dax: move writeback calls into the filesystems

2016-02-27T18:28:52+00:00

Previously calls to dax_writeback_mapping_range() for all DAX filesystems
(ext2, ext4 & xfs) were centralized in filemap_write_and_wait_range().

dax_writeback_mapping_range() needs a struct block_device, and it used
to get that from inode->i_sb->s_bdev.  This is correct for normal inodes
mounted on ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for DAX raw
block devices and for XFS real-time files.

Instead, call dax_writeback_mapping_range() directly from the filesystem
->writepages function so that it can supply us with a valid block
device.  This also fixes DAX code to properly flush caches in response
to sync(2).

dax: give DAX clearing code correct bdev

2016-02-27T18:28:52+00:00

dax_clear_blocks() needs a valid struct block_device and previously it
was using inode->i_sb->s_bdev in all cases.  This is correct for normal
inodes on mounted ext2, ext4 and XFS filesystems, but is incorrect for
DAX raw block devices and for XFS real-time devices.

Instead, rename dax_clear_blocks() to dax_clear_sectors(), and change
its arguments to take a bdev and a sector instead of an inode and a
block.  This better reflects what the function does, and it allows the
filesystem and raw block device code to pass in an appropriate struct
block_device.

ext2, ext4: only set S_DAX for regular inodes

2016-02-27T18:28:52+00:00

When S_DAX is set on an inode we assume that if there are pages attached
to the mapping (mapping->nrpages != 0), those pages are clean zero pages
that were used to service reads from holes.  Any dirty data associated
with the inode should be in the form of DAX exceptional entries
(mapping->nrexceptional) that is written back via
dax_writeback_mapping_range().

With the current code, though, this isn't always true.  For example,
ext2 and ext4 directory inodes can have S_DAX set, but have their dirty
data stored as dirty page cache entries.  For these types of inodes,
having S_DAX set doesn't really make sense since their I/O doesn't
actually happen through the DAX code path.

Instead, only allow S_DAX to be set for regular inodes for ext2 and
ext4.  This allows us to have strict DAX vs non-DAX paths in the
writeback code.

don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem

2015-12-09T03:41:36+00:00

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking
the system.

new helper (inode_nohighmem(inode)) needs to be used for pagecache
symlinks inodes; done for all in-tree cases.  page_follow_link_light()
instrumented to yell about anything missed.

ext2: Add locking for DAX faults

2015-10-19T12:40:54+00:00

Add locking to ensure that DAX faults are isolated from ext2 operations
that modify the data blocks allocation for an inode.  This is intended to
be analogous to the work being done in XFS by Dave Chinner:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg90260.html

Compared with XFS the ext2 case is greatly simplified by the fact that ext2
already allocates and zeros new blocks before they are returned as part of
ext2_get_block(), so DAX doesn't need to worry about getting unmapped or
unwritten buffer heads.

This means that the only work we need to do in ext2 is to isolate the DAX
faults from inode block allocation changes.  I believe this just means that
we need to isolate the DAX faults from truncate operations.

The newly introduced dax_sem is intended to replicate the protection
offered by i_mmaplock in XFS.  In addition to truncate the i_mmaplock also
protects XFS operations like hole punching, fallocate down, extent
manipulation IOCTLS like xfs_ioc_space() and extent swapping.  Truncate is
the only one of these operations supported by ext2.

dax: move DAX-related functions to a new header

2015-09-08T22:35:28+00:00

In order to handle the !CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGES case, we need to
return VM_FAULT_FALLBACK from the inlined dax_pmd_fault(), which is
defined in linux/mm.h.  Given that we don't want to include 
in , the easiest solution is to move the DAX-related
functions to a new header, .  We could also have moved
VM_FAULT_* definitions to a new header, or a different header that isn't
quite such a boil-the-ocean header as , but this felt like
the best option.
