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 V6:
- Rebased on switch iomap to an iterator model v2[1]
- Replace iomap_apply2() with iomap_iter2() because of the new model
- Introduce dax_iomap_ops and dax_iomap_ops->actor_end() to handle the end
of CoW before iomap_ops->iomap_end()
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])
