Ryusuke Konishi 49d80141af nilfs2: move page release outside of nilfs_delete_entry and nilfs_set_link
commit 584db20c181f5e28c0386d7987406ace7fbd3e49 upstream.

Patch series "nilfs2: Folio conversions for directory paths".

This series applies page->folio conversions to nilfs2 directory
operations.  This reduces hidden compound_head() calls and also converts
deprecated kmap calls to kmap_local in the directory code.

Although nilfs2 does not yet support large folios, Matthew has done his
best here to include support for large folios, which will be needed for
devices with large block sizes.

This series corresponds to the second half of the original post [1], but
with two complementary patches inserted at the beginning and some
adjustments, to prevent a kmap_local constraint violation found during
testing with highmem mapping.

[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20231106173903.1734114-1-willy@infradead.org

I have reviewed all changes and tested this for regular and small block
sizes, both on machines with and without highmem mapping.  No issues
found.


This patch (of 17):

In a few directory operations, the call to nilfs_put_page() for a page
obtained using nilfs_find_entry() or nilfs_dotdot() is hidden in
nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry(), making it difficult to track
page release and preventing change of its call position.

By moving nilfs_put_page() out of these functions, this makes the page
get/put correspondence clearer and makes it easier to swap
nilfs_put_page() calls (and kunmap calls within them) when modifying
multiple directory entries simultaneously in nilfs_rename().

Also, update comments for nilfs_set_link() and nilfs_delete_entry() to
reflect changes in their behavior.

To make nilfs_put_page() visible from namei.c, this moves its definition
to nilfs.h and replaces existing equivalents to use it, but the exposure
of that definition is temporary and will be removed on a later kmap ->
kmap_local conversion.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
