writeback: Avoid skipping inode writeback
We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing.
The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots
of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background
writeback cannot writeback the inode.
After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead
to the issue:
task1 task2
----- -----
fuse_flush
write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time
writeback_single_inode
__writeback_single_inode
fuse_write_end
filemap_dirty_folio
__xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
lock inode->i_lock
if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES
unlock inode->i_lock
__mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES
lock inode->i_lock
-was dirty,inode stays in
-b_dirty_time
unlock inode->i_lock
if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All))
-not true,so nothing done
This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode
currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of
writeback_single_inode.

inode_congested() reports if the backing-device for the inode is congested. No bdi reports congestion any more, so this always returns 'false'. So remove inode_congested() and related functions, and remove the call sites, assuming that inode_congested() always returns 'false'.

Merge tag 'fscache-rewrite-20220111' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs
Pull fscache rewrite from David Howells:
"This is a set of patches that rewrites the fscache driver and the
cachefiles driver, significantly simplifying the code compared to
what's upstream, removing the complex operation scheduling and object
state machine in favour of something much smaller and simpler.
The series is structured such that the first few patches disable
fscache use by the network filesystems using it, remove the cachefiles
driver entirely and as much of the fscache driver as can be got away
with without causing build failures in the network filesystems.
The patches after that recreate fscache and then cachefiles,
attempting to add the pieces in a logical order. Finally, the
filesystems are reenabled and then the very last patch changes the
documentation.
[!] Note: I have dropped the cifs patch for the moment, leaving local
caching in cifs disabled. I've been having trouble getting that
working. I think I have it done, but it needs more testing (there
seem to be some test failures occurring with v5.16 also from
xfstests), so I propose deferring that patch to the end of the
merge window.
WHY REWRITE?
============
Fscache's operation scheduling API was intended to handle sequencing
of cache operations, which were all required (where possible) to run
asynchronously in parallel with the operations being done by the
network filesystem, whilst allowing the cache to be brought online and
offline and to interrupt service for invalidation.
With the advent of the tmpfile capacity in the VFS, however, an
opportunity arises to do invalidation much more simply, without having
to wait for I/O that's actually in progress: Cachefiles can simply
create a tmpfile, cut over the file pointer for the backing object
attached to a cookie and abandon the in-progress I/O, dismissing it
upon completion.
Future work here would involve using Omar Sandoval's vfs_link() with
AT_LINK_REPLACE[1] to allow an extant file to be displaced by a new
hard link from a tmpfile as currently I have to unlink the old file
first.
These patches can also simplify the object state handling as I/O
operations to the cache don't all have to be brought to a stop in
order to invalidate a file. To that end, and with an eye on to writing
a new backing cache model in the future, I've taken the opportunity to
simplify the indexing structure.
I've separated the index cookie concept from the file cookie concept
by C type now. The former is now called a "volume cookie" (struct
fscache_volume) and there is a container of file cookies. There are
then just the two levels. All the index cookie levels are collapsed
into a single volume cookie, and this has a single printable string as
a key. For instance, an AFS volume would have a key of something like
"afs,example.com,1000555", combining the filesystem name, cell name
and volume ID. This is freeform, but must not have '/' chars in it.
I've also eliminated all pointers back from fscache into the network
filesystem. This required the duplication of a little bit of data in
the cookie (cookie key, coherency data and file size), but it's not
actually that much. This gets rid of problems with making sure we keep
netfs data structures around so that the cache can access them.
These patches mean that most of the code that was in the drivers
before is simply gone and those drivers are now almost entirely new
code. That being the case, there doesn't seem any particular reason to
try and maintain bisectability across it. Further, there has to be a
point in the middle where things are cut over as there's a single
point everything has to go through (ie. /dev/cachefiles) and it can't
be in use by two drivers at once.
ISSUES YET OUTSTANDING
======================
There are some issues still outstanding, unaddressed by this patchset,
that will need fixing in future patchsets, but that don't stop this
series from being usable:
(1) The cachefiles driver needs to stop using the backing filesystem's
metadata to store information about what parts of the cache are
populated. This is not reliable with modern extent-based
filesystems.
Fixing this is deferred to a separate patchset as it involves
negotiation with the network filesystem and the VM as to how much
data to download to fulfil a read - which brings me on to (2)...
(2) NFS (and CIFS with the dropped patch) do not take account of how
the cache would like I/O to be structured to meet its granularity
requirements. Previously, the cache used page granularity, which
was fine as the network filesystems also dealt in page
granularity, and the backing filesystem (ext4, xfs or whatever)
did whatever it did out of sight. However, we now have folios to
deal with and the cache will now have to store its own metadata to
track its contents.
The change I'm looking at making for cachefiles is to store
content bitmaps in one or more xattrs and making a bit in the map
correspond to something like a 256KiB block. However, the size of
an xattr and the fact that they have to be read/updated in one go
means that I'm looking at covering 1GiB of data per 512-byte map
and storing each map in an xattr. Cachefiles has the potential to
grow into a fully fledged filesystem of its very own if I'm not
careful.
However, I'm also looking at changing things even more radically
and going to a different model of how the cache is arranged and
managed - one that's more akin to the way, say, openafs does
things - which brings me on to (3)...
(3) The way cachefilesd does culling is very inefficient for large
caches and it would be better to move it into the kernel if I can
as cachefilesd has to keep asking the kernel if it can cull a
file. Changing the way the backend works would allow this to be
addressed.
BITS THAT MAY BE CONTROVERSIAL
==============================
There are some bits I've added that may be controversial:
(1) I've provided a flag, S_KERNEL_FILE, that cachefiles uses to check
if a files is already being used by some other kernel service
(e.g. a duplicate cachefiles cache in the same directory) and
reject it if it is. This isn't entirely necessary, but it helps
prevent accidental data corruption.
I don't want to use S_SWAPFILE as that has other effects, but
quite possibly swapon() should set S_KERNEL_FILE too.
Note that it doesn't prevent userspace from interfering, though
perhaps it should. (I have made it prevent a marked directory from
being rmdir-able).
(2) Cachefiles wants to keep the backing file for a cookie open whilst
we might need to write to it from network filesystem writeback.
The problem is that the network filesystem unuses its cookie when
its file is closed, and so we have nothing pinning the cachefiles
file open and it will get closed automatically after a short time
to avoid EMFILE/ENFILE problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being
done due to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will
oops if we try to open a file in that context because they want to
access current->fs or suchlike.
To get around this, I added the following:
(A) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network
filesystem inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the
cookie caching that inode.
(B) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that
is set when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty
page from i_pages - at which point it clears
I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this flag.
This has to be done here so that clearing I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB
can be done atomically with the check of PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
that clears I_DIRTY_PAGES.
(C) A function, fscache_set_page_dirty(), which if it is not set,
sets I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to
pin the cache resources.
(D) A function, fscache_unpin_writeback(), to be called by
->write_inode() to unuse the cookie.
(E) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when
the inode is evicted, before clear_inode() is called. This
cleans up any lingering I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB.
The network filesystem can then use these tools to make sure that
fscache_write_to_cache() can write locally modified data to the
cache as well as to the server.
For the future, I'm working on write helpers for netfs lib that
should allow this facility to be removed by keeping track of the
dirty regions separately - but that's incomplete at the moment and
is also going to be affected by folios, one way or another, since
it deals with pages"

