Subject: [PATCH v5 0/8] make statx() return DIO alignment information

This patchset makes the statx() system call return direct I/O (DIO)
alignment information. This allows userspace to easily determine
whether a file supports DIO, and if so with what alignment restrictions.

Patch 1 adds the basic VFS support for STATX_DIOALIGN. Patch 2 wires it
up for all block device files. The remaining patches wire it up for
regular files on ext4, f2fs, and xfs. Support for regular files on
other filesystems can be added later.

I've also written a man-pages patch, which I sent separately:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Note, f2fs has a corner case where DIO reads are allowed but not DIO
writes. The proposed statx fields can't represent this. The current
proposal just reports that DIO is unsupported in this case.

This patchset applies to v6.0-rc2.

Changed in v5:
- Accounted for the DIO changes in 6.0 by setting dio_mem_align to
the DMA alignment instead of the logical block size where needed.

- Dropped the patch "f2fs: don't allow DIO reads but not DIO writes".

- Added some Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags.

Changed in v4:
- Added xfs support.

- Moved the helper function for block devices into block/bdev.c.

- Adjusted the ext4 patch to not introduce a bug where misaligned DIO
starts being allowed on encrypted files when it gets combined with
the patch "iomap: add support for dma aligned direct-io" that is
queued in the block tree for 5.20.

- Made a simplification in fscrypt_dio_supported().

Changed in v3:
- Dropped the stx_offset_align_optimal field, since its purpose
wasn't clearly distinguished from the existing stx_blksize.

- Renamed STATX_IOALIGN to STATX_DIOALIGN, to reflect the new focus
on DIO only.

- Similarly, renamed stx_{mem,offset}_align_dio to
stx_dio_{mem,offset}_align, to reflect the new focus on DIO only.

- Wired up STATX_DIOALIGN on block device files.

Changed in v2:
- No changes.

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/8] statx: add direct I/O alignment information

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Traditionally, the conditions for when DIO (direct I/O) is supported
were fairly simple. For both block devices and regular files, DIO had
to be aligned to the logical block size of the block device.

However, due to filesystem features that have been added over time (e.g.
multi-device support, data journalling, inline data, encryption, verity,
compression, checkpoint disabling, log-structured mode), the conditions
for when DIO is allowed on a regular file have gotten increasingly
complex. Whether a particular regular file supports DIO, and with what
alignment, can depend on various file attributes and filesystem mount
options, as well as which block device(s) the file's data is located on.

Moreover, the general rule of DIO needing to be aligned to the block
device's logical block size was recently relaxed to allow user buffers
(but not file offsets) aligned to the DMA alignment instead. See
commit bf8d08532bc1 ("iomap: add support for dma aligned direct-io").

XFS has an ioctl XFS_IOC_DIOINFO that exposes DIO alignment information.
Uplifting this to the VFS is one possibility. However, as discussed
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/[email protected]/T/#u),
this ioctl is rarely used and not known to be used outside of
XFS-specific code. It was also never intended to indicate when a file
doesn't support DIO at all, nor was it intended for block devices.

Therefore, let's expose this information via statx(). Add the
STATX_DIOALIGN flag and two new statx fields associated with it:

* stx_dio_mem_align: the alignment (in bytes) required for user memory
buffers for DIO, or 0 if DIO is not supported on the file.

* stx_dio_offset_align: the alignment (in bytes) required for file
offsets and I/O segment lengths for DIO, or 0 if DIO is not supported
on the file. This will only be nonzero if stx_dio_mem_align is
nonzero, and vice versa.

Note that as with other statx() extensions, if STATX_DIOALIGN isn't set
in the returned statx struct, then these new fields won't be filled in.
This will happen if the file is neither a regular file nor a block
device, or if the file is a regular file and the filesystem doesn't
support STATX_DIOALIGN. It might also happen if the caller didn't
include STATX_DIOALIGN in the request mask, since statx() isn't required
to return unrequested information.

This commit only adds the VFS-level plumbing for STATX_DIOALIGN. For
regular files, individual filesystems will still need to add code to
support it. For block devices, a separate commit will wire it up too.

Subject: [PATCH v5 3/8] fscrypt: change fscrypt_dio_supported() to prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

To prepare for STATX_DIOALIGN support, make two changes to
fscrypt_dio_supported().

First, remove the filesystem-block-alignment check and make the
filesystems handle it instead. It previously made sense to have it in
fs/crypto/; however, to support STATX_DIOALIGN the alignment restriction
would have to be returned to filesystems. It ends up being simpler if
filesystems handle this part themselves, especially for f2fs which only
allows fs-block-aligned DIO in the first place.

Second, make fscrypt_dio_supported() work on inodes whose encryption key
hasn't been set up yet, by making it set up the key if needed. This is
required for statx(), since statx() doesn't require a file descriptor.

f2fs only allows direct I/O that is aligned to the filesystem block

the redundant call to block_unaligned_IO().

Subject: [PATCH v5 7/8] f2fs: support STATX_DIOALIGN

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

Add support for STATX_DIOALIGN to f2fs, so that direct I/O alignment
restrictions are exposed to userspace in a generic way.

Subject: [PATCH v5 5/8] f2fs: move f2fs_force_buffered_io() into file.c

From: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>

f2fs_force_buffered_io() is only used in file.c, so move it into there.
No behavior change. This makes it easier to review later patches.

Looks good to me; I particularly like the adjustment to report the
device's DMA alignment. Someone should probably fix DIONINFO, or
perhaps turn it into a getattr wrapper and hoist it? IMHO none of those
suggestions are necessary to land this patch, though.

Al, any thoughts on this patchset, and do you plan to apply it for 6.1? Ideally
this would go through the VFS tree. If not, I suppose I'll need to have it
added to linux-next and send the pull request myself.
