To move the list iterator variable into the list_for_each_entry_*()
macro in the future it should be avoided to use the list iterator
variable after the loop body.
To *never* use the list iterator variable after the loop it was
concluded to use a separate iterator variable instead of a
found boolean [1].
This removes the need to use a found variable and simply checking if
the variable was set, can determine if the break/goto was hit.

Pull filesystem folio updates from Matthew Wilcox:
"Primarily this series converts some of the address_space operations to
take a folio instead of a page.
Notably:
- a_ops->is_partially_uptodate() takes a folio instead of a page and
changes the type of the 'from' and 'count' arguments to make it
obvious they're bytes.
- a_ops->invalidatepage() becomes ->invalidate_folio() and has a
similar type change.
- a_ops->launder_page() becomes ->launder_folio()
- a_ops->set_page_dirty() becomes ->dirty_folio() and adds the
address_space as an argument.
There are a couple of other misc changes up front that weren't worth
separating into their own pull request"

The bdi congestion tracking in not widely used and will be removed.
NFS is one of a small number of filesystems that uses it, setting just
the async (write) congestion flag at what it determines are appropriate
times.
The only remaining effect of the async flag is to cause (some)
WB_SYNC_NONE writes to be skipped.
So instead of setting the flag, set an internal flag and change:
- .writepages to do nothing if WB_SYNC_NONE and the flag is set
- .writepage to return AOP_WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE if WB_SYNC_NONE and the
flag is set.
The writepages change causes a behavioural change in that pageout() can
now return PAGE_ACTIVATE instead of PAGE_KEEP, so SetPageActive() will be
called on the page which (I think) wil further delay the next attempt at
writeout. This might be a good thing.

The concern is that since nfsiod is sometimes required to kick off a

of failing gracefully and leaving the commit until later.
Try to allocate from the slab first, with GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY,
then fall back to a non-blocking attempt to allocate from the memory

In the very rare case where the readdir reply contains multiple cookies
that map to the same hash value, we can end up deadlocking waiting for a

The commit handling code is not safe against memory-pressure deadlocks
when writing to swap. In particular, nfs_commitdata_alloc() blocks
indefinitely waiting for memory, and this can consume all available
workqueue threads.
swap-out most likely uses STABLE writes anyway as COND_STABLE indicates
that a stable write should be used if the write fits in a single
request, and it normally does. However if we ever swap with a small
wsize, or gather unusually large numbers of pages for a single write,
this might change.
For safety, make it explicit in the code that direct writes used for swap
must always use FLUSH_STABLE.

1/ Taking the i_rwsem for swap IO triggers lockdep warnings regarding
possible deadlocks with "fs_reclaim". These deadlocks could, I believe,
eventuate if a buffered read on the swapfile was attempted.
We don't need coherence with the page cache for a swap file, and
buffered writes are forbidden anyway. There is no other need for
i_rwsem during direct IO. So never take it for swap_rw()
2/ generic_write_checks() explicitly forbids writes to swap, and
performs checks that are not needed for swap. So bypass it
for swap_rw().

rpc tasks can be marked as RPC_TASK_SWAPPER. This causes GFP_MEMALLOC
to be used for some allocations. This is needed in some cases, but not
in all where it is currently provided, and in some where it isn't
provided.
Currently *all* tasks associated with a rpc_client on which swap is
enabled get the flag and hence some GFP_MEMALLOC support.
GFP_MEMALLOC is provided for ->buf_alloc() but only swap-writes need it.
However xdr_alloc_bvec does not get GFP_MEMALLOC - though it often does
need it.
xdr_alloc_bvec is called while the XPRT_LOCK is held. If this blocks,
then it blocks all other queued tasks. So this allocation needs
GFP_MEMALLOC for *all* requests, not just writes, when the xprt is used
for any swap writes.
Similarly, if the transport is not connected, that will block all
requests including swap writes, so memory allocations should get
GFP_MEMALLOC if swap writes are possible.
So with this patch:
1/ we ONLY set RPC_TASK_SWAPPER for swap writes.
2/ __rpc_execute() sets PF_MEMALLOC while handling any task
with RPC_TASK_SWAPPER set, or when handling any task that
holds the XPRT_LOCKED lock on an xprt used for swap.
This removes the need for the RPC_IS_SWAPPER() test
in ->buf_alloc handlers.
3/ xprt_prepare_transmit() sets PF_MEMALLOC after locking
any task to a swapper xprt. __rpc_execute() will clear it.
3/ PF_MEMALLOC is set for all the connect workers.

NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS is only used for READ requests.
It sets RPC_TASK_SWAPPER which gives some memory-allocation priority to
requests. This is not needed for swap READ - though it is for writes
where it is set via a different mechanism.
RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS causes the 'machine' credential to be used.
This is not needed as the root credential is saved when the swap file is
opened, and this is used for all IO.
So NFS_RPC_SWAPFLAGS isn't needed, and as it is the only user of
RPC_TASK_ROOTCREDS, that isn't needed either.
Remove both.

Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>

Instead of using a linear index to address the pages, use the cookie of
the first entry, since that is what we use to match the page anyway.
This allows us to avoid re-reading the entire cache on a seekdir() type
of operation. The latter is very common when re-exporting NFS, and is a
major performance drain.
The change does affect our duplicate cookie detection, since we can no
longer rely on the page index as a linear offset for detecting whether
we looped backwards. However since we no longer do a linear search
through all the pages on each call to nfs_readdir(), this is less of a
concern than it was previously.
The other downside is that invalidate_mapping_pages() no longer can use
the page index to avoid clearing pages that have been read. A subsequent
patch will restore the functionality this provides to the 'ls -l'
heuristic.

readdirplus attribute info, just set the 'dircount' field to the same
value as the 'maxcount' field.

If attribute caching is turned off, then use of readdirplus is not going
to help stat() performance.
Readdirplus also doesn't help if a file is being written to, since we
will have to flush those writes in order to sync the mtime/ctime.

The heuristic for readdirplus is designed to try to detect 'ls -l' and
similar patterns. It does so by looking for cache hit/miss patterns in
both the attribute cache and in the dcache of the files in a given
directory, and then sets a flag for the readdirplus code to interpret.
The problem with this approach is that a single attribute or dcache miss
can cause the NFS code to force a refresh of the attributes for the
entire set of files contained in the directory.
To be able to make a more nuanced decision, let's sample the number of
hits and misses in the set of open directory descriptors. That allows us
to set thresholds at which we start preferring READDIRPLUS over regular
READDIR, or at which we start to force a re-read of the remaining
readdir cache using READDIRPLUS.

When reading a very large directory, we want to try to keep the page
cache up to date if doing so is inexpensive. With the change to allow
readdir to continue reading even when the cache is incomplete, we no
longer need to fall back to uncached readdir in order to scale to large
directories.

Recent changes to readdir mean that we can cope with partially filled
page cache entries, so we no longer need to rely on looping in
nfs_readdir_xdr_to_array().

Ensure that if the cookie verifier changes when we use the zero-valued
cookie, then we invalidate any cached pages.

The current NFS readdir code will always try to maximise the amount of
readahead it performs on the assumption that we can cache anything that
isn't immediately read by the process.
There are several cases where this assumption breaks down, including
when the 'ls -l' heuristic kicks in to try to force use of readdirplus
as a batch replacement for lookup/getattr.
This patch therefore tries to tone down the amount of readahead we
perform, and adjust it to try to match the amount of data being
requested by user space.

When we hit the end of the data in the readdir page, we don't want to
start filling a new page, unless this one is full.

If the page cache entry that was last read gets invalidated for some
reason, then make sure we can re-create it on the next call to readdir.
This, combined with the cache page validation, allows us to reuse the
cached value of page-index on successive calls to nfs_readdir.
Credit is due to Benjamin Coddington for showing that the concept works,
and that it allows for improved cache sharing between processes even in
the case where pages are lost due to LRU or active invalidation.