vfs, fscache: Implement pinning of cache usage for writeback
Cachefiles has a problem in that it needs to keep the backing file for a
cookie open whilst there are local modifications pending that need to be
written to it. However, we don't want to keep the file open indefinitely,
as that causes EMFILE/ENFILE/ENOMEM problems.
Reopening the cache file, however, is a problem if this is being done due
to writeback triggered by exit(). Some filesystems will oops if we try to
open a file in that context because they want to access current->fs or
other resources that have already been dismantled.
To get around this, I added the following:
(1) An inode flag, I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB, to be set on a network filesystem
inode to indicate that we have a usage count on the cookie caching
that inode.
(2) A flag in struct writeback_control, unpinned_fscache_wb, that is set
when __writeback_single_inode() clears the last dirty page from
i_pages - at which point it clears I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and sets this

I_PINNING_FSCACHE_WB and calls fscache_use_cookie() to pin the cache
resources.

to unuse the cookie.
(5) A function, fscache_clear_inode_writeback(), to be called when the

writeback: prefer struct_size over open coded arithmetic
As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. In this case these are not actually dynamic sizes: all the operands involved in the calculation are constant values. However it is better to refactor them anyway, just to keep the open-coded math idiom out of code. So, use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + count * size" in the kzalloc() functions. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed manually.

writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id
Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg stats.

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().

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.

