[PATCH v2 3/4] xfs: unmap dax at shutdown (force_failure)

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

 



When an exceptional event triggers xfs_force_shutdown() tear down dax
mappings.  Quoting Dave,

    "The simple fact is that a /filesystem/ shutdown needs to do DAX
    mapping invalidation regardless of whether the block device has
    been unplugged or not. This is not a case of "this only happens
    when we unplug the device", this is a user data protection
    mechanism that we use to prevent corruption propagation once it
    has been detected. A device unplug is just one type of
    "corruption" that can occur."
