<content type='text'>
When using FUSE DAX with virtiofs, cache coherency is managed by the
host. Disk persistence is handled via fsync() and friends, which are
passed directly via the FUSE layer to the host. Therefore, there's no
need to do dax_writeback_mapping_range(). All that ends up doing is a
cache flush operation, which is not caught by KVM and doesn't do much,
since the host and guest are already cache-coherent.

Since dax_writeback_mapping_range() checks that the inode block size is
equal to PAGE_SIZE, this fixes a spurious WARN when virtiofs is used
with a mismatched guest PAGE_SIZE and virtiofs backing FS block size
(this happens, for example, when it's a tmpfs and the host and guest
have a different PAGE_SIZE). FUSE DAX does not require any particular FS
block size, since it always performs DAX mappings in aligned 2MiB
blocks.

See discussion in [1].

fuse_dax_conn_free() will be called when fuse_fill_super_common() fails
after fuse_dax_conn_alloc(). Then deactivate_locked_super() in
virtio_fs_get_tree() will call virtio_kill_sb() to release the discarded
superblock. This will call fuse_dax_conn_free() again in fuse_conn_put(),
resulting in a possible double free.

<title>mm: remove enum page_entry_size</title>

Remove the unnecessary encoding of page order into an enum and pass the
page order directly.  That lets us get rid of pe_order().

The switch constructs have to be changed to if/else constructs to prevent
GCC from warning on builds with 3-level page tables where PMD_ORDER and
PUD_ORDER have the same value.

If you are looking at this commit because your driver stopped compiling,
look at the previous commit as well and audit your driver to be sure it
doesn't depend on mmap_lock being held in its -&gt;huge_fault method.

DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

<title>fuse: mark inode DONT_CACHE when per inode DAX hint changes</title>

When the per inode DAX hint changes while the file is still *opened*, it
is quite complicated and maybe fragile to dynamically change the DAX
state.

Hence mark the inode and corresponding dentries as DONE_CACHE once the
per inode DAX hint changes, so that the inode instance will be evicted
and freed as soon as possible once the file is closed and the last
reference to the inode is put. And then when the file gets reopened next
time, the new instantiated inode will reflect the new DAX state.

In summary, when the per inode DAX hint changes for an *opened* file, the
DAX state of the file won't be updated until this file is closed and
reopened later.

Among the FUSE_INIT phase, client shall advertise per inode DAX if it's
mounted with "dax=inode". Then server is aware that client is in per
inode DAX mode, and will construct per-inode DAX attribute accordingly.

Server shall also advertise support for per inode DAX. If server doesn't
support it while client is mounted with "dax=inode", client will
silently fallback to "dax=never" since "dax=inode" is advisory only.