The crash happens on an attempt to iterate over attached pagecache pages
and check the dirty flag: a dax inode's xarray contains pfn's instead of
generic struct page pointers.
This happens for DAX and not for other kinds of non-page entries in the
inodes because it's a tagged iteration, and shadow/swap entries are
never tagged; only DAX entries get tagged.
Fix the problem by bailing out (with the false return value) of
inode_prepare_sbs_switch() if a dax inode is passed.

writeback, cgroup: release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes
Asynchronously try to release dying cgwbs by switching attached inodes to the nearest living ancestor wb. It helps to get rid of per-cgroup writeback structures themselves and of pinned memory and block cgroups, which are significantly larger structures (mostly due to large per-cpu statistics data). This prevents memory waste and helps to avoid different scalability problems caused by large piles of dying cgroups. Reuse the existing mechanism of inode switching used for foreign inode detection. To speed things up batch up to 115 inode switching in a single operation (the maximum number is selected so that the resulting struct inode_switch_wbs_context can fit into 1024 bytes). Because every switching consists of two steps divided by an RCU grace period, it would be too slow without batching. Please note that the whole batch counts as a single operation (when increasing/decreasing isw_nr_in_flight). This allows to keep umounting working (flush the switching queue), however prevents cleanups from consuming the whole switching quota and effectively blocking the frn switching. A cgwb cleanup operation can fail due to different reasons (e.g. not enough memory, the cgwb has an in-flight/pending io, an attached inode in a wrong state, etc). In this case the next scheduled cleanup will make a new attempt. An attempt is made each time a new cgwb is offlined (in other words a memcg and/or a blkcg is deleted by a user). In the future an additional attempt scheduled by a timer can be implemented.

writeback, cgroup: support switching multiple inodes at once
Currently only a single inode can be switched to another writeback structure at once. That means to switch an inode a separate inode_switch_wbs_context structure must be allocated, and a separate rcu callback and work must be scheduled. It's fine for the existing ad-hoc switching, which is not happening that often, but sub-optimal for massive switching required in order to release a writeback structure. To prepare for it, let's add a support for switching multiple inodes at once. Instead of containing a single inode pointer, inode_switch_wbs_context will contain a NULL-terminated array of inode pointers. inode_do_switch_wbs() will be called for each inode. To optimize the locking bdi->wb_switch_rwsem, old_wb's and new_wb's list_locks will be acquired and released only once altogether for all inodes. wb_wakeup() will be also be called only once. Instead of calling wb_put(old_wb) after each successful switch, wb_put_many() is introduced and used.

writeback, cgroup: keep list of inodes attached to bdi_writeback
Currently there is no way to iterate over inodes attached to a specific cgwb structure. It limits the ability to efficiently reclaim the writeback structure itself and associated memory and block cgroup structures without scanning all inodes belonging to a sb, which can be prohibitively expensive. While dirty/in-active-writeback an inode belongs to one of the bdi_writeback's io lists: b_dirty, b_io, b_more_io and b_dirty_time. Once cleaned up, it's removed from all io lists. So the inode->i_io_list can be reused to maintain the list of inodes, attached to a bdi_writeback structure. This patch introduces a new wb->b_attached list, which contains all inodes which were dirty at least once and are attached to the given cgwb. Inodes attached to the root bdi_writeback structures are never placed on such list. The following patch will use this list to try to release cgwbs structures more efficiently.

writeback, cgroup: switch to rcu_work API in inode_switch_wbs()
Inode's wb switching requires two steps divided by an RCU grace period. It's currently implemented as an RCU callback inode_switch_wbs_rcu_fn(), which schedules inode_switch_wbs_work_fn() as a work. Switching to the rcu_work API allows to do the same in a cleaner and slightly shorter form.

writeback, cgroup: increment isw_nr_in_flight before grabbing an inode
isw_nr_in_flight is used to determine whether the inode switch queue should be flushed from the umount path. Currently it's increased after grabbing an inode and even scheduling the switch work. It means the umount path can walk past cleanup_offline_cgwb() with active inode references, which can result in a "Busy inodes after unmount." message and use-after-free issues (with inode->i_sb which gets freed). Fix it by incrementing isw_nr_in_flight before doing anything with the inode and decrementing in the case when switching wasn't scheduled. The problem hasn't yet been seen in the real life and was discovered by Jan Kara by looking into the code.

