Somehow we're getting a page which has a different mapping.
Let's avoid the infinite loop.

How about using such logic only for move_data_page() to limit affect for
other paths?

Why move_data_page() only? If this happens, we'll fall into a loop in anywhere?


Jaegeuk, any thoughts about why mapping is mismatch in between page's one and
inode->i_mapping?


After several times code review, I didn't get any clue about why f2fs always
get the different mapping in a loop.

I couldn't find the path to happen this. So weird. Please check the history in the
bug.


Maybe we can loop MM guys to check whether below folio_file_page() may return
page which has different mapping?

Matthew may have some idea on this?

There's a lot of comments in the bug ... hard to come into this one
cold.

I did notice this one (#119):
: Interestingly, ref count is 514, which looks suspiciously as a binary
: flag 1000000010. Is it possible that during 5.17/5.18 implementation
: of a "pin", somehow binary flag was written to ref count, or something
: like '1 << ...' happens?

That indicates to me that somehow you've got hold of a THP that is in
the page cache. Probably shmem/tmpfs. That indicate to me a refcount
problem that looks something like this:

f2fs allocates a page
f2fs adds the page to the page cache
f2fs puts the reference to the page without removing it from the
page cache (how?)

Is it somewhat related to setting a bit in private field?

IIUC, it looks the page reference is added/removed as pair.


When we migrate the blocks, we do:
1) get_lock_page()

- f2fs_grab_cache_page
- pagecache_get_page
- __filemap_get_folio
- no_page -> filemap_alloc_folio page_ref = 1 (referenced by caller)
- filemap_add_folio page_ref = 2 (referenced by radix tree)

2) submit read
3) lock_page()
3) set_page_dirty()
4) set_page_private_gcing(page)

page_ref = 3 (reference by private data)


--- in fs/f2fs/f2fs.h
1409 #define PAGE_PRIVATE_SET_FUNC(name, flagname) \
1410 static inline void set_page_private_##name(struct page *page) \
1411 { \
1412 if (!PagePrivate(page)) { \
1413 get_page(page); \
1414 SetPagePrivate(page); \
1415 set_page_private(page, 0); \
1416 } \
1417 set_bit(PAGE_PRIVATE_NOT_POINTER, &page_private(page)); \
1418 set_bit(PAGE_PRIVATE_##flagname, &page_private(page)); \
1419 }


5) set_page_writebac()
6) submit write
7) unlock_page()
8) put_page(page)

page_ref = 2 (ref by caller was removed)


Later, f2fs_invalidate_folio will do put_page again by:
clear_page_private_gcing(&folio->page);

page_ref = 1 (ref by private was removed, and the last left ref is hold by radix tree)


--- in fs/f2fs/f2fs.h
1421 #define PAGE_PRIVATE_CLEAR_FUNC(name, flagname) \
1422 static inline void clear_page_private_##name(struct page *page) \
1423 { \
1424 clear_bit(PAGE_PRIVATE_##flagname, &page_private(page)); \
1425 if (page_private(page) == BIT(PAGE_PRIVATE_NOT_POINTER)) { \
1426 set_page_private(page, 0); \
1427 if (PagePrivate(page)) { \
1428 ClearPagePrivate(page); \

Since PagePrivate was cleared, so folio_detach_private in
f2fs_invalidate_folio()/f2fs_release_folio will just skip drop reference.

static inline void *folio_detach_private(struct folio *folio)
{
void *data = folio_get_private(folio);

if (!folio_test_private(folio))
return NULL;
folio_clear_private(folio);
folio->private = NULL;
folio_put(folio);

return data;
}

Or am I missing something?

Ah, I missed folio_test_private() tho, can we really expect get_page(),
SetPagePrivate(), and set_page_private() is in pair with folio_detach_private()?

I guess we are trying to maintain PagePrivate and page_private w/
inner {set,clear}_page_private_* functions, if they are called in paired correctly,
we don't need to call folio_detach_private() additionally in .release_folio and
.invalid_folio, right? Otherwise there must be a bug.

Agreed.


In this patch, I use bug_on to instead folio_detach_private().
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/20230410022418.1843178-1-chao@xxxxxxxxxx/

In this patch, I use {attach,detach}_page_private() to clean up openned codes.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/20230410022418.1843178-2-chao@xxxxxxxxxx/

Looks like it doesn't need to apply two patches,

Agreed,

and missed f2fs_delete_entry case as well.

Good catch, I have another patch that only clean up set_page_private(),
but I guess your below implementation covers all cases, thanks! :)

Thanks,

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: remove folio_detach_private() in .invalidate_folio and
.release_folio

We have maintain PagePrivate and page_private and page reference
w/ {set,clear}_page_private_*, it doesn't need to call
folio_detach_private() in the end of .invalidate_folio and
.release_folio, remove it and use f2fs_bug_on instead.
