Subject: nilfs2: prepare backing device folios for writing after adding checksums
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2024 01:00:28 +0900

Patch series "nilfs2: eliminate the call to inode_attach_wb()".

This series eliminates the inode_attach_wb() call from nilfs2, which was
introduced as a workaround for a kernel bug but is suspected of layer
violation (in fact, it is undesirable since it exposes a reference to the
backing device).

Removal of the inode_attach_wb() call is done by simply using
mark_buffer_dirty() on the backing device's buffers.  To use it safely,
this series will prepare it in patch 1/2, and perform the replacement
itself in patch 2/2.


This patch (of 2):

In preparation for inode_attach_wb(), which is currently called when
attaching the log writer, to be done via mark_buffer_dirty(), change the
order of preparation for log writing.

Specifically, the function call that adds checksums to segment summary and
super root blocks, which correspond to the log header and trailer, is made
before starting writeback of folios containing those blocks.

The current steps are as follows:

1. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
2. Put the folios of data blocks, metadata file blocks, and btree node
   blocks (collectively called payload blocks) into writeback state.
3. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.
4. Add checksums.

Change these as follows:

1. Put the folios of payload blocks in writeback state.
2. Add checksums.
3. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
4. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.

In this order, the contents of segment summaries and super root block
that directly use buffer/folio of the backing device can be determined
including the addition of checksums, before preparing to write.

Step (1), which puts the payload block folios in writeback state, is
performed first because if there are memory-mapped data blocks, a valid
checksum can only be calculated after step (1).