writeback, cgroup: do not switch inodes with I_WILL_FREE flag
Patch series "cgroup, blkcg: prevent dirty inodes to pin dying memory cgroups", v9. When an inode is getting dirty for the first time it's associated with a wb structure (see __inode_attach_wb()). It can later be switched to another wb (if e.g. some other cgroup is writing a lot of data to the same inode), but otherwise stays attached to the original wb until being reclaimed. The problem is that the wb structure holds a reference to the original memory and blkcg cgroups. So if an inode has been dirty once and later is actively used in read-only mode, it has a good chance to pin down the original memory and blkcg cgroups forever. This is often the case with services bringing data for other services, e.g. updating some rpm packages. In the real life it becomes a problem due to a large size of the memcg structure, which can easily be 1000x larger than an inode. Also a really large number of dying cgroups can raise different scalability issues, e.g. making the memory reclaim costly and less effective. To solve the problem inodes should be eventually detached from the corresponding writeback structure. It's inefficient to do it after every writeback completion. Instead it can be done whenever the original memory cgroup is offlined and writeback structure is getting killed. Scanning over a (potentially long) list of inodes and detach them from the writeback structure can take quite some time. To avoid scanning all inodes, attached inodes are kept on a new list (b_attached). To make it less noticeable to a user, the scanning and switching is performed from a work context. Big thanks to Jan Kara, Dennis Zhou, Hillf Danton and Tejun Heo for their ideas and contribution to this patchset. This patch (of 8): If an inode's state has I_WILL_FREE flag set, the inode will be freed soon, so there is no point in trying to switch the inode to a different cgwb. I_WILL_FREE was ignored since the introduction of the inode switching, so it looks like it doesn't lead to any noticeable issues for a user. This is why the patch is not intended for a stable backport.

writeback: fix obtain a reference to a freeing memcg css
The caller of wb_get_create() should pin the memcg, because
wb_get_create() relies on this guarantee. The rcu read lock
only can guarantee that the memcg css returned by css_from_id()
cannot be released, but the reference of the memcg can be zero.
rcu_read_lock()
memcg_css = css_from_id()
wb_get_create(memcg_css)
cgwb_create(memcg_css)
// css_get can change the ref counter from 0 back to 1
css_get(memcg_css)
rcu_read_unlock()
Fix it by holding a reference to the css before calling
wb_get_create(). This is not a problem I encountered in the
real world. Just the result of a code review.

block_dump: remove block_dump feature in mark_inode_dirty()
block_dump is an old debugging interface, one of it's functions is used to print the information about who write which file on disk. If we enable block_dump through /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and turn on debug log level, we can gather information about write process name, target file name and disk from kernel message. This feature is realized in block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(), it print above information into kernel message directly when marking inode dirty, so it is noisy and can easily trigger log storm. At the same time, get the dentry refcount is also not safe, we found it will lead to deadlock on ext4 file system with data=journal mode. After tracepoints has been introduced into the kernel, we got a tracepoint in __mark_inode_dirty(), which is a better replacement of block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(). The only downside is that it only trace the inode number and not a file name, but it probably doesn't matter because the original printed file name in block_dump is not accurate in some cases, and we can still find it through the inode number and device id. So this patch delete the dirting inode part of block_dump feature.

fs: don't call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates
There is no need to call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates (i.e. for __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_TIME)), since by the definition of lazytime, filesystems must ignore these updates. Filesystems only need to care about the updated timestamps when they expire. Therefore, only call ->dirty_inode when I_DIRTY_INODE is set.

fs: fix lazytime expiration handling in __writeback_single_inode()
When lazytime is enabled and an inode is being written due to its in-memory updated timestamps having expired, either due to a sync() or syncfs() system call or due to dirtytime_expire_interval having elapsed, the VFS needs to inform the filesystem so that the filesystem can copy the inode's timestamps out to the on-disk data structures. This is done by __writeback_single_inode() calling mark_inode_dirty_sync(), which then calls ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC). However, this occurs after __writeback_single_inode() has already cleared the dirty flags from ->i_state. This causes two bugs: - mark_inode_dirty_sync() redirties the inode, causing it to remain dirty. This wastefully causes the inode to be written twice. But more importantly, it breaks cases where sync_filesystem() is expected to clean dirty inodes. This includes the FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl (as reported at https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200306004555.GB225345@gmail.com), as well as possibly filesystem freezing (freeze_super()). - Since ->i_state doesn't contain I_DIRTY_TIME when ->dirty_inode() is called from __writeback_single_inode() for lazytime expiration, xfs_fs_dirty_inode() ignores the notification. (XFS only cares about lazytime expirations, and it assumes that i_state will contain I_DIRTY_TIME during those.) Therefore, lazy timestamps aren't persisted by sync(), syncfs(), or dirtytime_expire_interval on XFS. Fix this by moving the call to mark_inode_dirty_sync() to earlier in __writeback_single_inode(), before the dirty flags are cleared from i_state. This makes filesystems be properly notified of the timestamp expiration, and it avoids incorrectly redirtying the inode. This fixes xfstest generic/580 (which tests FS_IOC_REMOVE_ENCRYPTION_KEY) when run on ext4 or f2fs with lazytime enabled. It also fixes the new lazytime xfstest I've proposed, which reproduces the above-mentioned XFS bug (https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210105005818.92978-1-ebiggers@kernel.org). Alternatively, we could call ->dirty_inode(I_DIRTY_SYNC) directly. But due to the introduction of I_SYNC_QUEUED, mark_inode_dirty_sync() is the right thing to do because mark_inode_dirty_sync() now knows not to move the inode to a writeback list if it is currently queued for sync.

