[PATCH 2/2] dm log writes: add support for DAX

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

 



Now that we have the ability log filesystem writes using a flat buffer, add
support for DAX.  Unfortunately we can't easily track data that has been
written via mmap() now that the dax_flush() abstraction was removed by this
commit:

commit c3ca015fab6d ("dax: remove the pmem_dax_ops->flush abstraction")

Otherwise we could just treat each flush as a big write, and store the data
that is being synced to media.  It may be worthwhile to add the dax_flush()
entry point back, just as a notifier so we can do this logging.

The motivation for this support is the need for an xfstest that can test
the new MAP_SYNC DAX flag.  By logging the filesystem activity with
dm-log-writes we can show that the MAP_SYNC page faults are writing out
their metadata as they happen, instead of requiring an explicit
msync/fsync.

Here's a link to Jan's latest MAP_SYNC set, which can be used for the
fstest:

MAP_SYNC is not needed for basic DAX+dm-log-writes functionality.
