[PATCH v4 0/3] fs/ufs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page

[PATCH v4 0/3] fs/ufs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
the mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.

Since its use in fs/ufs is safe everywhere, it should be preferred.

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/ufs. kunmap_local()
requires the mapping address, so return that address from ufs_get_page()
to be used in ufs_put_page().

This series could have not been ever made because nothing prevented the
previous patch from working properly but Al Viro made a long series of
very appreciated comments about how many unnecessary and redundant lines
of code I could have removed. He could see things I was entirely unable
to notice. Furthermore, he also provided solutions and details about how
I could decompose a single patch into a small series of three
independent units.[1][2][3]

I want to thank him so much for the patience, kindness and the time he
decided to spend to provide those analysis and write three messages full
of interesting insights.[1][2][3]

Changes from v1:
	1/3: No changes.
	2/3: Restore the return of "err" that was mistakenly deleted
	     together with the removal of the "out" label in
	     ufs_add_link(). Thanks to Al Viro.[4]
	     Return the address of the kmap()'ed page instead of a
	     pointer to a pointer to the mapped page; a page_address()
	     had been overlooked in ufs_get_page(). Thanks to Al
	     Viro.[5]
	3/3: Return the kernel virtual address got from the call to
	     kmap_local_page() after conversion from kmap(). Again
	     thanks to Al Viro.[6]

Changes from v2:
	1/3: No changes.
	2/3: Rework ufs_get_page() because the previous version had two
	     errors: (1) It could return an invalid pages with the out
	     argument "page" and (2) it could return "page_address(page)"
	     also in cases where read_mapping_page() returned an error
	     and the page is never kmap()'ed. Thanks to Al Viro.[7]
	3/3: Rework ufs_get_page() after conversion to
	     kmap_local_page(), in accordance to the last changes in 2/3.

Changes from v3:
	1/3: No changes.
	2/3: No changes.
	3/3: Replace kunmap() with kunmap_local().

[PATCH v4 1/3] fs/ufs: Use the offset_in_page() helper

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

Use the offset_in_page() helper because it is more suitable than doing
explicit subtractions between pointers to directory entries and kernel
virtual addresses of mapped pages.

[PATCH v4 2/3] fs/ufs: Change the signature of ufs_get_page()

Change the signature of ufs_get_page() in order to prepare this function
to the conversion to the use of kmap_local_page(). Change also those call
sites which are required to conform its invocations to the new
signature.

[PATCH v4 3/3] fs/ufs: Replace kmap() with kmap_local_page()

[Fabio M. De Francesco]

kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().

There are two main problems with kmap(): (1) It comes with an overhead as
the mapping space is restricted and protected by a global lock for
synchronization and (2) it also requires global TLB invalidation when the
kmap’s pool wraps and it might block when the mapping space is fully
utilized until a slot becomes available.

With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread, CPU local, can take
page faults, and can be called from any context (including interrupts).
It is faster than kmap() in kernels with HIGHMEM enabled. Furthermore,
the tasks can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the
kernel virtual addresses are restored and still valid.

Since its use in fs/ufs is safe everywhere, it should be preferred.

Therefore, replace kmap() with kmap_local_page() in fs/ufs. kunmap_local()
requires the mapping address, so return that address from ufs_get_page()
to be used in ufs_put_page().

I don't know why but ufs_get_page() returning an address read really odd to me.
But rolling around my head alternative names nothing seems better than this.

Couldn't that be declared here?

Regardless I don't think this is broken.

I don't see the calls to kunmap() in ufs_rename converted here?

Did I miss them?

I think those calls need to be changed to ufs_put_page() calls in a precursor
patch to this one unless I'm missing something.

Any address in the page can be passed to kunmap_local() as this mask is done
internally.

I don't follow why this comment needed changing for this patch.  It probably

No, it's my fault.
I must have used "grep" on all files in fs/ufs, but I forgot to run it :-(

While at this... I'm wondering whether or not we could benefit from a WARNING 
about the use of kunmap(). I'm talking about adding this too to checkpatch.pl, 
exactly as we already have it for catching the deprecated use of kmap().

Again I think that you are not missing anything and that your suggestion 
sounds good.

I'll replace the three kunmap() + put_page() with three calls to 
ufs_put_page() in ufs_rename(). I'll do these changes in patch 3/4. Instead 
the current 3/4 patch will move ahead and become 4/4.

I know that any address can be passed and that the bitwise and is performed 
internally in kunmap_local_indexed(). This is why I've never done something 
like this in any other of my precedent conversions. 

However, I thought that Al should have had reasons to suggest to call 
kunmap_local() this way. Copy-pasted from one of his message (https://
lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y4E++JERgUMoqfjG@ZenIV/) while commenting the one patch 
old conversions:

--- begin ---

 -static inline void ufs_put_page(struct page *page)
> +inline void ufs_put_page(struct page *page, void *page_addr)
>  {
> -	kunmap(page);
> +	kunmap_local(page_addr);

Make that
	kunmap_local((void *)((unsigned long)page_addr & PAGE_MASK));
and things become much easier.

>  	put_page(page);
>  }

--- end ---

Did I misinterpret his words?
However, it's my fault again because I should have asked why :-(

Sure, the removal of the name of function is a different logical change, so 
I'll probably leave it as it was.

But this last part should be still added. Am I wrong?

We've always done multiple conversions at the same time if in the same file, 
even if they were unrelated.

I don't understand why we want to change the usual procedure. Can you please 
elaborate a bit more on this topic?

Thanks so much for finding the missing conversions and for your other comments 
and advice on this patch.

Yes, it could :-)

Since I have to submit a new version of this series, there's no problem moving 
the declaration of "page" back into the loop.

That would not have caught this issue.  Any addition of kunmap() in a patch
would have to come with a call to kmap().  (Unless they are fixing some kmap
bug I suppose.)  I'm not sure how the checkpatch.pl maintainers would feel
about this.  You can always submit a patch and find out but I would not worry
about it.

Perhaps Al did not know that kunmap_local() would take care of this for you?

You are not wrong.  Adding this is appropriate.  Just not the rest which seemed
very minor changes anyway.

The difference here is we are making a lot of changes to the
ufs_{get,put}_page() calls and all their callers and this is not part of those
changes.  So reviewing those was hard enough without looking at this more
mundane change.  But like I said it is a nit so feel free to leave it as the
change looks fine.