writeback: Fix sync livelock due to b_dirty_time processing
When we are processing writeback for sync(2), move_expired_inodes()
didn't set any inode expiry value (older_than_this). This can result in
writeback never completing if there's steady stream of inodes added to
b_dirty_time list as writeback rechecks dirty lists after each writeback
round whether there's more work to be done. Fix the problem by using
sync(2) start time is inode expiry value when processing b_dirty_time
list similarly as for ordinarily dirtied inodes. This requires some
refactoring of older_than_this handling which simplifies the code
noticeably as a bonus.

writeback: Avoid skipping inode writeback
Inode's i_io_list list head is used to attach inode to several different
lists - wb->{b_dirty, b_dirty_time, b_io, b_more_io}. When flush worker
prepares a list of inodes to writeback e.g. for sync(2), it moves inodes
to b_io list. Thus it is critical for sync(2) data integrity guarantees
that inode is not requeued to any other writeback list when inode is
queued for processing by flush worker. That's the reason why
writeback_single_inode() does not touch i_io_list (unless the inode is
completely clean) and why __mark_inode_dirty() does not touch i_io_list
if I_SYNC flag is set.
However there are two flaws in the current logic:
1) When inode has only I_DIRTY_TIME set but it is already queued in b_io
list due to sync(2), concurrent __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_SYNC)
can still move inode back to b_dirty list resulting in skipping
writeback of inode time stamps during sync(2).
2) When inode is on b_dirty_time list and writeback_single_inode() races
with __mark_inode_dirty() like:
writeback_single_inode() __mark_inode_dirty(inode, I_DIRTY_PAGES)
inode->i_state |= I_SYNC
__writeback_single_inode()
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES;
if (inode->i_state & I_SYNC)
bail
if (!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_ALL))
- not true so nothing done
We end up with I_DIRTY_PAGES inode on b_dirty_time list and thus
standard background writeback will not writeback this inode leading to
possible dirty throttling stalls etc. (thanks to Martijn Coenen for this
analysis).
Fix these problems by tracking whether inode is queued in b_io or
b_more_io lists in a new I_SYNC_QUEUED flag. When this flag is set, we
know flush worker has queued inode and we should not touch i_io_list.
On the other hand we also know that once flush worker is done with the
inode it will requeue the inode to appropriate dirty list. When
I_SYNC_QUEUED is not set, __mark_inode_dirty() can (and must) move inode
to appropriate dirty list.

writeback: Export inode_io_list_del()
Ext4 needs to remove inode from writeback lists after it is out of visibility of its journalling machinery (which can still dirty the inode). Export inode_io_list_del() for it.

mm/writeback: discard NR_UNSTABLE_NFS, use NR_WRITEBACK instead
After an NFS page has been written it is considered "unstable" until a
COMMIT request succeeds. If the COMMIT fails, the page will be
re-written.
These "unstable" pages are currently accounted as "reclaimable", either
in WB_RECLAIMABLE, or in NR_UNSTABLE_NFS which is included in a
'reclaimable' count. This might have made sense when sending the COMMIT
required a separate action by the VFS/MM (e.g. releasepage() used to
send a COMMIT). However now that all writes generated by ->writepages()
will automatically be followed by a COMMIT (since commit

bdi: remove the name field in struct backing_dev_info
The name is only printed for a not registered bdi in writeback. Use the device name there as is more useful anyway for the unlike case that the warning triggers.

memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappears
Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.
