ext2/4, xfs: call thp_get_unmapped_area() for pmd mappings

2016-10-08T01:46:28+00:00

To support DAX pmd mappings with unmodified applications, filesystems
need to align an mmap address by the pmd size.

Call thp_get_unmapped_area() from f_op->get_unmapped_area.

Note, there is no change in behavior for a non-DAX file.

ext4: remove plugging from ext4_file_write_iter()

2016-09-30T05:57:41+00:00

do_blockdev_direct_IO() takes care of properly plugging direct IO so
there's no need to plug again inside ext4_file_write_iter().

ext4: allow unlocked direct IO when pages are cached

2016-09-30T05:55:32+00:00

Currently we do not allow unlocked (meaning without inode_lock) direct
IO when the file has any pages cached. This check is not needed anymore
as we keep inode lock until ext4_direct_IO_write() and thus can happily
writeback and evict any pages conflicting with current direct IO write.

dax: remote unused fault wrappers

2016-07-26T23:19:19+00:00

Remove the unused wrappers dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault().  After this
removal, rename __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() to dax_fault() and
dax_pmd_fault() respectively, and update all callers.

The dax_fault() and dax_pmd_fault() wrappers were initially intended to
capture some filesystem independent functionality around page faults
(calling sb_start_pagefault() & sb_end_pagefault(), updating file mtime
and ctime).

However, the following commits:

   5726b27b09cc ("ext2: Add locking for DAX faults")
   ea3d7209ca01 ("ext4: fix races between page faults and hole punching")

added locking to the ext2 and ext4 filesystems after these common
operations but before __dax_fault() and __dax_pmd_fault() were called.
This means that these wrappers are no longer used, and are unlikely to
be used in the future.

XFS has had locking analogous to what was recently added to ext2 and
ext4 since DAX support was initially introduced by:

   6b698edeeef0 ("xfs: add DAX file operations support")

ext4 crypto: migrate into vfs's crypto engine

2016-07-10T18:01:03+00:00

This patch removes the most parts of internal crypto codes.
And then, it modifies and adds some ext4-specific crypt codes to use the generic
facility.
