mm: support order-1 folios in the page cache
Folios of order 1 have no space to store the deferred list. This is not a
problem for the page cache as file-backed folios are never placed on the
deferred list. All we need to do is prevent the core MM from touching the
deferred list for order 1 folios and remove the code which prevented us
from allocating order 1 folios.

mm/readahead: do not allow order-1 folio
The THP machinery does not support order-1 folios because it requires meta
data spanning the first 3 `struct page`s. So order-2 is the smallest
large folio that we can safely create.
There was a theoretical bug whereby if ra->size was 2 or 3 pages (due to
the device-specific bdi->ra_pages being set that way), we could end up
with order = 1. Fix this by unconditionally checking if the preferred
order is 1 and if so, set it to 0. Previously this was done in a few
specific places, but with this refactoring it is done just once,
unconditionally, at the end of the calculation.
This is a theoretical bug found during review of the code; I have no
evidence to suggest this manifests in the real world (I expect all
device-specific ra_pages values are much bigger than 3).

mm/readahead: limit page cache size in page_cache_ra_order()
In page_cache_ra_order(), the maximal order of the page cache to be
allocated shouldn't be larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. Otherwise, it's
possible the large page cache can't be supported by xarray when the
corresponding xarray entry is split.
For example, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 on ARM64 when the base page size is
64KB. The PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray.

readahead: use ilog2 instead of a while loop in page_cache_ra_order()
A while loop is used to adjust the new_order to be lower than the
ra->size. ilog2 could be used to do the same instead of using a loop.
ilog2 typically resolves to a bit scan reverse instruction. This is
particularly useful when ra->size is smaller than the 2^new_order as it
resolves in one instruction instead of looping to find the new_order.
No functional changes.

Allow callers of __filemap_get_folio() to specify a preferred folio
order in the FGP flags. This is only honoured in the FGP_CREATE path;
if there is already a folio in the page cache that covers the index,
we will return it, no matter what its order is. No create-around is
attempted; we will only create folios which start at the specified index.
Unmodified callers will continue to allocate order 0 folios.

readahead: avoid multiple marked readahead pages
ra_alloc_folio() marks a page that should trigger next round of async
readahead. However it rounds up computed index to the order of page being
allocated. This can however lead to multiple consecutive pages being
marked with readahead flag. Consider situation with index == 1, mark ==
1, order == 0. We insert order 0 page at index 1 and mark it. Then we
bump order to 1, index to 2, mark (still == 1) is rounded up to 2 so page
at index 2 is marked as well. Then we bump order to 2, index is
incremented to 4, mark gets rounded to 4 so page at index 4 is marked as
well. The fact that multiple pages get marked within a single readahead
window confuses the readahead logic and results in readahead window being
trimmed back to 1. This situation is triggered in particular when maximum
readahead window size is not a power of two (in the observed case it was
768 KB) and as a result sequential read throughput suffers.
Fix the problem by rounding 'mark' down instead of up. Because the index
is naturally aligned to 'order', we are guaranteed 'rounded mark' == index
iff 'mark' is within the page we are allocating at 'index' and thus
exactly one page is marked with readahead flag as required by the
readahead code and sequential read performance is restored.
This effectively reverts part of commit b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix
readahead with large folios"). The commit changed the rounding with the
rationale:
"... we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which contains the
last byte read from the block. This is wrong because we will trigger
readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see if a subsequent
read is going to use the pages we just read."
Although this is true, the fact is this was always the case with read
sizes not aligned to folio boundaries and large folios in the page cache
just make the situation more obvious (and frequent). Also for sequential
read workloads it is better to trigger the readahead earlier rather than
later. It is true that the difference in the rounding and thus earlier
triggering of the readahead can result in reading more for semi-random
workloads. However workloads really suffering from this seem to be rare.
In particular I have verified that the workload described in commit
b9ff43dd2743 ("mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios") of reading
random 100k blocks from a file like:
[reader]
bs=100k
rw=randread
numjobs=1
size=64g
runtime=60s
is not impacted by the rounding change and achieves ~70MB/s in both cases.
[jack@suse.cz: fix one more place where mark rounding was done as well]

mm: add PSI accounting around ->read_folio and ->readahead calls
PSI tries to account for the cost of bringing back in pages discarded by
the MM LRU management. Currently the prime place for that is hooked into
the bio submission path, which is a rather bad place:
- it does not actually account I/O for non-block file systems, of which
we have many
- it adds overhead and a layering violation to the block layer
Add the accounting into the two places in the core MM code that read
pages into an address space by calling into ->read_folio and ->readahead
so that the entire file system operations are covered, to broaden
the coverage and allow removing the accounting in the block layer going
forward.
As psi_memstall_enter can deal with nested calls this will not lead to
double accounting even while the bio annotations are still present.

