dax: don't abuse get_block mapping for endio callbacks

2015-06-03T23:18:18+00:00

dax_fault() currently relies on the get_block callback to attach an
io completion callback to the mapping buffer head so that it can
run unwritten extent conversion after zeroing allocated blocks.

Instead of this hack, pass the conversion callback directly into
dax_fault() similar to the get_block callback. When the filesystem
allocates unwritten extents, it will set the buffer_unwritten()
flag, and hence the dax_fault code can call the completion function
in the contexts where it is necessary without overloading the
mapping buffer head.

Note: The changes to ext4 to use this interface are suspect at best.
In fact, the way ext4 did this end_io assignment in the first place
looks suspect because it only set a completion callback when there
wasn't already some other write() call taking place on the same
inode. The ext4 end_io code looks rather intricate and fragile with
all it's reference counting and passing to different contexts for
modification via inode private pointers that aren't protected by
locks...

dax: unify ext2/4_{dax,}_file_operations

2015-04-15T23:35:20+00:00

The original dax patchset split the ext2/4_file_operations because of the
two NULL splice_read/splice_write in the dax case.

In the vfs if splice_read/splice_write are NULL we then call
default_splice_read/write.

What we do here is make generic_file_splice_read aware of IS_DAX() so the
original ext2/4_file_operations can be used as is.

For write it appears that iter_file_splice_write is just fine.  It uses
the regular f_op->write(file,..) or new_sync_write(file, ...).

dax: use pfn_mkwrite to update c/mtime + freeze protection

2015-04-15T23:35:20+00:00

From: Yigal Korman 

[v1]
Without this patch, c/mtime is not updated correctly when mmap'ed page is
first read from and then written to.

A new xfstest is submitted for testing this (generic/080)

[v2]
Jan Kara has pointed out that if we add the
sb_start/end_pagefault pair in the new pfn_mkwrite we
are then fixing another bug where: A user could start
writing to the page while filesystem is frozen.

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40+00:00

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or
called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL
{read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases.

ext2: get rid of most mentions of XIP in ext2

2015-02-17T01:56:04+00:00

To help people transition, accept the 'xip' mount option (and report it in
/proc/mounts), but print a message encouraging people to switch over to
the 'dax' option.

vfs,ext2: remove CONFIG_EXT2_FS_XIP and rename CONFIG_FS_XIP to CONFIG_FS_DAX

2015-02-17T01:56:04+00:00

The fewer Kconfig options we have the better.  Use the generic
CONFIG_FS_DAX to enable XIP support in ext2 as well as in the core.

dax,ext2: replace the XIP page fault handler with the DAX page fault handler

2015-02-17T01:56:03+00:00

Instead of calling aops->get_xip_mem from the fault handler, the
filesystem passes a get_block_t that is used to find the appropriate
blocks.

This requires that all architectures implement copy_user_page().  At the
time of writing, mips and arm do not.  Patches exist and are in progress.

dax,ext2: replace XIP read and write with DAX I/O

2015-02-17T01:56:03+00:00

Use the generic AIO infrastructure instead of custom read and write
methods.  In addition to giving us support for AIO, this adds the missing
locking between read() and truncate().

->splice_write() via ->write_iter()

2014-06-12T04:18:51+00:00

iter_file_splice_write() - a ->splice_write() instance that gathers the
pipe buffers, builds a bio_vec-based iov_iter covering those and feeds
it to ->write_iter().  A bunch of simple cases coverted to that...
