From: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@xxxxxxxxxxx> This is the eight version of the series that enables block size > page size (Large Block Size) in XFS. The context and motivation can be seen in cover letter of the RFC v1 [0]. We also recorded a talk about this effort at LPC [1], if someone would like more context on this effort. A lot of emphasis has been put on testing using kdevops, starting with an XFS baseline [3]. The testing has been split into regression and progression. Regression testing: In regression testing, we ran the whole test suite to check for regressions on existing profiles due to the page cache changes. I also ran split_huge_page_test selftest on XFS filesystem to check for huge page splits in min order chunks is done correctly. No regressions were found with these patches added on top. Progression testing: For progression testing, we tested for 8k, 16k, 32k and 64k block sizes. To compare it with existing support, an ARM VM with 64k base page system (without our patches) was used as a reference to check for actual failures due to LBS support in a 4k base page size system. There are some tests that assumes block size < page size that needs to be fixed. We have a tree with fixes for xfstests [4], most of the changes have been posted already, and only a few minor changes need to be posted. Already part of these changes has been upstreamed to fstests, and new tests have also been written and are out for review, namely for mmap zeroing-around corner cases, compaction and fsstress races on mm, and stress testing folio truncation on file mapped folios. No new failures were found with the LBS support. We've done some preliminary performance tests with fio on XFS on 4k block size against pmem and NVMe with buffered IO and Direct IO on vanilla Vs + these patches applied, and detected no regressions. We also wrote an eBPF tool called blkalgn [5] to see if IO sent to the device is aligned and at least filesystem block size in length. For those who want this in a git tree we have this up on a kdevops large-block-minorder-for-next-v8 tag [6].

We've determined and reported that the 55 critical issues have all fall into 5 common XFS asserts or hung tasks and 2 memory management asserts.
