In Patch:
	[7a862fb] brd: remove dax support

  Dan Williams has removed the only might_sleep
  implementation of -&gt;direct_access.
  So we no longer need to check for it.

<title>dax: require 'struct page' by default for filesystem dax</title>

If a dax buffer from a device that does not map pages is passed to
read(2) or write(2) as a target for direct-I/O it triggers SIGBUS. If
gdb attempts to examine the contents of a dax buffer from a device that
does not map pages it triggers SIGBUS. If fork(2) is called on a process
with a dax mapping from a device that does not map pages it triggers
SIGBUS. 'struct page' is required otherwise several kernel code paths
break in surprising ways. Disable filesystem-dax on devices that do not
map pages.

In addition to needing pfn_to_page() to be valid we also require devmap
pages.  We need this to detect dax pages in the get_user_pages_fast()
path and so that we can stop managing the VM_MIXEDMAP flag. For DAX
drivers that have not supported get_user_pages() to date we allow them
to opt-in to supporting DAX with the CONFIG_FS_DAX_LIMITED configuration
option which requires -&gt;direct_access() to return pfn_t_special() pfns.
This leaves DAX support in brd disabled and scheduled for removal.

Note that when the initial dax support was being merged a few years back
there was concern that struct page was unsuitable for use with next
generation persistent memory devices. The theoretical concern was that
struct page access, being such a hotly used data structure in the
kernel, would lead to media wear out. While that was a reasonable
conservative starting position it has not held true in practice. We have
long since committed to using devm_memremap_pages() to support higher
order kernel functionality that needs get_user_pages() and
pfn_to_page().

Now that dax_flush() is no longer a driver callback (commit c3ca015fab6d
"dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction"), stop requiring the
dax_read_lock() to be held and the device to be alive.  This is in
preparation for switching filesystem-dax to store pfns instead of
sectors in the radix.

Before we add another failure reason, quiet the existing log messages.
Leave it to the caller to decide if bdev_dax_supported() failures are
errors worth emitting to the log.

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Some request-based DM core and DM multipath fixes and cleanups

 - Constify a few variables in DM core and DM integrity

 - Add bufio optimization and checksum failure accounting to DM
   integrity

 - Fix DM integrity to avoid checking integrity of failed reads

 - Fix DM integrity to use init_completion

 - A couple DM log-writes target fixes

 - Simplify DAX flushing by eliminating the unnecessary flush
   abstraction that was stood up for DM's use.

Commit abebfbe2f731 ("dm: add -&gt;flush() dax operation support") is
buggy. A DM device may be composed of multiple underlying devices and
all of them need to be flushed. That commit just routes the flush
request to the first device and ignores the other devices.

It could be fixed by adding more complex logic to the device mapper. But
there is only one implementation of the method pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush - that
is pmem_dax_flush() - and it calls arch_wb_cache_pmem(). Consequently, we
don't need the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction at all, we can call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush() because dax_dev-&gt;ops-&gt;flush
can't ever reach anything different from arch_wb_cache_pmem().

It should be also pointed out that for some uses of persistent memory it
is needed to flush only a very small amount of data (such as 1 cacheline),
and it would be overkill if we go through that device mapper machinery for
a single flushed cache line.

Fix this by removing the pmem_dax_ops-&gt;flush abstraction and call
arch_wb_cache_pmem() directly from dax_flush(). Also, remove the device
mapper code that forwards the flushes.

Add a helper that can replace the following common pattern:

	if (blk_queue_dax(bdev-&gt;bd_queue))
		fs_dax_get_by_host(bdev-&gt;bd_disk-&gt;disk_name);

This will be used to move dax_device lookup from iomap-operation time to
fs-mount time.

<title>dm, dax: Make sure dm_dax_flush() is called if device supports it</title>

Currently dm_dax_flush() is not being called, even if underlying dax
device supports write cache, because DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE is not being
propagated up to the DM dax device.

If the underlying dax device supports write cache, set
DAXDEV_WRITE_CACHE on the DM dax device.  This will cause dm_dax_flush()
to be called.
