When a disk is removed, bdi_unregister gets called to stop further
writeback and wait for associated delayed work to complete. However,
wb_inode_writeback_end() may schedule bandwidth estimation dwork after
this has completed, which can result in the timer attempting to access the
just freed bdi_writeback.
Fix this by checking if the bdi_writeback is alive, similar to when
scheduling writeback work.
Since this requires wb->work_lock, and wb_inode_writeback_end() may get
called from interrupt, switch wb->work_lock to an irqsafe lock.

This adds the helper function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags().
It adds the parameter flags to balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().
The flags parameter is passed to balance_dirty_pages(). For async
buffered writes the flag value will be BDP_ASYNC.
If balance_dirty_pages() gets called for async buffered write, we don't
want to wait. Instead we need to indicate to the caller that throttling
is needed so that it can stop writing and offload the rest of the write
to a context that can block.
The new helper function is also used by balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited().

Transition of wb->dirty_exceeded from 0 to 1 happens before we go to
sleep in balance_dirty_pages() while transition from 1 to 0 happens when
exiting from balance_dirty_pages(), possibly based on old values. This
does not make a lot of sense since wb->dirty_exceeded should simply
reflect whether wb is over dirty limit and so we should ratelimit
entering to balance_dirty_pages() less. Move the two updates together.

We start background writeback if we are over background threshold after
exiting the main loop in balance_dirty_pages(). This may result in
basing the decision on already stale values (we may have slept for
significant amount of time) and it is also inconvenient for refactoring
needed for async dirty throttling. Move the check into the main waiting
loop.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.
To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just
care about the core logic.
So move the page-writeback sysctls to its own file.

filemap_unaccount_folio() has a WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_dirty(folio)). It
is good to warn of late dirtying on a persistent filesystem, but late
dirtying on tmpfs can only lose data which is expected to be thrown away;
and it's a pity if that warning comes ONCE on tmpfs, then hides others
which really matter. Make it conditional on mapping_cap_writeback().
Cleanup: then folio_account_cleaned() no longer needs to check that for
itself, and so no longer needs to know the mapping.

Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying
a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were
probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else.
This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on
the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of
the same thin air but better values may be derived
Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and
tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate
value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as
excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout.
Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur
before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a
lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the
congestion state is not updated for all BDIs.
This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback
that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no
correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but
that is still better than congestion_wait.

Transform write_one_page() into folio_write_one() and add a compatibility
wrapper. Also move the declaration to pagemap.h as this is page cache
functionality that doesn't need to be used by the rest of the kernel.
Saves 58 bytes of kernel text. While folio_write_one() is 101 bytes
smaller than write_one_page(), the inlined call to page_folio() expands
each caller. There are fewer than ten callers so it doesn't seem worth
putting a wrapper in the core.

Reimplement __set_page_dirty_nobuffers() as a wrapper around
filemap_dirty_folio(). Eventually folio_mark_dirty() will pass
the folio's mapping to the address space's ->dirty_folio()
operation, so add the parameter to filemap_dirty_folio() now.

Reimplement set_page_dirty() as a wrapper around folio_mark_dirty().
There is no change to filesystems as they were already being called
with the compound_head of the page being marked dirty. We avoid
several calls to compound_head(), both statically (through
using folio_test_dirty() instead of PageDirty() and dynamically by
calling folio_mapping() instead of page_mapping().
Also return bool instead of int to show the range of values actually
returned, and add kernel-doc.

Rename set_page_writeback() to folio_start_writeback() to match
folio_end_writeback(). Do not bother with wrappers that return void;
callers are perfectly capable of ignoring return values.
Add wrappers for set_page_writeback(), set_page_writeback_keepwrite() and
test_set_page_writeback() for compatibililty with existing filesystems.
The main advantage of this patch is getting the statistics right,
although it does eliminate a couple of calls to compound_head().

test_clear_page_writeback() is actually an mm-internal function, although
it's named as if it's a pagecache function. Move it to mm/internal.h,
rename it to __folio_end_writeback() and change the return type to bool.
The conversion from page to folio is mostly about accounting the number
of pages being written back, although it does eliminate a couple of
calls to compound_head().

When batching events (such as writing back N pages in a single I/O), it
is better to do one flex_proportion operation instead of N. There is

wait_on_page_writeback_killable() only has one caller, so convert it to
call folio_wait_writeback_killable(). For the wait_on_page_writeback()
callers, add a compatibility wrapper around folio_wait_writeback().
Turning PageWriteback() into folio_test_writeback() eliminates a call
to compound_head() which saves 8 bytes and 15 bytes in the two
functions. Unfortunately, that is more than offset by adding the
wait_on_page_writeback compatibility wrapper for a net increase in text
of 7 bytes.

We do some unlocked reads of writeback statistics like
avg_write_bandwidth, dirty_ratelimit, or bw_time_stamp. Generally we are
fine with getting somewhat out-of-date values but actually getting
different values in various parts of the functions because the compiler
decided to reload value from original memory location could confuse
calculations. Use READ_ONCE for these unlocked accesses and WRITE_ONCE
for the updates to be on the safe side.

Michael Stapelberg has reported that for workload with short big spikes of
writes (GCC linker seem to trigger this frequently) the write throughput
is heavily underestimated and tends to steadily sink until it reaches
zero. This has rather bad impact on writeback throttling (causing
stalls). The problem is that writeback throughput estimate gets updated
at most once per 200 ms. One update happens early after we submit pages
for writeback (at that point writeout of only small fraction of pages is
completed and thus observed throughput is tiny). Next update happens only
during the next write spike (updates happen only from inode writeback and
dirty throttling code) and if that is more than 1s after previous spike,
we decide system was idle and just ignore whatever was written until this
moment.
Fix the problem by making sure writeback throughput estimate is also
updated shortly after writeback completes to get reasonable estimate of
throughput for spiky workloads.

Currently we trigger writeback bandwidth estimation from
balance_dirty_pages() and from wb_writeback(). However neither of these
need to trigger when the system is relatively idle and writeback is
triggered e.g. from fsync(2). Make sure writeback estimates happen
reliably by triggering them from do_writepages().

Patch series "writeback: Fix bandwidth estimates", v4.
Fix estimate of writeback throughput when device is not fully busy doing
writeback. Michael Stapelberg has reported that such workload (e.g.
generated by linking) tends to push estimated throughput down to 0 and as
a result writeback on the device is practically stalled.
The first three patches fix the reported issue, the remaining two patches
are unrelated cleanups of problems I've noticed when reading the code.
This patch (of 4):
Track number of inodes under writeback for each bdi_writeback structure.
We will use this to decide whether wb does any IO and so we can estimate
its writeback throughput. In principle we could use number of pages under
writeback (WB_WRITEBACK counter) for this however normal percpu counter
reads are too inaccurate for our purposes and summing the counter is too
expensive.

Don't leak the detaіls of the timer into the block layer, instead
initialize the timer in bdi_alloc and delete it in bdi_unregister.
Note that this means the timer is initialized (but not armed) for

Use __set_page_dirty_no_writeback() instead. This will set the dirty bit
on the page, which will be used to avoid calling set_page_dirty() in the
future. It will have no effect on actually writing the page back, as the
pages are not on any LRU lists.
