ext2, ext4: warn when mounting with dax enabled

2015-11-16T17:43:54Z

Similar to XFS warn when mounting DAX while it is still considered under development. Also, aspects of the DAX implementation, for example synchronization against multiple faults and faults causing block allocation, depend on the correct implementation in the filesystem. The maturity of a given DAX implementation is filesystem specific. Cc: Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org Cc: Kirill A.

xattr handlers: Pass handler to operations instead of flags

2015-11-14T01:34:32Z

The xattr_handler operations are currently all passed a file system specific flags value which the operations can use to disambiguate between different handlers; some file systems use that to distinguish the xattr namespace, for example. In some oprations, it would be useful to also have access to the handler prefix. To allow that, pass a pointer to the handler to operations instead of the flags value alone.

ext2: Add locking for DAX faults

2015-10-19T12:40:54Z

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. Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Jan Kara

dax: move DAX-related functions to a new header

2015-09-08T22:35:28Z

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.
