fs/buffer: remove __breadahead_gfp()
Patch series "fs/buffer: remove ll_rw_block()", v2. ll_rw_block() will skip locked buffer before submitting IO, it assumes that locked buffer means it is under IO. This assumption is not always true because we cannot guarantee every buffer lock path would submit IO. After commit 88dbcbb3 ("blkdev: avoid migration stalls for blkdev pages"), buffer_migrate_folio_norefs() becomes one exceptional case, and there may be others. So ll_rw_block() is not safe on the sync read path, we could get false positive EIO return value when filesystem reading metadata. It seems that it could be only used on the readahead path. Unfortunately, many filesystem misuse the ll_rw_block() on the sync read path. This patch set just remove ll_rw_block() and add new friendly helpers, which could prevent false positive EIO on the read metadata path. Thanks for the suggestion from Jan, the original discussion is at [1]. patch 1: remove unused helpers in fs/buffer.c patch 2: add new bh_read_[*] helpers patch 3-11: remove all ll_rw_block() calls in filesystems patch 12-14: do some leftover cleanups. [1]. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20220825080146.2021641-1-chengzhihao1@huawei.com/ This patch (of 14): No one use __breadahead_gfp() and sb_breadahead_unmovable() any more, remove them.
