allocation to be GFP_NOFS"):
In gfs2_unstuff_dinode(), there is no need to carry out the page cache
allocation under GFP_NOFS because inodes on the "regular" filesystem are
never un-inlined under memory pressure, so switch back from
find_or_create_page() to grab_cache_page() here as well.
Inodes on the "metadata" filesystem can theoretically be un-inlined
under memory pressure, but any page cache allocations in that context
would happen in GFP_NOFS context because those inodes have
inode->i_mapping->gfp_mask set to GFP_NOFS (see the previous patch).

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
"We've got some big changes for this release -- I'm very happy to be
landing willy's work to enable large folios for the page cache for
general read and write IOs when the fs can make contiguous space
allocations, and Ritesh's work to track sub-folio dirty state to
eliminate the write amplification problems inherent in using large
folios.
As a bonus, io_uring can now process write completions in the caller's
context instead of bouncing through a workqueue, which should reduce
io latency dramatically. IOWs, XFS should see a nice performance bump
for both IO paths.
Summary:
- Make large writes to the page cache fill sparse parts of the cache
with large folios, then use large memcpy calls for the large folio.
- Track the per-block dirty state of each large folio so that a
buffered write to a single byte on a large folio does not result in
a (potentially) multi-megabyte writeback IO.
- Allow some directio completions to be performed in the initiating
task's context instead of punting through a workqueue. This will

When an iomap defines a ->page_done() handler in its page_ops, delegate
unlocking the folio and putting the folio reference to that handler.
This allows to fix a race between journaled data writes and folio
writeback in gfs2: before this change, gfs2_iomap_page_done() was called
after unlocking the folio, so writeback could start writing back the
folio's buffers before they could be marked for writing to the journal.
Also, try_to_free_buffers() could free the buffers before
gfs2_iomap_page_done() was done adding the buffers to the current
current transaction. With this change, gfs2_iomap_page_done() adds the
buffers to the current transaction while the folio is still locked, so
the problems described above can no longer occur.
The only current user of ->page_done() is gfs2, so other filesystems are
not affected. To catch out any out-of-tree users, switch from a page to
a folio in ->page_done().

To compute the end of the allocation, gfs2_iomap_end() incorrectly

When gfs2_setattr_size() fails, it calls gfs2_rs_delete(ip, NULL) to get
rid of any reservations the inode may have. Instead, it should pass in
the inode's write count as the second parameter to allow
gfs2_rs_delete() to figure out if the inode has any writers left.
In a next step, there are two instances of gfs2_rs_delete(ip, NULL) left
where we know that there can be no other users of the inode. Replace
those with gfs2_rs_deltree(&ip->i_res) to avoid the unnecessary write
count check.
With that, gfs2_rs_delete() is only called with the inode's actual write
count, so get rid of the second parameter.

So far, for buffered writes, we were taking the inode glock in
gfs2_iomap_begin and dropping it in gfs2_iomap_end with the intention of
not holding the inode glock while iomap_write_actor faults in user
pages. It turns out that iomap_write_actor is called inside iomap_begin
... iomap_end, so the user pages were still faulted in while holding the
inode glock and the locking code in iomap_begin / iomap_end was
completely pointless.
Move the locking into gfs2_file_buffered_write instead. We'll take care
of the potential deadlocks due to faulting in user pages while holding a
glock in a subsequent patch.

GFS2 uses struct gfs2_rbm to represent a filesystem block number as a
bit position within a resource group. This representation is used in
the bitmap manipulation code to prevent excessive conversions between
block numbers and bit positions, but also in struct gfs2_blkreserv which
is part of struct gfs2_inode, to mark the start of a reservation. In
the inode, the bit position representation makes less sense: first, the
start position is used as a block number about as often as a bit
position; second, the bit position representation makes the code
unnecessarily complicated and difficult to read.
Therefore, change struct gfs2_blkreserv to represent the start of a
reservation as a block number instead of a bit position. (This requires
keeping track of the resource group in gfs2_blkreserv separately.) With
that change, various things can be slightly simplified, and struct
gfs2_rbm can be moved to rgrp.c.

This reverts commit b2a846dbef.
That commit changed the behavior of function gfs2_block_map to return
-ENODATA in cases where a hole (IOMAP_HOLE) is encountered and create is
false. While that fixed the intended problem for jdata, it also broke
other callers of gfs2_block_map such as some jdata block reads. Before
the patch, an encountered hole would be skipped and the buffer seen as
unmapped by the caller. The patch changed the behavior to return
-ENODATA, which is interpreted as an error by the caller.
The -ENODATA return code should be restricted to the specific case where
jdata holes are encountered during ail1 writes. That will be done in a
later patch.

When flushing out its ail1 list, gfs2_write_jdata_page calls function
__block_write_full_page passing in function gfs2_get_block_noalloc.
But there was a problem when a process wrote to a jdata file, then
truncated it or punched a hole, leaving references to the blocks within
the new hole in its ail list, which are to be written to the journal log.
In writing them to the journal, after calling gfs2_block_map, function
gfs2_get_block_noalloc determined that the (hole-punched) block was not
mapped, so it returned -EIO to generic_writepages, which passed it back
to gfs2_ail1_start_one. This, in turn, performed a withdraw, assuming
there was a real IO error writing to the journal.
This might be a valid error when writing metadata to the journal, but for
journaled data writes, it does not warrant a withdraw.
This patch adds a check to function gfs2_block_map that makes an exception
for journaled data writes that correspond to jdata holes: If the iomap
get function returns a block type of IOMAP_HOLE, it instead returns
-ENODATA which does not cause the withdraw. Other errors are returned as
before.

Before this patch, some functions started transactions then they called
gfs2_block_zero_range. However, gfs2_block_zero_range, like writes, can
start transactions, which results in a recursive transaction error.
For example:
do_shrink
trunc_start
gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------------------------------
gfs2_block_zero_range
iomap_zero_range(inode, from, length, NULL, &gfs2_iomap_ops);

iomap_begin
gfs2_iomap_begin
gfs2_iomap_begin_write
actor (iomap_zero_range_actor)
iomap_zero
iomap_write_begin
gfs2_iomap_page_prepare
gfs2_trans_begin <------------------------
This patch reorders the callers of gfs2_block_zero_range so that they
only start their transactions after the call. It also adds a BUG_ON to
ensure this doesn't happen again.

Before this patch, multiple users called gfs2_qa_alloc which allocated
a qadata structure to the inode, if quotas are turned on. Later, in
file close or evict, the structure was deleted with gfs2_qa_delete.
But there can be several competing processes who need access to the
structure. There were races between file close (release) and the others.
Thus, a release could delete the structure out from under a process
that relied upon its existence. For example, chown.
This patch changes the management of the qadata structures to be
a get/put scheme. Function gfs2_qa_alloc has been changed to gfs2_qa_get
and if the structure is allocated, the count essentially starts out at
1. Function gfs2_qa_delete has been renamed to gfs2_qa_put, and the
last guy to decrement the count to 0 frees the memory.
