[PATCH V4 2/8] fs/ext4: Disallow verity if inode is DAX

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

 



From: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@xxxxxxxxx>

Verity and DAX are incompatible.  Changing the DAX mode due to a verity
flag change is wrong without a corresponding address_space_operations
update.

Make the 2 options mutually exclusive by returning an error if DAX was
set first.

(Setting DAX is already disabled if Verity is set first.)
