[PATCH 0/3] vfio, dax: disable filesystem-dax and minor fixups

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Alex, here is a change to vaddr_get_pfn() that we discussed in this
thread: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-01/msg07117.html

Namely, drop support for passing Filesystem-DAX mappings through to
guests. Perhaps in the future we can create some para-virtualized
passthrough interface to coordinate guest-DMA vs host-filesystem
operations. For now, this needs to be disabled for data-integrity and
guaranteeing forward progress of filesystem operations.

If you want to take this through your tree please grab the other dax
fixups as well. Otherwise, let me know and I'll take the lot through the
nvdimm tree.
