dax,iomap: Add helper dax_iomap_zero() to zero a range

2020-04-03T02:15:03+00:00

Add a helper dax_ioamp_zero() to zero a range. This patch basically
merges __dax_zero_page_range() and iomap_dax_zero().

dax: Use new dax zero page method for zeroing a page

2020-04-03T02:15:03+00:00

Use new dax native zero page method for zeroing page if I/O is page
aligned. Otherwise fall back to direct_access() + memcpy().

This gets rid of one of the depenendency on block device in dax path.

dax: pass NOWAIT flag to iomap_apply

2020-02-06T04:34:32+00:00

fstests generic/471 reports a failure when run with MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o
dax".  The reason is that the initial pwrite to an empty file with the
RWF_NOWAIT flag set does not return -EAGAIN.  It turns out that
dax_iomap_rw doesn't pass that flag through to iomap_apply.

With this patch applied, generic/471 passes for me.

dax: Pass dax_dev instead of bdev to dax_writeback_mapping_range()

2020-01-03T19:13:12+00:00

As of now dax_writeback_mapping_range() takes "struct block_device" as a
parameter and dax_dev is searched from bdev name. This also involves taking
a fresh reference on dax_dev and putting that reference at the end of
function.

We are developing a new filesystem virtio-fs and using dax to access host
page cache directly. But there is no block device. IOW, we want to make
use of dax but want to get rid of this assumption that there is always
a block device associated with dax_dev.

So pass in "struct dax_device" as parameter instead of bdev.

ext2/ext4/xfs are current users and they already have a reference on
dax_device. So there is no need to take reference and drop reference to
dax_device on each call of this function.

Merge tag 'iomap-5.5-merge-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/xfs/xfs-linux

2019-11-30T18:44:49+00:00

Pull iomap updates from Darrick Wong:
 "In this release, we hoisted as much of XFS' writeback code into iomap
  as was practicable, refactored the unshare file data function, added
  the ability to perform buffered io copy on write, and tweaked various
  parts of the directio implementation as needed to port ext4's directio
  code (that will be a separate pull).

  Summary:

   - Make iomap_dio_rw callers explicitly tell us if they want us to
     wait

   - Port the xfs writeback code to iomap to complete the buffered io
     library functions

   - Refactor the unshare code to share common pieces

   - Add support for performing copy on write with buffered writes

   - Other minor fixes

   - Fix unchecked return in iomap_bmap

   - Fix a type casting bug in a ternary statement in
     iomap_dio_bio_actor

   - Improve tracepoints for easier diagnostic ability

   - Fix pipe page leakage in directio reads"

fs/dax: Fix pmd vs pte conflict detection

2019-10-23T05:53:02+00:00

Users reported a v5.3 performance regression and inability to establish
huge page mappings. A revised version of the ndctl "dax.sh" huge page
unit test identifies commit 23c84eb78375 "dax: Fix missed wakeup with
PMD faults" as the source.

Update get_unlocked_entry() to check for NULL entries before checking
the entry order, otherwise NULL is misinterpreted as a present pte
conflict. The 'order' check needs to happen before the locked check as
an unlocked entry at the wrong order must fallback to lookup the correct
order.

iomap: use a srcmap for a read-modify-write I/O

2019-10-21T15:51:59+00:00

The srcmap is used to identify where the read is to be performed from.
It is passed to ->iomap_begin, which can fill it in if we need to read
data for partially written blocks from a different location than the
write target.  The srcmap is only supported for buffered writes so far.

dax: dax_layout_busy_page() should not unmap cow pages

2019-08-05T21:59:05+00:00

Vivek:

    "As of now dax_layout_busy_page() calls unmap_mapping_range() with last
     argument as 1, which says even unmap cow pages. I am wondering who needs
     to get rid of cow pages as well.

     I noticed one interesting side affect of this. I mount xfs with -o dax and
     mmaped a file with MAP_PRIVATE and wrote some data to a page which created
     cow page. Then I called fallocate() on that file to zero a page of file.
     fallocate() called dax_layout_busy_page() which unmapped cow pages as well
     and then I tried to read back the data I wrote and what I get is old
     data from persistent memory. I lost the data I had written. This
     read basically resulted in new fault and read back the data from
     persistent memory.

     This sounds wrong. Are there any users which need to unmap cow pages
     as well? If not, I am proposing changing it to not unmap cow pages.

     I noticed this while while writing virtio_fs code where when I tried
     to reclaim a memory range and that corrupted the executable and I
     was running from virtio-fs and program got segment violation."

Dan:

    "In fact the unmap_mapping_range() in this path is only to synchronize
     against get_user_pages_fast() and force it to call back into the
     filesystem to re-establish the mapping. COW pages should be left
     untouched by dax_layout_busy_page()."

dax: Fix missed wakeup in put_unlocked_entry()

2019-07-29T16:24:22+00:00

The condition checking whether put_unlocked_entry() needs to wake up
following waiter got broken by commit 23c84eb78375 ("dax: Fix missed
wakeup with PMD faults"). We need to wake the waiter whenever the passed
entry is valid (i.e., non-NULL and not special conflict entry). This
could lead to processes never being woken up when waiting for entry
lock. Fix the condition.
