Done.

Added.

Er ... patch 11. I'll reorder the patches ;-)

Erm ... it will return -EBUSY if this was the task that previously
faulted on it. Drat. See below.

I think it's easier than that. How does this look?

Err ... we might allocate a block as a result of doing a write to a hole.
Or does that not count as 'modifying the filesystem' in this context?

... except that it might be a write fault. I think we modify the file
iff we return VM_FAULT_MAJOR from do_dax_fault(). So I'd be open to
something like this:
sb_start_pagefault(sb);
result = do_dax_fault(vma, vmf, get_block);
if (result & VM_FAULT_MAJOR)
file_update_time(vma->vm_file);
sb_end_pagefault(sb);
Would that work better for you?

The goal is to get them the same. At this point, the only sticky point is:
.splice_read = generic_file_splice_read,
.splice_write = generic_file_splice_write,
And splice is pretty damn sticky for DAX.
