Subject: fsdax: set a CoW flag when associate reflink mappings
Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2022 13:37:31 +0800
Introduce a PAGE_MAPPING_DAX_COW flag to support association with CoW file
mappings. In this case, since the dax-rmap has already took the
responsibility to look up for shared files by given dax page, the
page->mapping is no longer to used for rmap but for marking that this dax
page is shared. And to make sure disassociation works fine, we use
page->index as refcount, and clear page->mapping to the initial state when
page->index is decreased to 0.
With the help of this new flag, it is able to distinguish normal case and
CoW case, and keep the warning in normal case.
