The overall idea looks good but I think you should consider using
a thread pool to implement it. See below.

qemu_thread_create() exits on failure, it shouldn't be called on
a guest triggerable path, eg. a buggy guest could call it up to
the point that pthread_create() returns EAGAIN.
Please use a thread pool (see thread_pool_submit_aio()). This takes care
of all the thread housekeeping for you in a safe way, and it provides a
completion callback API. The implementation could then be just about
having two lists: one for pending requests (fed here) and one for
completed requests (fed by the completion callback).

With a thread-pool, you'd just need to aio_poll() until the pending list
is empty and then clear the completed list.

Like for qemu_thread_create(), the guest shouldn't be responsible for
thread housekeeping. Getting the hcall status should just be about
finding the token in the pending or completed lists.

[PATCH v3 00/11] fsdax: introduce fs query to support reflink
by Shiyang Ruan
This patchset is aimed to support shared pages tracking for fsdax.
Change from V2:
- Split 8th patch into other related to make it easy to review
- Other small fixes
Change from V1:
- Add the old memory-failure handler back for rolling back
- Add callback in MD's ->rmap() to support multiple mapping of dm device
- Add judgement for CONFIG_SYSFS
- Add pfn_valid() judgement in hwpoison_filter()
- Rebased to v5.11-rc5
This patchset moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem
device driver, by introducing an interface ->memory_failure() of struct
pagemap. This interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and
implemented by pmem device. Then pmem device calls its ->corrupted_range()
to find the filesystem which the corrupted data located in, and call
filesystem handler to track files or metadata assocaited with this page.
Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and do
other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the
files affected.
The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
pgmap->ops->memory_failure() => pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
gendisk->fops->corrupted_range() => - pmem_corrupted_range()
- md_blk_corrupted_range()
sb->s_ops->currupted_range() => xfs_fs_corrupted_range()
xfs_rmap_query_range()
xfs_currupt_helper()
* corrupted on metadata
try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
* corrupted on file data
try to recover data, call mf_dax_mapping_kill_procs()
The fsdax & reflink support for XFS is not contained in this patchset.
(Rebased on v5.11-rc5)

[PATCH v2 00/10] fsdax,xfs: Add reflink&dedupe support for fsdax
by Shiyang Ruan
This patchset is attempt to add CoW support for fsdax, and take XFS,
which has both reflink and fsdax feature, as an example.
Changes from V1:
- Factor some helper functions to simplify dax fault code
- Introduce iomap_apply2() for dax_dedupe_file_range_compare()
- Fix mistakes and other problems
- Rebased on v5.11
One of the key mechanism need to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destance
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.
Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage()
is used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to
compare data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need
another compare data with direct access support.
With the two mechanism implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.
Some of the patches are picked up from Goldwyn's patchset. I made some
changes to adapt to this patchset.

[PATCH v2 0/4] Remove nrexceptional tracking
by Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
We actually use nrexceptional for very little these days. It's a minor
pain to keep in sync with nrpages, but the pain becomes much bigger
with the THP patches because we don't know how many indices a shadow
entry occupies. It's easier to just remove it than keep it accurate.
Also, we save 8 bytes per inode which is nothing to sneeze at; on my
laptop, it would improve shmem_inode_cache from 22 to 23 objects per
16kB, and inode_cache from 26 to 27 objects. Combined, that saves
a megabyte of memory from a combined usage of 25MB for both caches.
Unfortunately, ext4 doesn't cross a magic boundary, so it doesn't save
any memory for ext4.

mm: Introduce and use mapping_empty
mm: Stop accounting shadow entries
dax: Account DAX entries as nrpages
mm: Remove nrexceptional from inode

[RFC 0/2] virtio-pmem: Asynchronous flush
by Pankaj Gupta
Jeff reported preflush order issue with the existing implementation
of virtio pmem preflush. Dan suggested[1] to implement asynchronous flush
for virtio pmem using work queue as done in md/RAID. This patch series
intends to solve the preflush ordering issue and also makes the flush
asynchronous from the submitting thread POV.
Submitting this patch series for feeback and is in WIP. I have
done basic testing and currently doing more testing.

[PATCH RFC 0/9] mm, sparse-vmemmap: Introduce compound pagemaps
by Joao Martins
Hey,
This small series, attempts at minimizing 'struct page' overhead by
pursuing a similar approach as Muchun Song series "Free some vmemmap
pages of hugetlb page"[0] but applied to devmap/ZONE_DEVICE.
[0] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201130151838.11208-1-songmuchun@byteda...
The link above describes it quite nicely, but the idea is to reuse tail
page vmemmap areas, particular the area which only describes tail pages.
So a vmemmap page describes 64 struct pages, and the first page for a given
ZONE_DEVICE vmemmap would contain the head page and 63 tail pages. The second
vmemmap page would contain only tail pages, and that's what gets reused across
the rest of the subsection/section. The bigger the page size, the bigger the
savings (2M hpage -> save 6 vmemmap pages; 1G hpage -> save 4094 vmemmap pages).
In terms of savings, per 1Tb of memory, the struct page cost would go down
with compound pagemap:
* with 2M pages we lose 4G instead of 16G (0.39% instead of 1.5% of total memory)
* with 1G pages we lose 8MB instead of 16G (0.0007% instead of 1.5% of total memory)
Along the way I've extended it past 'struct page' overhead *trying* to address a
few performance issues we knew about for pmem, specifically on the
{pin,get}_user_pages* function family with device-dax vmas which are really
slow even of the fast variants. THP is great on -fast variants but all except
hugetlbfs perform rather poorly on non-fast gup.
So to summarize what the series does:
Patches 1-5: Much like Muchun series, we reuse tail page areas across a given
page size (namely @align was referred by remaining memremap/dax code) and
enabling of memremap to initialize the ZONE_DEVICE pages as compound pages or a
given @align order. The main difference though, is that contrary to the hugetlbfs
series, there's no vmemmap for the area, because we are onlining it. IOW no
freeing of pages of already initialized vmemmap like the case for hugetlbfs,
which simplifies the logic (besides not being arch-specific). After these,
there's quite visible region bootstrap of pmem memmap given that we would
initialize fewer struct pages depending on the page size.
NVDIMM namespace bootstrap improves from ~750ms to ~190ms/<=1ms on emulated NVDIMMs
with 2M and 1G respectivally. The net gain in improvement is similarly observed
in proportion when running on actual NVDIMMs.
Patch 6 - 8: Optimize grabbing/release a page refcount changes given that we
are working with compound pages i.e. we do 1 increment/decrement to the head
page for a given set of N subpages compared as opposed to N individual writes.
{get,pin}_user_pages_fast() for zone_device with compound pagemap consequently
improves considerably, and unpin_user_pages() improves as well when passed a
set of consecutive pages:
before after
(get_user_pages_fast 1G;2M page size) ~75k us -> ~3.2k ; ~5.2k us
(pin_user_pages_fast 1G;2M page size) ~125k us -> ~3.4k ; ~5.5k us
The RDMA patch (patch 8/9) is to demonstrate the improvement for an existing
user. For unpin_user_pages() we have an additional test to demonstrate the
improvement. The test performs MR reg/unreg continuously and measuring its
rate for a given period. So essentially ib_mem_get and ib_mem_release being
stress tested which at the end of day means: pin_user_pages_longterm() and
unpin_user_pages() for a scatterlist:
Before:
159 rounds in 5.027 sec: 31617.923 usec / round (device-dax)
466 rounds in 5.009 sec: 10748.456 usec / round (hugetlbfs)
After:
305 rounds in 5.010 sec: 16426.047 usec / round (device-dax)
1073 rounds in 5.004 sec: 4663.622 usec / round (hugetlbfs)
Patch 9: Improves {pin,get}_user_pages() and its longterm counterpart. It
is very experimental, and I imported most of follow_hugetlb_page(), except
that we do the same trick as gup-fast. In doing the patch I feel this batching
should live in follow_page_mask() and having that being changed to return a set
of pages/something-else when walking over PMD/PUDs for THP / devmap pages. This
patch then brings the previous test of mr reg/unreg (above) on parity
between device-dax and hugetlbfs.
Some of the patches are a little fresh/WIP (specially patch 3 and 9) and we are
still running tests. Hence the RFC, asking for comments and general direction
of the work before continuing.
Patches apply on top of linux-next tag next-20201208 (commit a9e26cb5f261).
Comments and suggestions very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Joao

Yes. I'd keep the experimental tag for a cycle or two to make sure that
nothing new pops up, but otherwise the two patchsets you've sent close
those two big remaining gaps. Thank you for working on this!

That remains to be seen through QA/validation, but I think that's it.
Granted, I still have to read through the two patchsets...

[ndctl PATCH] Expose ndctl_bus_nfit_translate_spa as a public function.
by Tsaur, Erwin
The motivation is to allow access to ACPI defined NVDIMM Root Device _DSM Function Index 5(Translate SPA). The rest of the _DSM functions, which are mostly ARS related, are already public.
Basically move ndctl_bus_nfit_translate_spa declaration from private.h to libndctl.h.

[ndctl PATCH] ndctl/test: add checking the presence of jq command ahead
by QI Fuli
Due to the lack of jq command, the result of the test will be 'fail'.
This patch adds checking the presence of jq commmand ahead.
If there is no jq command in the system, the test will be marked as 'skip'.

[PATCH 0/7] fsdax,xfs: Add reflink&dedupe support for fsdax
by Shiyang Ruan
This patchset is attempt to add CoW support for fsdax, and take XFS,
which has both reflink and fsdax feature, as an example.
One of the key mechanism need to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destance
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.
Another mechanism is range comparison . In page cache case, readpage()
is used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to
compare data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need
another compare data with direct access support.
With the two mechanism implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.
Some of the patches are picked up from Goldwyn's patchset. I made some
changes to adapt to this patchset.
(Rebased on v5.10)
==
Shiyang Ruan (7):
fsdax: Output address in dax_iomap_pfn() and rename it
fsdax: Introduce dax_copy_edges() for CoW
fsdax: Copy data before write
fsdax: Replace mmap entry in case of CoW
fsdax: Dedup file range to use a compare function
fs/xfs: Handle CoW for fsdax write() path
fs/xfs: Add dedupe support for fsdax
