fdput() can be transposed with add_{r,w}char() and inc_sysc{r,w}();
it's the same story as with do_readv()/do_writev(), only with
fdput() instead of fdput_pos().

<title>fs/block: Check for IOCB_DIRECT in generic_atomic_write_valid()</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently FMODE_CAN_ATOMIC_WRITE is set if the bdev can atomic write and
the file is open for direct IO. This does not work if the file is not
opened for direct IO, yet fcntl(O_DIRECT) is used on the fd later.

Change to check for direct IO on a per-IO basis in
generic_atomic_write_valid(). Since we want to report -EOPNOTSUPP for
non-direct IO for an atomic write, change to return an error code.

Relocate the block fops atomic write checks to the common write path, as to
catch non-direct IO.

Darrick and Hannes both thought it better that generic_atomic_write_valid()
should be passed a struct iocb, and not just the member of that struct
which is referenced; see [0] and [1].

I think that makes a more generic and clean API, so make that change.

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.

  Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
  series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
  bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.

  With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
  difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
  the future.

   - struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
     32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
     struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
     fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
     bytes.

   - Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
     and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
     we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
     struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
     bytes.

   - Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.

     I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
     to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
     actually provide really good perf data.

   - Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.

     Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
     is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
     located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
     part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
     prevent object recycling.

     That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
     adding a new cacheline.

     So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
     function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
     freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
     implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.

   - And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.

     The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
     used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
     directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
     completely unrelated things.

     It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
     really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
     really lacks a specific function.

     For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
     a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
     multiple struct files in their -&gt;private_data so there's no chance
     of pushing that down into file-&gt;private_data without introducing
     another pointer indirection.

     But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
     file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
     pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
     types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"
