Hi Linus, please pull from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/dax-locking-for-4.7 ... to receive filesystem DAX locking changes for v4.7. These current version of these changes have been under review and test for a few weeks, and have appeared in the two most recent linux-next releases (next-20160520 and next-20160524). I've reviewed all of the DAX changes in these patches, and Neil Brown has reviewed the patch that introduced the actual locking and wait queues. This pull request is dependent on Vishal Verma's "dax-misc for 4.7" pull request. The following changes since commit 40543f62cbdce42633e3fe10923099feee272e1f: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page (2016-05-18 12:16:58 -0600) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm tags/dax-locking-for-4.7 for you to fetch changes up to 4d9a2c8746671efbb0c27d3ae28c7474597a7aad: dax: Remove i_mmap_lock protection (2016-05-19 15:28:40 -0600) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Filesystem DAX locking for 4.7 - We use a bit in an exceptional radix tree entry as a lock bit and use it similarly to how page lock is used for normal faults. This fixes races between hole instantiation and read faults of the same index. - Filesystem DAX PMD faults are disabled, and will be re-enabled when PMD locking is implemented. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Kara (7): dax: Fix condition for filling of PMD holes dax: Make huge page handling depend of CONFIG_BROKEN dax: Define DAX lock bit for radix tree exceptional entry dax: Allow DAX code to replace exceptional entries dax: New fault locking dax: Use radix tree entry lock to protect cow faults dax: Remove i_mmap_lock protection fs/Kconfig | 1 + fs/dax.c | 592 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------------- include/linux/dax.h | 16 ++- include/linux/mm.h | 7 ++ mm/filemap.c | 30 +++-- mm/memory.c | 40 +++---- mm/truncate.c | 62 +++++----- 7 files changed, 513 insertions(+), 235 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