If ->readpages doesn't process all the pages, then it is best to act as
though they weren't requested so that a subsequent readahead can try
again.
So:
- remove any 'ahead' pages from the page cache so they can be loaded
with ->readahead() rather then multiple ->read()s
- update the file_ra_state to reflect the reads that were actually
submitted.
This allows ->readpages() to abort early due e.g. to congestion, which
will then allow us to remove the inode_read_congested() test from
page_Cache_async_ra().

mm: document and polish read-ahead code
Add some "big-picture" documentation for read-ahead and polish the code
to make it fit this documentation.
The meaning of ->async_size is clarified to match its name. i.e. Any
request to ->readahead() has a sync part and an async part. The caller
will wait for the sync pages to complete, but will not wait for the
async pages. The first async page is still marked PG_readahead
Note that the current function names page_cache_sync_ra() and
page_cache_async_ra() are misleading. All ra request are partly sync
and partly async, so either part can be empty. A page_cache_sync_ra()
request will usually set ->async_size non-zero, implying it is not all
synchronous.
When a non-zero req_count is passed to page_cache_async_ra(), the
implication is that some prefix of the request is synchronous, though
the calculation made there is incorrect - I haven't tried to fix it.

filemap: Fix serialization adding transparent huge pages to page cache
Commit 793917d997df ("mm/readahead: Add large folio readahead")
introduced support for using large folios for filebacked pages if the
filesystem supports it.
page_cache_ra_order() was introduced to allocate and add these large
folios to the page cache. However adding pages to the page cache should
be serialized against truncation and hole punching by taking
invalidate_lock. Not doing so can lead to data races resulting in stale
data getting added to the page cache and marked up-to-date. See commit
730633f0b7f9 ("mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with
invalidate_lock") for more details.
This issue was found by inspection but a testcase revealed it was
possible to observe in practice on XFS. Fix this by taking
invalidate_lock in page_cache_ra_order(), to mirror what is done for the
non-thp case in page_cache_ra_unbounded().

mm/readahead: Fix readahead with large folios
Reading 100KB chunks from a big file (eg dd bs=100K) leads to poor
readahead behaviour. Studying the traces in detail, I noticed two
problems.
The first is that we were setting the readahead flag on the folio which
contains the last byte read from the block. This is wrong because we
will trigger readahead at the end of the read without waiting to see
if a subsequent read is going to use the pages we just read. Instead,
we need to set the readahead flag on the first folio _after_ the one
which contains the last byte that we're reading.
The second is that we were looking for the index of the folio with the
readahead flag set to exactly match the start + size - async_size.
If we've rounded this, either down (as previously) or up (as now),
we'll think we hit a folio marked as readahead by a different read,
and try to read the wrong pages. So round the expected index to the
order of the folio we hit.

mm: Protect operations adding pages to page cache with invalidate_lock
Currently, serializing operations such as page fault, read, or readahead
against hole punching is rather difficult. The basic race scheme is
like:
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) read / fault / ..
truncate_inode_pages_range()
<create pages in page
cache here>
<update fs block mapping and free blocks>
Now the problem is in this way read / page fault / readahead can
instantiate pages in page cache with potentially stale data (if blocks
get quickly reused). Avoiding this race is not simple - page locks do
not work because we want to make sure there are *no* pages in given
range. inode->i_rwsem does not work because page fault happens under
mmap_sem which ranks below inode->i_rwsem. Also using it for reads makes
the performance for mixed read-write workloads suffer.
So create a new rw_semaphore in the address_space - invalidate_lock -
that protects adding of pages to page cache for page faults / reads /
readahead.

For the case where read-ahead is disabled on the file, or if the cgroup
is congested, ensure that we can at least do 1 page of read-ahead to
make progress on the read in an async fashion. This could potentially be
larger, but it's not needed in terms of functionality, so let's error on
the side of caution as larger counts of pages may run into reclaim
issues (particularly if we're congested).
This makes sure we're not hitting the potentially sync ->readpage() path
for IO that is marked IOCB_WAITQ, which could cause us to block. It also
means we'll use the same path for IO, regardless of whether or not
read-ahead happens to be disabled on the lower level device.

Patch series "Readahead patches for 5.9/5.10".
These are infrastructure for both the THP patchset and for the fscache
rewrite,
For both pieces of infrastructure being build on top of this patchset, we
want the ractl to be available higher in the call-stack.
For David's work, he wants to add the 'critical page' to the ractl so that
he knows which page NEEDS to be brought in from storage, and which ones
are nice-to-have. We might want something similar in block storage too.
It used to be simple -- the first page was the critical one, but then mmap
added fault-around and so for that usecase, the middle page is the
critical one. Anyway, I don't have any code to show that yet, we just
know that the lowest point in the callchain where we have that information
is do_sync_mmap_readahead() and so the ractl needs to start its life
there.
For THP, we havew the code that needs it. It's actually the apex patch to
the series; the one which finally starts to allocate THPs and present them
to consenting filesystems:
