Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma: "DAX error handling for 4.7 - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver. - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1. Other misc changes: - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes would fail. - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks" * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks) dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks block: Add vfs_msg() interface dax: Remove redundant inode size checks dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io() dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io() dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c

ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount

2016-05-17T06:44:11Z

When a partition is not aligned by 4KB, mount -o dax succeeds, but any read/write access to the filesystem fails, except for metadata update. Call bdev_dax_supported() to perform proper precondition checks which includes this partition alignment check.

Backmerge to resolve a conflict in ovl_lookup_real(); "ovl_lookup_real(): use lookup_one_len_unlocked()" instead, but it was too late in the cycle to rebase.

dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument

2016-05-17T00:11:51Z

Fault handlers currently take complete_unwritten argument to convert unwritten extents after PTEs are updated. However no filesystem uses this anymore as the code is racy. Remove the unused argument. Reviewed-by: Ross Zwisler Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma

ext4: pre-zero allocated blocks for DAX IO

2016-05-13T04:51:15Z

Currently ext4 treats DAX IO the same way as direct IO. I.e., it allocates unwritten extents before IO is done and converts unwritten extents afterwards. However this way DAX IO can race with page fault to the same area: ext4_ext_direct_IO() dax_fault() dax_io() get_block() - allocates unwritten extent copy_from_iter_pmem() get_block() - converts unwritten block to written and zeroes it out ext4_convert_unwritten_extents() So data written with DAX IO gets lost. Similarly dax_new_buf() called from dax_io() can overwrite data that has been already written to the block via mmap. Fix the problem by using pre-zeroed blocks for DAX IO the same way as we use them for DAX mmap. The downside of this solution is that every allocating write writes each block twice (once zeros, once data). Fixing the race with locking is possible as well however we would need to lock-out faults for the whole range written to by DAX IO. And that is not easy to do without locking-out faults for the whole file which seems too aggressive. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o
