[PATCH] iomap: get/put the page in iomap_page_create/release()

[p.jaroszynski]

From: Piotr Jaroszynski <pjaroszynski@nvidia.com>

migrate_page_move_mapping() expects pages with private data set to have
a page_count elevated by 1. This is what used to happen for xfs through
the buffer_heads code before the switch to iomap in 82cb14175e7d ("xfs:
add support for sub-pagesize writeback without buffer_heads"). Not
having the count elevated causes move_pages() to fail on memory mapped
files coming from xfs.

Make iomap compatible with the migrate_page_move_mapping() assumption
by elevating the page count as part of iomap_page_create() and lowering
it in iomap_page_release().

Fixes: 82cb14175e7d ("xfs: add support for sub-pagesize writeback
                      without buffer_heads")

I've never seen line breaks in Fixes tags, is this really a valid format?

I'd drop the "At least".

Otherwise this looks fine to me:

Probably not, fixed in v2.

Looks ok (apparently I forgot to ack this explicitly...)

[PATCH] iomap: get/put the page in iomap_page_create/release()

[Christoph Hellwig]

From: Piotr Jaroszynski <pjaroszynski@nvidia.com>

migrate_page_move_mapping() expects pages with private data set to have
a page_count elevated by 1.  This is what used to happen for xfs through
the buffer_heads code before the switch to iomap in commit 82cb14175e7d
("xfs: add support for sub-pagesize writeback without buffer_heads").
Not having the count elevated causes move_pages() to fail on memory
mapped files coming from xfs.

Make iomap compatible with the migrate_page_move_mapping() assumption by
elevating the page count as part of iomap_page_create() and lowering it
in iomap_page_release().

It causes the move_pages() syscall to misbehave on memory mapped files
from xfs.  It does not not move any pages, which I suppose is "just" a
perf issue, but it also ends up returning a positive number which is out
of spec for the syscall.  Talking to Michal Hocko, it sounds like
returning positive numbers might be a necessary update to move_pages()
anyway though.
