v1->v2:
- reworked so it only affects x86, since its the only arch I can build and test.
- fixed the fact that do_page_mkwrite wasn't actually sending ALLOW_RETRY down
  to ->page_mkwrite.
- fixed error handling in do_page_mkwrite/callers to explicitly catch
  VM_FAULT_RETRY.
- fixed btrfs to set ->cached_page properly.

This time I've verified that the ->page_mkwrite retry path is actually getting
used (apparently I only verified the read side last time).  xfstests is still
running but it passed the couple of mmap tests I ran directly.  Again this is an
RFC, I'm still doing a bunch of testing, but I'd appreciate comments on the
overall strategy.

-- Original message --

Now that we have proper isolation in place with cgroups2 we have started going
through and fixing the various priority inversions.  Most are all gone now, but
this one is sort of weird since it's not necessarily a priority inversion that
happens within the kernel, but rather because of something userspace does.

We have giant applications that we want to protect, and parts of these giant
applications do things like watch the system state to determine how healthy the
box is for load balancing and such.  This involves running 'ps' or other such
utilities.  These utilities will often walk /proc/<pid>/whatever, and these
files can sometimes need to down_read(&task->mmap_sem).  Not usually a big deal,
but we noticed when we are stress testing that sometimes our protected
application has latency spikes trying to get the mmap_sem for tasks that are in
lower priority cgroups.

This is because any down_write() on a semaphore essentially turns it into a
mutex, so even if we currently have it held for reading, any new readers will
not be allowed on to keep from starving the writer.  This is fine, except a
lower priority task could be stuck doing IO because it has been throttled to the
point that its IO is taking much longer than normal.  But because a higher
priority group depends on this completing it is now stuck behind lower priority
work.

In order to avoid this particular priority inversion we want to use the existing
retry mechanism to stop from holding the mmap_sem at all if we are going to do
IO.  This already exists in the read case sort of, but needed to be extended for
more than just grabbing the page lock.  With io.latency we throttle at
submit_bio() time, so the readahead stuff can block and even page_cache_read can
block, so all these paths need to have the mmap_sem dropped.

The other big thing is ->page_mkwrite.  btrfs is particularly shitty here
because we have to reserve space for the dirty page, which can be a very
expensive operation.  We use the same retry method as the read path, and simply
cache the page and verify the page is still setup properly the next pass through
->page_mkwrite().

I've tested these patches with xfstests and there are no regressions.  Let me
know what you think.  Thanks,

Josef

We want to be able to cache the result of a previous loop of a page
fault in the case that we use VM_FAULT_RETRY, so introduce
handle_mm_fault_cacheable that will take a struct vm_fault directly, add
a ->cached_page field to vm_fault, and add helpers to init/cleanup the
struct vm_fault.

I've converted x86, other arch's can follow suit if they so wish, it's
relatively straightforward.

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

Reads can take a long time, and if anybody needs to take a write lock on
the mmap_sem it'll block any subsequent readers to the mmap_sem while
the read is outstanding, which could cause long delays.  Instead drop
the mmap_sem if we do any reads at all.

From: Johannes Weiner <jweiner@fb.com>

__read_swap_cache_async() has a misleading name. All it does is look
up or create a page in swapcache; it doesn't initiate any IO.

The swapcache has many parallels to the page cache, and shares naming
schemes with it elsewhere. Analogous to the cache lookup and creation
API, rename __read_swap_cache_async() find_or_create_swap_cache() and
lookup_swap_cache() to find_swap_cache().

We don't need to hold the mmap_sem while we're doing the IO, simply drop
it and retry appropriately.

If we drop the mmap_sem we have to redo the vma lookup which requires
redoing the fault handler.  Chances are we will just come back to the
same page, so save this page in our vmf->cached_page and reuse it in the
next loop through the fault handler.

This is preparation for dropping the mmap_sem in page_mkwrite.  We need
to know if we used our cached page so we can be sure it is the page we
already did the page_mkwrite stuff on so we don't have to redo all of
that work.

Before we didn't set the retry flag on our vm_fault.  We want to allow
file systems to drop the mmap_sem if they so choose, so set this flag
and deal with VM_FAULT_RETRY appropriately.

->page_mkwrite is extremely expensive in btrfs.  We have to reserve
space, which can take 6 lifetimes, and we could possibly have to wait on
writeback on the page, another several lifetimes.  To avoid this simply
drop the mmap_sem if we didn't have the cached page and do all of our
work and return the appropriate retry error.  If we have the cached page
we know we did all the right things to set this page up and we can just
carry on.

Here's what I did back in January ... feel free to steal any of it if you
