This patchset is attempt to add CoW support for fsdax, and take XFS,
which has both reflink and fsdax feature, as an example.
Changes from V7:
- Patch 3: Update to iter model[1]
- Patch 4: Add the missing memset() in CoW case
- Remove iomap_iter2(), use 2 nested iomap_iter() instead
- Patch 6: Remove dax_iomap_ops, handle end CoW operations in
->iomap_end()
- Update docs, comments
One of the key mechanism need to be implemented in fsdax is CoW. Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destance
iomap. And we just copy range in which data won't be changed.
Another mechanism is range comparison. In page cache case, readpage()
is used to load data on disk to page cache in order to be able to
compare data. In fsdax case, readpage() does not work. So, we need
another compare data with direct access support.
With the two mechanisms implemented in fsdax, we are able to make reflink
and fsdax work together in XFS.
(Rebased on v5.14-rc4 and Christoph's "switch iomap to an iterator model v2"[1])
