f87904c075 writeback: avoid use-after-free after removing device
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.

fe6c9c6e3e mm: Add balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() function
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().

e92eebbb09 mm: Move updates of dirty_exceeded into one place
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.

ea6813be07 mm: Move starting of background writeback into the main balancing loop
We start background writeback if we are over background threshold after
exiting the main loop in balance_dirty_pages(). This may result in
basing the decision on already stale values (we may have slept for
significant amount of time) and it is also inconvenient for refactoring
needed for async dirty throttling. Move the check into the main waiting
loop.

44d35720c9 sysctl changes for v5.19-rc1
For two kernel releases now kernel/sysctl.c has been being cleaned up
 slowly, since the tables were grossly long, sprinkled with tons of #ifdefs and
 all this caused merge conflicts with one susbystem or another.
 
 This tree was put together to help try to avoid conflicts with these cleanups
 going on different trees at time. So nothing exciting on this pull request,
 just cleanups.
 
 I actually had this sysctl-next tree up since v5.18 but I missed sending a
 pull request for it on time during the last merge window. And so these changes
 have been being soaking up on sysctl-next and so linux-next for a while.
 The last change was merged May 4th.
 
 Most of the compile issues were reported by 0day and fixed.
 
 To help avoid a conflict with bpf folks at Daniel Borkmann's request
 I merged bpf-next/pr/bpf-sysctl into sysctl-next to get the effor which
 moves the BPF sysctls from kernel/sysctl.c to BPF core.
 
 Possible merge conflicts and known resolutions as per linux-next:

aa779e5102 mm: move page-writeback sysctls to their own file
kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just
care about the core logic.

So move the page-writeback sysctls to its own file.

566d336288 mm: warn on deleting redirtied only if accounted
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.

implementations to retrieve the address_space from the page.  This is
particularly important for filesystems which use FS_OPS for swap.

c3f4a9a2b0 mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttle
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.

8d58802fc9 mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestion
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.

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.

45a2966fd6 writeback: fix bandwidth estimate for spiky workload
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.

fee468fdf4 writeback: reliably update bandwidth estimation
Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback().  However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g.  from fsync(2).  Make sure writeback estimates happen
reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().

633a2abb9e writeback: track number of inodes under writeback
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.

5ed964f8e5 mm: hide laptop_mode_wb_timer entirely behind the BDI API
Don't leak the detaіls of the timer into the block layer, instead
initialize the timer in bdi_alloc and delete it in bdi_unregister.
Note that this means the timer is initialized (but not armed) for
non-block queues as well now.

b82a96c925 fs: remove noop_set_page_dirty()
Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead.  This will set the dirty bit
on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the
future.  It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the
pages are not on any LRU lists.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: export __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() to modules]
