Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Currently the writeback statistics code uses a percpu counters to hold
various statistics. Furthermore we have 2 families of functions - those
which disable local irq and those which doesn't and whose names begin
with double underscore. However, they both end up calling
__add_wb_stats which in turn calls percpu_counter_add_batch which is
already irq-safe.
Exploiting this fact allows to eliminated the __wb_* functions since
they don't add any further protection than we already have.
Furthermore, refactor the wb_* function to call __add_wb_stat directly
without the irq-disabling dance. This will likely result in better
runtime of code which deals with modifying the stat counters.
While at it also document why percpu_counter_add_batch is in fact
preempt and irq-safe since at least 3 people got confused.

Currently, percpu_counter_add is a wrapper around __percpu_counter_add
which is preempt safe due to explicit calls to preempt_disable. Given
how __ prefix is used in percpu related interfaces, the naming
unfortunately creates the false sense that __percpu_counter_add is
less safe than percpu_counter_add. In terms of context-safety,
they're equivalent. The only difference is that the __ version takes
a batch parameter.
Make this a bit more explicit by just renaming __percpu_counter_add to
percpu_counter_add_batch.
This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such
as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking.
Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is
necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node
logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry
logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and
active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a
per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache
lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks.
Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note
that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are
per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested
when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed
later but is easier to review.
In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to
the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions
1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem
When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU
list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same
highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem
keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages
arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially
could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list.
That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that
highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages.
2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails
This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during
memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

bdi's are initialized in two steps, bdi_init() and bdi_register(), but
destroyed in a single step by bdi_destroy() which, for a bdi embedded
in a request_queue, is called during blk_cleanup_queue() which makes
the queue invisible and starts the draining of remaining usages.
A request_queue's user can access the congestion state of the embedded
bdi as long as it holds a reference to the queue. As such, it may
access the congested state of a queue which finished
blk_cleanup_queue() but hasn't reached blk_release_queue() yet.
Because the congested state was embedded in backing_dev_info which in
turn is embedded in request_queue, accessing the congested state after
bdi_destroy() was called was fine. The bdi was destroyed but the
memory region for the congested state remained accessible till the
queue got released.
a13f35e871 ("writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in
bdi_writeback") changed the situation. Now, the root congested state
which is expected to be pinned while request_queue remains accessible
is separately reference counted and the base ref is put during
bdi_destroy(). This means that the root congested state may go away
prematurely while the queue is between bdi_dstroy() and
blk_cleanup_queue(), which was detected by Andrey's KASAN tests.
The root cause of this problem is that bdi doesn't distinguish the two
steps of destruction, unregistration and release, and now the root
congested state actually requires a separate release step. To fix the
issue, this patch separates out bdi_unregister() and bdi_exit() from
bdi_destroy(). bdi_unregister() is called from blk_cleanup_queue()
and bdi_exit() from blk_release_queue(). bdi_destroy() is now just a
simple wrapper calling the two steps back-to-back.
While at it, the prototype of bdi_destroy() is moved right below
bdi_setup_and_register() so that the counterpart operations are
located together.

bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue
writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi.
The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the
tree only indexes wb's which are currently active.
For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the
old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed.
The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its
inodes are drained. As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes,
writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them.
bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and
failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's.
This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's
beloinging to that bdi. wb's are added on creation and removed on
release rather than on the start of destruction. bdi_for_each_wb()

inode_cgwb_enabled() gates cgroup writeback support. If it returns
true, each inode is attached to the corresponding memory domain which
gets mapped to io domain. It currently only tests whether the
filesystem and bdi support cgroup writeback; however, cgroup writeback
support doesn't work on traditional hierarchies and thus it should
also test whether memcg and iocg are on the default hierarchy.
This caused traditional hierarchy setups to hit the cgroup writeback
path inadvertently and ended up creating separate writeback domains
for each memcg and mapping them all to the root iocg uncovering a
couple issues in the cgroup writeback path.
cgroup writeback was never meant to be enabled on traditional
hierarchies. Make inode_cgwb_enabled() test whether both memcg and

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.
Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.
As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.
As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

wb's (bdi_writeback's) are currently keyed by memcg ID; however, in an
earlier implementation, wb's were keyed by blkcg ID.
bdi_for_each_wb() walks bdi->cgwb_tree in the ascending ID order and
allows iterations to start from an arbitrary ID which is used to
interrupt and resume iterations.
Unfortunately, while changing wb to be keyed by memcg ID instead of
blkcg, bdi_for_each_wb() was missed and is still assuming that wb's
are keyed by blkcg ID. This doesn't affect iterations which don't get
interrupted but bdi_split_work_to_wbs() makes use of iteration
resuming on allocation failures and thus may incorrectly skip or
repeat wb's.
Fix it by changing bdi_for_each_wb() to take memcg IDs instead of
blkcg IDs and updating bdi_split_work_to_wbs() accordingly.

