[PATCH 4.19 01/46] iomap: Revert "fs/iomap.c: get/put the page in iomap_page_create/release()"

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit a837eca2412051628c0529768c9bc4f3580b040e ]

This reverts commit 61c6de667263184125d5ca75e894fcad632b0dd3.

The reverted commit added page reference counting to iomap page
structures that are used to track block size < page size state. This
was supposed to align the code with page migration page accounting
assumptions, but what it has done instead is break XFS filesystems.
Every fstests run I've done on sub-page block size XFS filesystems
has since picking up this commit 2 days ago has failed with bad page
state errors such as:

# ./run_check.sh "-m rmapbt=1,reflink=1 -i sparse=1 -b size=1k" "generic/038"

 Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
....

The failures are from anyway that frees pages and empties the
per-cpu page magazines, so it's not a predictable failure or an easy
to debug failure.

generic/038 is a reliable reproducer of this problem - it has a 9 in
10 failure rate on one of my test machines. Failure on other
machines have been at random points in fstests runs but every run
has ended up tripping this problem. Hence generic/038 was used to
bisect the failure because it was the most reliable failure.

It is too close to the 4.20 release (not to mention holidays) to
try to diagnose, fix and test the underlying cause of the problem,
so reverting the commit is the only option we have right now. The
revert has been tested against a current tot 4.20-rc7+ kernel across
multiple machines running sub-page block size XFs filesystems and
none of the bad page state failures have been seen.
