[PATCH v4 3/6] ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount

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

 



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.
