Until now, DM bufio's waiting for IO from reclaim context in its
shrinker has caused kswapd to block; which results in systemic IO
stalls and even deadlock, e.g.:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2020-March/msg00025.html
Here is Dave Chinner's problem description that motivated this fix,
from: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190809215733.GZ7777@dread.disaster.area/
"Waiting for IO in kswapd reclaim context is considered harmful -
kswapd context shrinker reclaim should be as non-blocking as possible,
and any back-off to wait for IO to complete should be done by the high
level reclaim core once it's completed an entire reclaim scan cycle of
everything....
What follows from that, and is pertinent in this situation, is that if
you don't block kswapd, then other reclaim contexts are not going to
get stuck waiting for it regardless of the reclaim context they use."
Continued elsewhere:
"The only way to fix this problem once and for all is to stop using
the shrinker as a mechanism to issue and wait on IO. If you need
background writeback of dirty buffers, do it from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM
workqueue that isn't directly in the memory reclaim path and so can
issue writeback and block safely from a GFP_KERNEL context. Kick the
workqueue from the shrinker context, but get rid of the IO submission
and waiting from the shrinker and all the GFP_NOFS memory reclaim
recursion problems go away."
As such, this commit moves buffer cleanup to a workqueue.

This commit introduces a global cache replacement (instead of per-client
cleanup).
If one bufio client uses the cache heavily and another client is not using
it, we want to let the first client use most of the cache. The old
algorithm would partition the cache equally betwen the clients and that is
sub-optimal.
For cache replacement, we use the clock algorithm because it doesn't
require taking any lock when the buffer is accessed.

Note that the fix offered by commit bd293d071f doesn't really prevent

i.e. it has already successfully taken the mutex. Changing the mutex

When thin-volume is built on loop device, if available memory is low,
the following deadlock can be triggered:
One process P1 allocates memory with GFP_FS flag, direct alloc fails,
memory reclaim invokes memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan()
runs, mutex dm_bufio_client->lock is acquired, then P1 waits for dm_buffer
IO to complete in __try_evict_buffer().
But this IO may never complete if issued to an underlying loop device
that forwards it using direct-IO, which allocates memory using
GFP_KERNEL (see: do_blockdev_direct_IO()). If allocation fails, memory
reclaim will invoke memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan()
will be invoked, and since the mutex is already held by P1 the loop
thread will hang, and IO will never complete. Resulting in ABBA
deadlock.

Commit 6b5e718cc1 ("dm bufio: relax alignment constraint on slab
cache") relaxed alignment on dm-bufio cache, however it may break
dm-crypt or dm-integrity.
dm-crypt and dm-integrity require that the size of bio vector entries
(bv_len) is aligned on its sector size. bv_offset doesn't have to be
aligned, but bv_len must be. XFS sends unaligned bios, but they do not
cross page boundary, so the requirement for aligned bv_len is met.
Commit 6b5e718cc1 made dm-bufio send unaligned bios that cross page
boundary, this could break dm-crypt and dm-integrity.
Reinstates the alignment. Note that misaligned entries only happen when
we use slab/slub debugging. Without debugging, the entries are always
aligned.

The bio structure consumes a substantial part of dm_buffer. The bio
structure is only needed when doing I/O on the buffer, thus we don't
have to embed it in the buffer.

We don't need to create a bio_set because, in case of allocation

When system is under memory pressure it is observed that dm bufio
shrinker often reclaims only one buffer per scan. This change fixes
the following two issues in dm bufio shrinker that cause this behavior:
1. ((nr_to_scan - freed) <= retain_target) condition is used to
terminate slab scan process. This assumes that nr_to_scan is equal
to the LRU size, which might not be correct because do_shrink_slab()
in vmscan.c calculates nr_to_scan using multiple inputs.
As a result when nr_to_scan is less than retain_target (64) the scan
will terminate after the first iteration, effectively reclaiming one
buffer per scan and making scans very inefficient. This hurts vmscan
performance especially because mutex is acquired/released every time
dm_bufio_shrink_scan() is called.
New implementation uses ((LRU size - freed) <= retain_target)
condition for scan termination. LRU size can be safely determined
inside __scan() because this function is called after dm_bufio_lock().
2. do_shrink_slab() uses value returned by dm_bufio_shrink_count() to
determine number of freeable objects in the slab. However dm_bufio
always retains retain_target buffers in its LRU and will terminate
a scan when this mark is reached. Therefore returning the entire LRU size
from dm_bufio_shrink_count() is misleading because that does not
represent the number of freeable objects that slab will reclaim during
a scan. Returning (LRU size - retain_target) better represents the
number of freeable objects in the slab. This way do_shrink_slab()
returns 0 when (LRU size < retain_target) and vmscan will not try to
scan this shrinker avoiding scans that will not reclaim any memory.

(VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100
overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed. For example, on a
32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is
1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum
cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem). This causes
severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems.
Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage. Do
this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage. Also
replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary
to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()
// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

We should be returning normal negative error codes here. The "a"
variables comes from &c->async_write_error which is a blk_status_t
converted to a regular error code.
In the current code, the blk_status_t gets propogated back to
pool_create() and eventually results in an Oops.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.

Commit b685d3d65a ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

Change the type of the parameter "retain_bytes" from unsigned to
unsigned long, so that on 64-bit machines the user can set more than
4GiB of data to be retained.
Also, change the type of the variable "count" in the function
"__evict_old_buffers" to unsigned long. The assignment
"count = c->n_buffers[LIST_CLEAN] + c->n_buffers[LIST_DIRTY];"
could result in unsigned long to unsigned overflow and that could result
in buffers not being freed when they should.
While at it, avoid division in get_retain_buffers(). Division is slow,
we can change it to shift because we have precalculated the log2 of
block size.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in
__bufio_new(). However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user
changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes.
This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that
all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of
"max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the
new value because no new buffer would be allocated.
To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the
watermark. __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the
user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change
within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

__get_memory_limit() tests if dm_bufio_cache_size changed and calls
__cache_size_refresh() if it did. It takes dm_bufio_clients_lock while
it already holds the client lock. However, lock ordering is violated
because in cleanup_old_buffers() dm_bufio_clients_lock is taken before
the client lock.
This results in a possible deadlock and lockdep engine warning.
Fix this deadlock by changing mutex_lock() to mutex_trylock(). If the
lock can't be taken, it will be re-checked next time when a new buffer
is allocated.
Also add "unlikely" to the if condition, so that the optimizer assumes
that the condition is false.