52ebea749a ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific
bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's
(bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and
referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all
non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and
indexed on bdi.
When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all
non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can
also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi
destruction is complete.
To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's
to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated
bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root
cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting
dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed.
This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They
are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during
bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way.
* As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested
initialization is moved into wb_init().
* When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting.
bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong
allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are
implemented.
* The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on
CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().
This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior
differences but prepares for the actual fix.

FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK indicates whether a file_system_type supports
cgroup writeback; however, different super_blocks of the same
file_system_type may or may not support cgroup writeback depending on
filesystem options. This patch replaces FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK with a
per-super_block flag.
super_block->s_flags carries some internal flags in the high bits but
it's exposd to userland through uapi header and running out of space
anyway. This patch adds a new field super_block->s_iflags to carry
kernel-internal flags. It is currently only used by the new
SB_I_CGROUPWB flag whose concatenated and abbreviated name is for
consistency with other super_block flags.
ext2_fill_super() is updated to set SB_I_CGROUPWB.
v2: Added super_block->s_iflags instead of stealing another high bit
from sb->s_flags as suggested by Christoph and Jan.

With the previous three patches, all operations which acquire wb from
inode are either under one of inode->i_lock, mapping->tree_lock or
wb->list_lock or protected by unlocked_inode_to_wb transaction. This
will be depended upon by foreign inode wb switching.
This patch adds lockdep assertion to inode_to_wb() so that usages
outside the above list locks can be caught easily. There are three
exceptions.
* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is holding wb->list_lock but the
wb may not be the inode's. Ensuring that is the function's role
after all. Updated to deref inode->i_wb directly.
* inode_wb_stat_unlocked_begin() is usually protected by combination
of !I_WB_SWITCH and rcu_read_lock(). Updated to deref inode->i_wb
directly.
* inode_congested() wants to test whether inode->i_wb is set before
starting the transaction. Added inode_to_wb_is_valid() which tests
inode->i_wb directly.
v5: might_lock() removed. It annotates that the lock is grabbed w/
irq enabled which isn't the case and triggering lockdep warning
spuriously.
v4: might_lock() added to unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin().

The mechanism for detecting whether an inode should switch its wb
(bdi_writeback) association is now in place. This patch build the
framework for the actual switching.
This patch adds a new inode flag I_WB_SWITCHING, which has two
functions. First, the easy one, it ensures that there's only one
switching in progress for a give inode. Second, it's used as a
mechanism to synchronize wb stat updates.
The two stats, WB_RECLAIMABLE and WB_WRITEBACK, aren't event counters
but track the current number of dirty pages and pages under writeback
respectively. As such, when an inode is moved from one wb to another,
the inode's portion of those stats have to be transferred together;
unfortunately, this is a bit tricky as those stat updates are percpu
operations which are performed without holding any lock in some
places.
This patch solves the problem in a similar way as memcg. Each such
lockless stat updates are wrapped in transaction surrounded by
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin/end(). During normal operation, they map
to rcu_read_lock/unlock(); however, if I_WB_SWITCHING is asserted,
mapping->tree_lock is grabbed across the transaction.
In turn, the switching path sets I_WB_SWITCHING and waits for a RCU
grace period to pass before actually starting to switch, which
guarantees that all stat update paths are synchronizing against
mapping->tree_lock.
This patch still doesn't implement the actual switching.
v3: Updated on top of the recent cancel_dirty_page() updates.
unlocked_inode_to_wb_begin() now nests inside
mem_cgroup_begin_page_stat() to match the locking order.
v2: The i_wb access transaction will be used for !stat accesses too.
Function names and comments updated accordingly.

