ida_alloc_max() makes it clear that the second argument is inclusive,
and the alloc/free terminology is more idiomatic and symmetric then
get/remove.

<id>urn:sha1:8012b866085523758780850087102421dbcce522</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "v14 fsdax-rmap + v11 fsdax-reflink", v2.

The patchset fsdax-rmap is aimed to support shared pages tracking for
fsdax.

It moves owner tracking from dax_assocaite_entry() to pmem device driver,
by introducing an interface -&gt;memory_failure() for struct pagemap.  This
interface is called by memory_failure() in mm, and implemented by pmem
device.

Then call holder operations to find the filesystem which the corrupted
data located in, and call filesystem handler to track files or metadata
associated with this page.

Finally we are able to try to fix the corrupted data in filesystem and do
other necessary processing, such as killing processes who are using the
files affected.

The call trace is like this:
memory_failure()
|* fsdax case
|------------
|pgmap-&gt;ops-&gt;memory_failure()      =&gt; pmem_pgmap_memory_failure()
| dax_holder_notify_failure()      =&gt;
|  dax_device-&gt;holder_ops-&gt;notify_failure() =&gt;
|                                     - xfs_dax_notify_failure()
|  |* xfs_dax_notify_failure()
|  |--------------------------
|  |   xfs_rmap_query_range()
|  |    xfs_dax_failure_fn()
|  |    * corrupted on metadata
|  |       try to recover data, call xfs_force_shutdown()
|  |    * corrupted on file data
|  |       try to recover data, call mf_dax_kill_procs()
|* normal case
|-------------
|mf_generic_kill_procs()


The patchset fsdax-reflink attempts to add CoW support for fsdax, and
takes XFS, which has both reflink and fsdax features, as an example.

One of the key mechanisms needed to be implemented in fsdax is CoW.  Copy
the data from srcmap before we actually write data to the destination
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.


This patch (of 14):

To easily track filesystem from a pmem device, we introduce a holder for
dax_device structure, and also its operation.  This holder is used to
remember who is using this dax_device:

 - When it is the backend of a filesystem, the holder will be the
   instance of this filesystem.
 - When this pmem device is one of the targets in a mapped device, the
   holder will be this mapped device.  In this case, the mapped device
   has its own dax_device and it will follow the first rule.  So that we
   can finally track to the filesystem we needed.

The holder and holder_ops will be set when filesystem is being mounted,
or an target device is being activated.

<title>dax: add .recovery_write dax_operation</title>

<content type='text'>
Introduce dax_recovery_write() operation. The function is used to
recover a dax range that contains poison. Typical use case is when
a user process receives a SIGBUS with si_code BUS_MCEERR_AR
indicating poison(s) in a dax range, in response, the user process
issues a pwrite() to the page-aligned dax range, thus clears the
poison and puts valid data in the range.

<content type='text'>
Up till now, dax_direct_access() is used implicitly for normal
access, but for the purpose of recovery write, dax range with
poison is requested.  To make the interface clear, introduce
	enum dax_access_mode {
		DAX_ACCESS,
		DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE,
	}
where DAX_ACCESS is used for normal dax access, and
DAX_RECOVERY_WRITE is used for dax recovery write.

kmem_cache_alloc() of all filesystems to alloc_inode_sb().

These methods indirect the actual DAX read/write path.  In the end pmem
uses magic flush and mc safe variants and fuse and dcssblk use plain ones
while device mapper picks redirects to the underlying device.

Add set_dax_nocache() and set_dax_nomc() APIs to control which copy
routines are used to remove indirect call from the read/write fast path
as well as a lot of boilerplate code.
