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. Add alignment check to ext4, ext2, and xfs. - Patch 1-2 add bdev_supports_dax() which performs all the checks necessary for dax mount. - Patch 3-5 change fillesystems to call bdev_supports_dax(). v3: - Remove boilerplate code from filesytems (Christoph Hellwig) - Add a helper function to perform all checks (Dave Chinner) v2: - Use a helper function via ->direct_access for the check. (Christoph Hellwig) - Call bdev_direct_access() with sector 0 for the check.
