context.
- Remove fs/netfs/io.c"
