Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma: "DAX error handling for 4.7 - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver. - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1. Other misc changes: - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent reads/writes would fail. - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks" * tag 'dax-misc-for-4.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: dax: fix a comment in dax_zero_page_range and dax_truncate_page dax: for truncate/hole-punch, do zeroing through the driver if possible dax: export a low-level __dax_zero_page_range helper dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors dax: enable dax in the presence of known media errors (badblocks) dax: fallback from pmd to pte on error block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency xfs: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext2: Add alignment check for DAX mount ext4: Add alignment check for DAX mount block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks block: Add vfs_msg() interface dax: Remove redundant inode size checks dax: Remove pointless writeback from dax_do_io() dax: Remove zeroing from dax_io() dax: Remove dead zeroing code from fault handlers ext2: Avoid DAX zeroing to corrupt data ext2: Fix block zeroing in ext2_get_blocks() for DAX dax: Remove complete_unwritten argument DAX: move RADIX_DAX_ definitions to dax.c

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "On top of the core pull request, this is the drivers pull request for this merge window. This contains: - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the flush flags. From me. - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver.

block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency

2016-05-17T06:44:13+00:00

blkdev_dax_capable() is similar to bdev_dax_supported(), but needs to remain as a separate interface for checking dax capability of a raw block device. Rename and relocate blkdev_dax_capable() to keep them maintained consistently, and call bdev_direct_access() for the dax capability check. There is no change in the behavior.

block: Add bdev_dax_supported() for dax mount checks

2016-05-17T06:44:11+00:00

DAX imposes additional requirements to a device. Add bdev_dax_supported() which performs all the precondition checks necessary for filesystem to mount the device with dax option. Also add a new check to verify if a partition is aligned by 4KB. When a partition is unaligned, any dax read/write access fails, except for metadata update.

block: Add vfs_msg() interface

2016-05-17T06:44:10+00:00

In preparation of moving DAX capability checks to the block layer from filesystem code, add a VFS message interface that aligns with filesystem's message format. For instance, a vfs_msg() message followed by XFS messages in case of a dax mount error may look like: VFS (pmem0p1): error: unaligned partition for dax XFS (pmem0p1): DAX unsupported by block device. Turning off DAX. XFS (pmem0p1): Mounting V5 Filesystem : vfs_msg() is largely based on ext4_msg().

This is a version of blkdev_issue_discard which doesn't wait for the I/O to complete, but instead allows the caller to submit the final bio and/or chain it to others.

block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device

2016-04-12T21:46:27+00:00

Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has write back caching, or write through (or none). Add a sysfs file to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space. This will replace the (awkward) blk_queue_flush() interface that drivers currently use to inform the block layer of write cache state and capabilities.
