v4 cover ext4: Add atomic writes support for DIO

v3 -> v4:
=========
1. Patch-1 changes the helper function from ext4_can_atomic_write() to ext4_inode_can_atomic_write() based on suggestions from Darrick and John. Patch-3 then goes and uses it.
2. Patch-4 adds an inline helper ext4_want_directio_fallback() which simplifies the logic checks and inherently fixes condition on when to return -ENOTBLK which otherwise was always returning true for any write or directio in ext4_iomap_end(). It was ok since ext4 only supports direct-io via iomap.
[v3]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/[email protected]/

(Note as mentioned below as well this is built on top of John XFS atomic series [2]) [2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/[email protected]/

v2 -> v3:
==========
1. Patch-1 adds an "experimental" string in dmesg log during mount when EXT4 detects that it is capable of doing DIO atomic writes on a given device with min and max unit details.
2. Patch-4 has been updated to avoid returning -ENOTBLK (in ext4_iomap_end) if the request belongs to atomic write. This patch also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE() if atomic write ever fallback to buffered-io (to catch any unwanted bugs in the future). More details in the commit log of patch-4.
3. Collected RBs tag from John for Patch 2 & 3.

[v2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/[email protected]/

Previous cover letter log:

In v2, we had split the series and this one only takes care of atomic writes for single fsblock.
That means for now this gets only enabled on bs < ps systems on ext4. Enablement of atomic writes for bigalloc (multi-fsblock support) is still under discussion and may require general consensus within the filesystem community [1].

This series adds the base feature support to enable atomic writes in direct-io path for ext4. We advertise the minimum and the maximum atomic write unit sizes via statx on a regular file.

This series allows users to utilize atomic write support using -
1. on bs < ps systems via - mkfs.ext4 -F -b 16384 /dev/sda

This can then be utilized using -

	xfs_io -fdc "pwrite -V 1 -A -b16k 0 16k" /mnt/f1

This is built on top of John's DIO atomic write series for XFS [2]. The VFS and block layer enablement for atomic writes were merged already.

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/[email protected]/

Changelogs:
===========
PATCH -> PATCH v2:
- addressed review comments from John and Darrick.
- renamed ext4_sb_info variables names: fs_awu* -> s_awu*
- [PATCH]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/[email protected]/

RFC -> PATCH:
- Dropped RFC tag
- Last RFC was posted a while ago but back then a lot of VFS and block layer interfaces were still not merged. Those are now merged, thanks to John and everyone else.
- [RFC] - https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ext4/[email protected]/

This patch adds base support for atomic writes via statx getattr. On bs < ps systems, we can create FS with say bs of 16k. That means both atomic write min and max unit can be set to 16k for supporting atomic writes.

PATCH v4 2/4 ext4: Check for atomic writes support in write iter

In reply to Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

Let's validate the given constraints for atomic write request. Otherwise it will fail with -EINVAL. Currently atomic write is only supported on DIO, so for buffered-io it will return -EOPNOTSUPP.

PATCH v4 4/4 ext4: Do not fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic write

In reply to Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

atomic writes is currently only supported for single fsblock and only for direct-io. We should not return -ENOTBLK for atomic writes since we want the atomic write request to either complete fully or fail otherwise. Hence, we should never fallback to buffered-io in case of DIO atomic write requests.
Let's also catch if this ever happens by adding some WARN_ON_ONCE before buffered-io handling for direct-io atomic writes. More details of the discussion [1].

While at it let's add an inline helper ext4_want_directio_fallback() which simplifies the logic checks and inherently fixes condition on when to return -ENOTBLK which otherwise was always returning true for any write or directio in ext4_iomap_end(). It was ok since ext4 only supports direct-io via iomap.

Re: [PATCH v4 4/4] ext4: Do not fallback to buffered-io for DIO atomic write

In reply to Ritesh Harjani (IBM)
Quoted 9 lines · Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

atomic writes is currently only supported for single fsblock and only for direct-io. We should not return -ENOTBLK for atomic writes since we want the atomic write request to either complete fully or fail otherwise. Hence, we should never fallback to buffered-io in case of DIO atomic write requests.
Let's also catch if this ever happens by adding some WARN_ON_ONCE before buffered-io handling for direct-io atomic writes. More details of the discussion [1].

Quoted 7 lines

While at it let's add an inline helper ext4_want_directio_fallback() which simplifies the logic checks and inherently fixes condition on when to return -ENOTBLK which otherwise was always returning true for any write or directio in ext4_iomap_end(). It was ok since ext4 only supports direct-io via iomap.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/[email protected]/T/#m9dbecc11bed713ed0d7a486432c56b105b555f04

Looks good to me now,

Re: [PATCH v4 1/4] ext4: Add statx support for atomic writes

In reply to Ritesh Harjani (IBM)
Quoted 8 lines · Ritesh Harjani (IBM)

This patch adds base support for atomic writes via statx getattr. On bs < ps systems, we can create FS with say bs of 16k. That means both atomic write min and max unit can be set to 16k for supporting atomic writes.

Looks good to me,

Thanks John for the review!

Since as you too mentioned the remaining points are minor and not critical review comments, I will address them next time in the multi-fsblock variant. With all other aspects now finalized in this v4 version, this looks ready to be picked up for the merge window.

Yes. However I believe we might end up using this from other places when we add support of extsize. So we might need S_ISREG check. But sure let me re-think on that during the multi-fsblock variant time.