Currently, for cgroup writeback, the IO submission paths directly
associate the bio's with the blkcg from inode_to_wb_blkcg_css();
however, it'd be necessary to keep more writeback context to implement
foreign inode writeback detection. wbc (writeback_control) is the
natural fit for the extra context - it persists throughout the
writeback of each inode and is passed all the way down to IO
submission paths.
This patch adds wbc_attach_and_unlock_inode(), wbc_detach_inode(), and
wbc_attach_fdatawrite_inode() which are used to associate wbc with the
inode being written back. IO submission paths now use wbc_init_bio()
instead of directly associating bio's with blkcg themselves. This
leaves inode_to_wb_blkcg_css() w/o any user. The function is removed.
wbc currently only tracks the associated wb (bdi_writeback). Future
patches will add more for foreign inode detection. The association is
established under i_lock which will be depended upon when migrating
foreign inodes to other wb's.
As currently, once established, inode to wb association never changes,
going through wbc when initializing bio's doesn't cause any behavior
changes.
v2: submit_blk_blkcg() now checks whether the wbc is associated with a
wb before dereferencing it. This can happen when pageout() is
writing pages directly without going through the usual writeback
path. As pageout() path is single-threaded, we don't want it to
be blocked behind a slow cgroup and ultimately want it to delegate
actual writing to the usual writeback path.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb
(bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it
needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has
dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true.
To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track
of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can
be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating
wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when
there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't
dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether
bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not.
While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it
used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior
difference.
bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether
->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero. Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its
value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback)
has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation
without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a
single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty
inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which
currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all
member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state
on each wb.
This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate
IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which
directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three
functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep
track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using
the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return
value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before.
mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of
inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake
up the wb.
While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool.
These functions were returning 0 and 1 before. Also, add a comment

In several places, bdi_congested() and its wrappers are used to
determine whether more IOs should be issued. With cgroup writeback
support, this question can't be answered solely based on the bdi
(backing_dev_info). It's dependent on whether the filesystem and bdi
support cgroup writeback and the blkcg the inode is associated with.
This patch implements inode_congested() and its wrappers which take
@inode and determines the congestion state considering cgroup
writeback. The new functions replace bdi_*congested() calls in places
where the query is about specific inode and task.
There are several filesystem users which also fit this criteria but
they should be updated when each filesystem implements cgroup
writeback support.
v2: Now that a given inode is associated with only one wb, congestion
state can be determined independent from the asking task. Drop

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.

* stat init is moved to bdi_wb_init() and bdi_wb_exit() is added and
frees stat.
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->stat[] are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.stat[]
introducing no behavior changes.

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.
This patch moves bdi->state into wb.
* enum bdi_state is renamed to wb_state and the prefix of all enums is
changed from BDI_ to WB_.
* Explicit zeroing of bdi->state is removed without adding zeoring of
wb->state as the whole data structure is zeroed on init anyway.
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
introducing no behavior changes.

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.
It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
Commit: 6cd18e711d ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")
So this isn't wanted.
It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.
Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.
So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

Pull lazytime mount option support from Al Viro:
"Lazytime stuff from tytso"
* 'lazytime' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
ext4: add optimization for the lazytime mount option
vfs: add find_inode_nowait() function
vfs: add support for a lazytime mount option
Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode
causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the
in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get
updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time
related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or
(c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory.
This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a
crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call.
For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a
preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces
writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block
will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk
drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode
table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation
latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which
is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

Now that default_backing_dev_info is not used for writeback purposes we can
git rid of it easily:
- instead of using it's name for tracing unregistered bdi we just use
"unknown"
- btrfs and ceph can just assign the default read ahead window themselves
like several other filesystems already do.
- we can assign noop_backing_dev_info as the default one in alloc_super.
All filesystems already either assigned their own or
noop_backing_dev_info.

Now that we got rid of the bdi abuse on character devices we can always use
sb->s_bdi to get at the backing_dev_info for a file, except for the block
device special case. Export inode_to_bdi and replace uses of
mapping->backing_dev_info with it to prepare for the removal of
mapping->backing_dev_info.

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the
backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap
operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated
to it's original purpose.
Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to
the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info
structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't
otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a
backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for
the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

This bdi flag isn't too useful - we can determine that a vma is backed by
either swap or shmem trivially in the caller.
This also allows removing the backing_dev_info instaces for swap and shmem
in favor of noop_backing_dev_info.
