From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx> https://github.com/weiny2/linux-kernel/pull/new/dax-file-state-change-v4 Changes from V3: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200208193445.27421-1-ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx/ * Remove global locking... :-D * put back per inode locking and remove pre-mature optimizations * Fix issues with Directories having IS_DAX() set * Fix kernel crash issues reported by Jeff * Add some clean up patches * Consolidate diflags to iflags functions * Update/add documentation * Reorder/rename patches quite a bit Changes from V2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200110192942.25021-1-ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx/ * Move i_dax_sem to be a global percpu_rw_sem rather than per inode Internal discussions with Dan determined this would be easier, just as performant, and slightly less overhead that having it in the SB as suggested by Jan * Fix locking order in comments and throughout code * Change "mode" to "state" throughout commits * Add CONFIG_FS_DAX wrapper to disable inode_[un]lock_state() when not configured * Add static branch for which is activated by a device which supports DAX in XFS * Change "lock/unlock" to up/down read/write as appropriate Previous names were over simplified * Update comments/documentation * Remove the xfs specific lock to the vfs (global) layer. * Fix i_dax_sem locking order and comments * Move 'i_mapped' count from struct inode to struct address_space and rename it to mmap_count * Add inode_has_mappings() call * Fix build issues * Clean up syntax spacing and minor issues * Update man page text for STATX_ATTR_DAX * Add reviewed-by's * Rebase to 5.6 Rename patch: from: fs/xfs: Add lock/unlock state to xfs to: fs/xfs: Add write DAX lock to xfs layer Add patch: fs/xfs: Clarify lockdep dependency for xfs_isilocked() Drop patch: fs/xfs: Fix truncate up At LSF/MM'19 [1] [2] we discussed applications that overestimate memory consumption due to their inability to detect whether the kernel will instantiate page cache for a file, and cases where a global dax enable via a mount option is too coarse. The following patch series enables selecting the use of DAX on individual files and/or directories on xfs, and lays some groundwork to do so in ext4. In this scheme the dax mount option can be omitted to allow the per-file property to take effect. The insight at LSF/MM was to separate the per-mount or per-file "physical" capability switch from an "effective" attribute for the file. At LSF/MM we discussed the difficulties of switching the DAX state of a file with active mappings / page cache. It was thought the races could be avoided by limiting DAX state flips to 0-length files. However, this turns out to not be true.[3] This is because address space operations (a_ops) may be in use at any time the inode is referenced and users have expressed a desire to be able to change the DAX state on a file with data in it. For those reasons this patch set allows changing the DAX state flag on a file as long as it is not current mapped. Details of when and how DAX state can be changed on a file is included in a documentation patch. It should be noted that the physical DAX flag inheritance is not shown in this patch set as it was maintained from previous work on XFS. The physical DAX flag and it's inheritance will need to be added to other file systems for user control. As submitted this works on real hardware testing.
